Beschreibung

Was dies ist, in Kürze.

Detects process executions related to the backdoored versions of LiteLLM (v1.82.7 or v1.82.8). In March 2026, a supply chain attack was discovered involving the popular open-source LLM framework LiteLLM by Threat Actor TeamPCP. The malicious package harvests every credential on the system, encrypts and exfiltrates them, and installs a persistent C2 backdoor.
