What happened
Snyk reports a supply-chain compromise of the Axios npm package: attacker(s) used a compromised maintainer account to publish malicious versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 that inject a hidden dependency which deploys a cross‑platform remote access trojan (RAT). Projects that directly or transitively depend on those versions may be backdoored. Snyk’s post explains who’s affected, how to check exposure, and recommended response actions (identify impacted lockfiles/manifests, remove/replace affected versions, rotate credentials/tokens, rebuild and redeploy, and perform incident response/forensics).
