El gancho
LiteLLM often sits in front of model providers, application databases, and customer-facing AI features. When the proxy dependency is in an affected version range, a bug in API-key verification can move from package hygiene into authentication bypass and database exposure risk.
Com funciona
The check looks for the `litellm` package in Python dependency manifests and lockfiles. Exact lockfile pins produce the strongest signal. Looser manifest ranges are reported when they clearly allow affected releases from 1.81.16 through 1.83.6.
El radio de impacto
A vulnerable LiteLLM Proxy can put API keys, proxy metadata, and backing database records at risk depending on how the service is deployed. The highest-risk case is an internet-exposed proxy used by a multi-tenant AI app.

What FixVibe checks
FixVibe repo scans look for high-confidence security patterns and dependency risk in source context. Reports identify the affected area and recommended fix. For check-specific questions about exact detection heuristics, active payload details, or source-code rule patterns, contact support@fixvibe.app.
Defensas a prueba de balas
Upgrade `litellm` to 1.83.7 or newer, regenerate the active lockfile, and deploy a fresh runtime image so an old wheel is not cached. If LiteLLM Proxy is exposed, review API-key verification assumptions, rotate credentials that may have been exposed, and keep auth tests around the proxy path.
