LiteLLM warns v1.107.0 users to assume affected environments are compromised
Top News
An unpinned LiteLLM pip install between 11:39 and 13:23 UTC on October 21 needs immediate attention. So does a pull of a named compromised Docker tag during its exposure window. The compromised artifacts carried credential-stealing malware and remote-code execution tools.
Here's what to check:
- The compromised PyPI package was
litellm==1.107.0, and all seven wheels were affected. - Docker Hub tags
v1.107.0,latest,main-latest, andmain-stablepointed to the compromised image from 11:46:56 to 14:20 UTC. Corresponding GHCR tags were affected until they were made unavailable by 13:51 UTC. - Assume affected environments are compromised. Avoid Python startup and pip initially, follow the advisory's cleanup steps, terminate the detached daemon, rebuild where possible, and rotate credentials the host could access.
- Pin to version
1.106.2or another explicit version published before the incident.
One catch: The unaffected enterprise exception covers only customers pulling the private enterprise release, not enterprise users generally.
