LiteLLM’s release pipeline got hit again, and this time the payload logged your keys
If you ran pip install litellm or pulled a LiteLLM Docker image on October 21, your machine was almost certainly compromised. Attackers took over the release pipeline of LiteLLM, the widely used Python proxy library that sits in front of LLM providers, and published a poisoned version 1.107.0 that steals credentials and installs a remote […]

GitHub and PyPI Introduce Time-Based Defenses Against Supply Chain Attacks
GitHub and PyPI both introduced time-based security measures this month that deliberately slow down the software supply chain. The idea is simple: make it harder for attackers to push malicious packages into your dependencies before anyone notices. Dependabot now has a default three-day cooldown before opening version update pull requests. PyPI will reject new file […]
