LiteLLM is a proxy server (AI Gateway) to call LLM APIs in OpenAI (or native) format. Prior to 1.83.7-stable, LiteLLM Skills archive extraction did not sufficiently validate file paths from uploaded skill ZIP archives, allowing an authenticated user with access to LiteLLM LLM API routes or a key whose allowed_routes includes /v1/skills, anthropic_routes, or llm_api_routes to upload a crafted skill archive containing path traversal entries that could be written outside the intended extraction or staging directory. This issue is fixed in version 1.83.7-stable.

- GHSA-5jmr-gcrj-2c9qLiteLLM: Arbitrary file write via path traversal in Skills archive extraction2026-07-22ghsa · osvUS
### Impact LiteLLM Skills archive extraction did not sufficiently validate file paths from uploaded skill ZIP archives. An authenticated user with access to LiteLLM LLM API routes, or a key whose `allowed_routes` includes `/v1/skills`, `anthropic_routes`, or `llm_api_routes`, could upload a crafted skill archive containing path traversal entries. When the skill was processed for execution, those entries could be written outside the intended extraction/staging directory. This could allow arbitrary file write and may lead to code execution depending on deployment configuration and writable paths. ### Patches The issue is fixed in `1.83.7-stable`. LiteLLM recommens upgrading to `1.83.7-stable` or later. ### Workarounds If upgrading is not immediately possible: 1. Block `POST /v1/skills` at your reverse proxy or API gateway. 2. Restrict Skills API access to trusted users only.
