Synopsis

Axios 0.30.4 Malicious Version Detected

Description

According to its self-reported version number, Axios is 1.14.1 or 0.30.4. Therefore, it may be affected by an embedded malicious code vulnerability due to a supply chain compromise of the axios npm package. The malicious versions contain unauthorized code that may exfiltrate sensitive data from the host environment.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Downgrade to version 0.30.3 or upgrade to latest official version available. Conduct a thorough security review of the application to identify and mitigate any potential impacts of the malicious code.
