Description
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.
