Summary

Hide ▲

The Axios npm package was compromised after maintainer Jason Saayman's npm account was taken over, and malicious versions were published to the registry. The release created a supply-chain risk for a package with 100M+ weekly downloads and potential downstream impact across Linux, Windows, and macOS environments. The malicious update path used an install-time dependency and post-install script to fetch payloads from a C2 server and deploy a remote access trojan. Users were advised to pin to the last known clean releases, [email protected] and [email protected].

    GTIG attributes Axios compromise to UNC1069

    Attribution Update

    Google Threat Intelligence Group attributed the Axios npm supply-chain compromise to UNC1069, citing the use of WAVESHAPER.V2 and describing the actor as financially motivated and North Korea-nexus. GTIG also warned that malicious axios releases v1.14.1 and v0.30.4, delivered through Jason Saayman’s compromised account and plain-crypto-js, could have a broad blast radius across dependent packages and developer environments.
