CWE-1392: Hardcoded database password in docker-compose

Severity: HIGH (CVSS 8.1)

Location: docker-compose.yml

Hardcoded DB credentials:

POSTGRES_USER: llmproxy
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: dbpassword9090
DATABASE_URL: postgresql://llmproxy:dbpassword9090@db:5432/litellm

Port 5432 exposed to host. LiteLLM stores ALL LLM provider API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, etc.) in this database. With default creds, anyone on the network can extract all API keys.

Remediation

Remove hardcoded password. Use ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD} env var. Add warning.
