🚨 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.

Love this new era where you don’t need to hack systems anymore you just email them nicely with some prompt injection. Can't wait for my Optimus robot to finish folding the laundry, read a dodgy email, and politely mail my wallet off to a hacker.

@NetworkChuck @openclaw OpenClaw? I guess we will have a new name soon enough when OpenAI decides its too close to their name 🤣

@ybhrdwj There has been little mention of a business model that sells lifetime access. That was always going to hit a ceiling.
