Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference through 1.9.4 Cleartext API Key Logging
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
Hugging Face Text Embeddings Inference through 1.9.4 contains a cleartext logging vulnerability that exposes the configured api_key because the router's Args struct lacks a redact attribute for it. Attackers with access to router logs, container output, or OTLP telemetry can recover the Bearer token and call the protected embedding and rerank endpoints.
