🚀 Supply Chain Attack Targets Popular npm Package Axios

A significant supply chain attack has targeted the npm package axios, according to Foresight News. The latest version, axios@1.14.1, has been compromised with a malicious package, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, which was previously nonexistent. This package has been confirmed as malware by Socket AI's analysis. Axios, which has a weekly download rate exceeding 100 million, poses a potential risk to all projects that have updated to the latest version.

Feross, the founder of Socket AI, advises all axios users to immediately lock their current version and review their lock files, avoiding any upgrades to the latest version.

🚀 Axios Library Compromised by Malicious Attack

An attacker has compromised the npm access token of the lead maintainer of Axios, a popular JavaScript HTTP client library, and used it to release two malicious versions containing cross-platform remote access trojans (RATs). According to ChainCatcher, these versions, axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.3.4, targeted macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. The malicious packages were removed from the npm registry approximately three hours after their release.

Data from security company Wiz indicates that Axios is downloaded over 100 million times weekly and is present in about 80% of cloud and code environments. Security firm Huntress detected the first infections just 89 seconds after the malicious packages went live and confirmed that at least 135 systems were compromised during the exposure period. Notably, the Axios project had implemented modern security measures such as the OIDC trusted publishing mechanism and SLSA provenance proofs. However, the attacker bypassed these defenses entirely.

The investigation revealed that while configuring OIDC, the project retained the traditional long-lived NPM_TOKEN. When both tokens coexist, npm defaults to using the traditional token, allowing the attacker to publish without breaching OIDC.

🚀 AI TRENDS | OpenAI Addresses Security Issue Involving Axios Developer Library

OpenAI has identified a security issue related to the third-party developer library Axios, which is part of a broader industry event. According to Jin10, the company stated that there is no evidence of OpenAI user data being accessed, system breaches, or software tampering. As a precautionary measure, OpenAI is taking steps to secure the authentication process for its macOS application to ensure it is recognized as a legitimate OpenAI app. The company is updating its security certification, requiring all macOS users to update their OpenAI applications to the latest version. OpenAI believes this will help mitigate any risks, however small, of distributing counterfeit applications posing as OpenAI.
