When security scanners become the weapon: A break down of the LiteLLM Supply Chain Attack
LiteLLM is a highly popular open-source Python library and proxy server that provides a unified interface for calling over 100+ Large Language Model (LLM) APIs, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, and VertexAI, using the standard OpenAI input/output format. It simplifies multi-LLM integration, offering features like automatic fallbacks, retries, and cost tracking. Because it functions as an API gateway, it acts as a credential aggregator by design, securely holding API keys for various LLM providers.
