A compromised version of LiteLLM (1.107.0) on PyPI was found to install a credential stealer and backdoor, posing a serious supply-chain attack risk to downstream users. The incident highlights ongoing threats to the Python packaging ecosystem and the importance of dependency monitoring.
Background
LiteLLM is a widely used open-source proxy for routing LLM API calls, making its compromise particularly impactful. Supply-chain attacks via PyPI remain one of the most effective vectors for widespread credential theft.
