CVE-2024-6825

Remote Code Execution in BerriAI/litellm

Published Mar 20, 2025 CVSS 3.0 · 8.8 High EPSS 1.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
BerriAI/litellm version 1.40.12 contains a vulnerability that allows remote code execution. The issue exists in the handling of the 'post_call_rules' configuration, where a callback function can be added. The provided value is split at the final '.' mark, with the last part considered the function name and the remaining part appended with the '.py' extension and imported. This allows an attacker to set a system method, such as 'os.system', as a callback, enabling the execution of arbitrary commands when a chat response is processed.
