Nearly 1 in 10 Exposed LiteLLM Gateways Accepted the Example "sk-1234" Admin Key

Wiz Research found that roughly 10 percent of exposed LiteLLM servers discovered in February were using the default example admin key "sk-1234" from the product's documentation. LiteLLM is an open-source gateway that sits between applications and artificial intelligence (AI) model providers, and the admin key grants full access to all traffic and credentials flowing through it.

Why it matters: Organizations running LiteLLM gateways risk exposing AI application traffic, application programming interface (API) keys, and user data if they fail to replace default credentials before internet deployment; practitioners should audit their gateway configurations immediately.
