I first tried to read this book in 2018 and couldn't make it through because I thought it was too hard.
8 years later it's the only book I recommend every developer reads, and I had the chance to review the 2nd edition.
Join a study group, give it a read.
🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.
The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.
This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.
Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:
• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence
If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.
‼️Do not npm install or deploy anything right now
Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.
Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
