Should I reconsider my decision of self-hosting LLM Gateway?

The CVE-2026-35029 privilege escalation in LiteLLM is a reminder that middleware is not something you can install once and forget. What is your view on using self-hosted LLM gateway? I wrote this post - https://leanroute.dev/blog/self-hosting-an-llm-gateway Would like to hear your views.

Isn't this a general class of problem that has a similar risk profile for any type of gateway that accepts inputs that are not very tightly bounded?

Not only LLM services.

yes, but LiteLLM was exposed to a CVE. I switched to leanroute.dev

I'm running a gateway for my local LLMs, are you opening it to the internet? Who's going to craft a malicious payload?

was using LiteLLM for the company i work for. we were doing a poc.

But now we switched to leanroute.dev, we use our own provider keys. Gateway helps with the routing, caching, spend cap and monitoring usage.
