💨 Abstract

Hugging Face, an AI model hosting platform, experienced a security breach where internal datasets and service credentials were compromised. The attack exploited a vulnerability to run malicious code on their servers, allowing attackers to escalate permissions. Hugging Face has fixed the vulnerability, revoked compromised credentials, and urged users to review their account activities. The breach was detected using an internal AI model after a commercial provider's model was constrained by guardrails.
