Is LiteLLM safe? LiteLLM scores 77.0/100 (Grade B), ranked #50 of 328 tracked open-source AI agent projects, on evidence coverage A (4 of 5 independent signal types). The public evidence: no package-provenance attestation found; OSSF Scorecard rates its supply-chain practices 6.1/10; 60% of recent commits are signed; last pushed 2026-07-11. Every point is earned from checkable signals — never paid placement. How scoring works →

How to read this: HVTrust (0–100) weighs supply-chain signals (provenance, OSSF Scorecard, signed commits, open license) alongside real-world adoption. Grade B reflects the trust score band: A ≥ 80, B ≥ 65, C ≥ 50, D < 50. Evidence coverage A is separate — it grades how many independent signal types back the score (4 of 5), so a high score on thin evidence stays visible. Full methodology →

Is LiteLLM safe?

Public supply-chain signals for LiteLLM are strong: it has multiple independent trust indicators in place. This does not replace your own security review, but LiteLLM carries less obvious unverified-evidence risk than projects with thin signals.
Does LiteLLM publish package provenance?
No published build provenance is currently detected for LiteLLM. This is common for open-source projects but means consumers cannot independently verify that the package on the registry matches the GitHub source.
Does LiteLLM have an OpenSSF Scorecard?
LiteLLM has an OpenSSF Scorecard score of 6.1/10. The Scorecard checks for branch protection, signed releases, dependency updates, fuzzing, code review, and other supply-chain hygiene items. See the full check breakdown on this page.
Is LiteLLM actively maintained?
Actively maintained. The repository was pushed to within the last 1 day(s).
What license does LiteLLM use?
LiteLLM ships under NOASSERTION. A declared, OSI-approved license is one of the transparency signals HVTrust scores.
Are LiteLLM's commits signed?
60% of the last 100 commits to LiteLLM are verified-signed (GPG, SSH, S/MIME, or GitHub's signing flow). Signed commits help confirm that code was authored by who the commit claims.

Not a safety endorsement. HVTracker describes what public signals show, not whether a project is safe for your use case. Run your own security review before adopting in production.

Maintain LiteLLM?

HVTrust scores LiteLLM from public signals only — we never contact maintainers first. If a signal is wrong, stale, or missing (provenance you publish, a Scorecard you run, signed releases), tell us and we'll review it. Corrections are public and tracked on GitHub.
