## Overview

A vulnerability in BerriAI/litellm, as of commit 26c03c9, allows unauthenticated users to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by exploiting the use of ast.literal_eval to parse user input. This function is not safe and is prone to DoS attacks, which can crash the litellm Python server.

## Affected packages

- `litellm < 1.53.1.dev1`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `litellm 1.53.1.dev1`
