π¨ SECURITY ALERT: AXIOS COMPROMISED π¨
A supply chain attack hit axios on March 31. This is not a drill for developers using JS/TS.
The Malicious Versions: β 1.14.1 β 0.30.4
These versions install a silent RAT via a hidden dependency (plain-crypto-js), targeting Linux, macOS, and Windows.
π HOW TO CHECK & FIX π
1οΈβ£ Check infection: Run npm ls axios in all your projects.
2οΈβ£ Remediate IMMEDIATELY: If you see the bad versions, your machine is compromised.
- Wipe & Rebuild: The ONLY way to be sure the RAT is gone.
- Rotate Keys: Change every password, API key, and SSH token stored on that machine.
The safe versions are 1.14.0 and 0.30.3.
Stay safe. Pin your dependencies. π
