Specifically, when the server utilizes Google KMS, untrusted data is passed to the `eval` function without any sanitization. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious values into environment variables through the `/config/update` endpoint, which allows for the update of settings in `proxy_server_config.yaml`.\n\n## Affected packages\n\n- `litellm <= 1.28.11`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the advisory for the patched release.","depth":"twilight","depthScore":40,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":39.6,"likelihood":0.2,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
