🚨 Another major supply chain incident 🚨
axios — one of the most widely used npm packages — has been compromised. Malicious versions axios
@1.14.1 and axios
@0.30.4 were published and are actively dropping malware.
The attack pulls in a newly created dependency plain-crypto-js
@4.2.1, confirmed as a malicious loader: it executes obfuscated payloads, runs shell commands, and attempts to evade detection while wiping traces.
With 100M+ weekly downloads, this is a live, large-scale supply chain attack.
