GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3
MEDIUMGHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5) CWE-266 vulnerability in litellm. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
LiteLLM: M2M JWT Handler Has Improper Authorization
Real-World Exposure
litellmReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
A vulnerability was identified in BerriAI litellm up to 1.82.2. This affects an unknown function of the file litellm/proxy/auth/user_api_key_auth.py of the component M2M JWT Handler. Such manipulation leads to improper authorization. The attack can be launched remotely. A high complexity level is associated with this attack. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for litellm. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of litellm has shipped for GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qmf3-4767-5fg3 across PyPI dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
