Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
LiteLLM versions 1.81.16 up to but not including 1.83.7 are vulnerable to SQL injection in the proxy's API key verification. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted Authorization header to any LLM API route, such as POST /chat/completions, and may read data from the proxy's database and possibly modify it. Upgrade to LiteLLM 1.83.7 or later; if that is not immediately possible, set disable_error_logs to true under general_settings.
