What happened
Snyk reports a supply‑chain attack where malicious versions of the Axios npm package (1.14.1 and 0.30.4) were published via a compromised maintainer account. The trojanized packages introduce a hidden dependency that deploys a cross‑platform remote access trojan (RAT). Projects that directly or transitively install these versions may be compromised; Snyk provides guidance to identify exposure and remediate (remove/replace affected versions, audit dependencies, rotate credentials, and investigate possible backdoors).
