🧨 Axios only needed to be resolved somewhere in your dependency graph to affect you.

Semver + transitive deps + runtime installs = hidden blast radius.

If you only checked your project’s lockfile, you may still not know.

The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise - Socket

The Axios compromise shows how time-dependent dependency resolution makes exposure harder to detect and contain.

🥳 New JavaScript Database (JSDB) release

• Fix: Now properly handling array indices on `JSTable.PERSIST` events in the `keypath` property that’s passed to the event handler.

Just noticed that the pretty keypaths of the JavaScript deltas written to the append-only log were ignoring array indices while playing with a new database introspection call I’m adding to the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL) and fixed it.

I’ll be updating Kitten shortly to use this version of JSDB and I haven’t forgotten my promise to record a little video of the new Kitten Introspection API.

Enjoy!

axios Compromised on npm - Malicious Versions Drop Remote Access Trojan - StepSecurity

Hijacked maintainer account used to publish poisoned axios releases including 1.14.1 and 0.30.4. The attacker injected a hidden dependency that drops a cross platform RAT. We are actively investigating and will update this post with a full technical analysis.

@andrewnez I'd really like to hear your thoughts on #npm in general. Was it really a terrible idea to let a private company run it? Shouldn't it have been bundled into #Nodejs? Would npm have just disappeared if someone like Bogensberger hadn't carved it up and sold it to GitHub/Microsoft? Fair play to Microsoft for footing the hosting bill, but look at the commit history. They're basically leaving it out to dry. Where to go from here? OpenJS? How does it all compare to other package registries?

Why do people use Axios instead of the native Fetch API in 2026?
