CVE-2024-9606 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In berriai/litellm before version 1.44.12, the `litellm/litellm_core_utils/litellm_logging.py` file contains a vulnerability where the API key masking code only masks the first 5 characters of the key. This results in the leakage of almost the entire API key in the logs, exposing a significant amount of the secret key. EPSS estimates a 0.71% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
