LiteLLM
AktivOpen-source AI gateway and Python SDK that puts 100+ LLM providers behind one OpenAI-format API
LiteLLM is a strong free default for putting many model providers behind one OpenAI-format API on your own infrastructure, with virtual keys, budgets, load balancing and guardrails in the open-source plan. Conditional on security discipline: a PyPI supply-chain compromise, an MCP authentication bypass exploited in the wild, and on September 30, 2026 a critical advisory (CVSS 9.9) that lets an internal user forge proxy admin credentials. Right for platform teams that pin versions, patch within days and harden deployments.
A self-hosted proxy forwards OpenAI-format requests to 100+ LLM providers and wraps those calls in keys, budgets, routing and logging.
Ist es das Richtige für dich?
Gut für
- Calling many model providers through one interface: LiteLLM's docs describe a single OpenAI-format API across 100+ LLMs, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI and Bedrock
- Platform teams controlling spend and access, with virtual keys, budgets, teams and RPM/TPM limits included in the free open-source plan
- Keeping model traffic inside your own infrastructure, with self-hosted deployment via Docker, Helm charts or Terraform, including air-gapped
- Resilient routing, with built-in retry and fallback logic in the SDK Router and load balancing across providers and regions
- Trying enterprise features before buying: a 30-day self-hosted Enterprise trial key is emailed with no sales call and no credit card
Nicht geeignet für
- Deployments left on defaults: Wiz says the master key is still set by default to sk-1234 on Docker compose and pip installs, and nearly 1 in 10 of 3,074 publicly exposed deployments it scanned in February 2026 accepted a default master key or required no authentication
- Unpinned pip installs: compromised PyPI releases 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 were live on March 24, 2026, and LiteLLM told affected users to rotate all secrets
- Auto-pulling the newest release: v1.107.0 was malware on October 21, 2026, live on PyPI for about two hours and on the latest and main-latest Docker tags until 14:20 UTC; pin a reviewed version, delay upgrades and rotate every secret if you pulled it
- Internet-facing proxies nobody keeps patched: per Wiz, CVE-2026-59822, an MCP authentication bypass fixed in v1.84.0, has been exploited in the wild and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CVE-2026-59821, a post-auth RCE through custom code guardrails, was fixed in v1.82.0
- Proxies with untrusted internal users on unpatched builds: GHSA-7hp6-4w63-5g45 (CVSS 9.9, published September 30, 2026) lets an authenticated internal user forge a proxy admin token and reach the MCP stdio endpoint; upgrade to 1.100.4, 1.101.3, 1.102.2, 1.103.1 or 1.104.0rc2
- Enterprise-licensed proxies on builds older than 1.103.10, 1.104.8, 1.105.6 or 1.106.5: GHSA-w4c7-34wj-hqm8 (CVSS 10.0, published October 27, 2026) lets unauthenticated requests read local files and leak the master key
- Buyers who need published enterprise pricing, since LiteLLM Enterprise is priced through sales

Workflow-Rezepte
Stand up a hardened proxy
Run the LiteLLM gateway without inheriting the defaults Wiz flagged
- Install the proxy with uv tool install 'litellm[proxy]'
- Replace the example sk-1234 master key with a strong, unique key
- Start it against a model with litellm --model gpt-4o
- Review configured guardrails for unexpected entries and restart the process to clear memory
- Audit pass-through endpoints, restrict container network egress and apply least-privilege IAM roles to the service
