SCA: security update for litellm (GHSA-qrc4-49gv-mv9m)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443866

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - LiteLLM prior to 1.83.14 allows an authenticated internal_user to create API keys with access to routes
 that their role does not permit. When generating a key, the allowed_routes field is stored without
 verifying that the specified routes fall within the user's own permissions. A key created with access to
 admin-only routes can then be used to reach those routes successfully, bypassing the role-based access
 controls that would otherwise block the request, enabling full privilege escalation from internal_user to
 proxy_admin. (CVE-2026-47101)

Solution

Update the litellm library and its related packages to version 1.83.14 or later.
