> Python Supply-Chain Compromise

[SOURCE] Schneier on Security [AUTHOR: Bruce Schneier] [DATE: 08/04/2026 10:25] [LANGUAGE: EN]
This is news: A malicious supply chain compromise has been identified in the Python Package Index package litellm version 1.82.8. The published wheel contains a malicious .pth file (litellm_init.pth, 34,628 bytes) which is automatically executed by the Python interpreter on every startup, without requiring any explicit import of the litellm module. There are a lot of really boring things we need to do to help secure all of these critical libraries: SBOMs, SLSA, SigStore. But we have to do them.
