Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

api/v1/inference

Hugging Face Inference API

What an attacker could do

An open Hugging Face inference endpoint allows attackers to run arbitrary prompts against hosted models, incurring compute cost, extracting training data via inversion, or abusing the model for prohibited content.

How to defend it

Gate inference behind per-token authentication and quotas, enforce rate limits and input size caps, and log requests to detect abuse and model-extraction patterns.
