Summary
After an API Token exposure from an exploited trivy dependency, two new releases of litellm were uploaded to PyPI containing automatically activated malware, harvesting sensitive credentials and files, and exfiltrating to a remote API.
Anyone who has installed and run the project should assume any credentials available to litellm environment may have been exposed, and revoke/rotate thema ccordingly.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76? GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76 is a critical-severity security vulnerability in litellm (pip), affecting versions >= 1.82.7, <= 1.82.8. No fixed version is listed yet.
- Which versions of litellm are affected by GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76? litellm (pip) versions >= 1.82.7, <= 1.82.8 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-5MG7-485Q-XM76 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
