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/v2/models

Hugging Face Models API

What an attacker could do

A Hugging Face models listing endpoint can reveal private or fine-tuned model names, versions, and metadata, exposing proprietary model inventory and aiding targeted attacks on specific models.

How to defend it

Require authenticated API tokens with scoped permissions to list models, and filter responses so private model metadata is never returned to unauthenticated callers.
