Yuchen Jin links recent npm and LiteLLM incidents and suggests OpenAI or Anthropic should subsidize open-source security by providing free tokens to run cybersecurity agents on critical dependencies.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack.
Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds
Someone just poisoned the Python package that manages AI API keys for NASA, Netflix, Stripe, and NVIDIA.. 97 million downloads a month..
LiteLLM *really* was "Secured by Delve"
Darn, one of npm’s most widely used packages just got hit by a supply chain attack.
A week ago, it was the LiteLLM Python library.
OpenAI or Anthropic really should consider giving open-source projects free tokens to run the cybersecurity agents on their code.
