What caused the LiteLLM supply chain attack?

TeamPCP compromised Trivy, stole LiteLLM's PyPI token, pushed backdoored 1.82.7/1.82.8. Harvested creds via .pth on import.

How do AI governance audit trails prevent breaches like Mercor?

They log every agent action at infra level—LLM calls, tools, creds—queryable for scoping exposure, independent of tampered app logs.

Pin to safe versions, add vuln scans, but layer on audit trails. It's core infra—fix the stack around it.
