What happened
Snyk blog roundup (Apr 2026) covering AI security, container image management, and a high-impact supply‑chain incident: a compromised maintainer account published malicious Axios npm releases (1.14.1 and 0.30.4) that add a hidden dependency which deploys a cross‑platform remote access trojan (RAT). Snyk’s posts also discuss AI governance (discovery → control), mapping AI blast radius after the LiteLLM compromise, and a Container Registry Sync GA for automated image management. The Axios compromise is a widespread supply‑chain malware incident; Snyk provides detection and remediation guidance.
