Hugging Face access token
Part of Security, which counts for 30% of the overall score. When this check fires it deducts 15 points from that category, once per scan, no matter how many places it turns up.
What it detects
A Hugging Face access token (hf_...) was found. It can read or write to your models, datasets, and organizations depending on its role.
Why it matters
A Hugging Face access token can read or write to your models, datasets, and organizations depending on its role. A write token leak is a supply-chain risk for anything published under your account. The token is long-lived until revoked.
How to fix it
Move the token into an environment variable and read it at runtime. Use a read-only token where write access is not needed. Revoke the exposed token in Hugging Face settings.
