CVSS 8.7 EPSS 83% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 22 June 2026

What it is

BerriAI LiteLLM contains a command injection vulnerability that could allow any authenticated user, including holders of low-privilege internal-user keys, to run arbitrary commands on the host.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 83%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2026-06-22) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
