Is your LiteLLM exposed?

Proxy without a master key: model catalog open, upstream API budget burnable by strangers.

Why it matters

An open LiteLLM proxy exposes your model catalog and often lets strangers burn your upstream API budget through /v1/chat/completions.

How common is it?

7,336 LiteLLM instances are reachable in the Shodan index. Fingerprint match, not a verified zero-auth count · src: Shodan count · `http.html:"LiteLLM API - Swagger UI"` · 2026-08

Counts are population-level, from third-party indexes and my own honeypots. I never scan the internet and this page makes no claim about any specific host.
