• LiteLLM on PyPI is compromised

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Wed Mar 25 06:40:09 2026
    This issue
    report describes a credential-stealing attack buried within LiteLLM
    1.82.8 in the PyPI repository. It collects and exfiltrates a wide variety
    of information, including SSH keys, credentials for a number of cloud
    services, crypto wallets, and so on. Anybody who has installed this
    package has likely been compromised and needs to respond accordingly.

    Update: see this
    futuresearch article for some more information. "The release
    contains a malicious .pth file (litellm_init.pth) that executes
    automatically on every Python process startup when litellm is installed in
    the environment."
