Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

The risk is the possibility of API key interception and unauthorized access to protected functions, potentially leading to data confidentiality breaches and abuse.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade Text Embeddings Inference to a version newer than 1.9.4, implement API key masking in logs, and restrict access to logs and telemetry.
