// 01Executive summary

On March 31, 2026, the npm package Axios was compromised via a maintainer account hijack, leading to the publication of malicious versions (1.14.1 and 0.30.4) injecting a cross-platform Remote Access Trojan (RAT). This RAT is capable of fully compromising Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Immediate action is required to identify and remove these compromised Axios versions and the malicious dependency plain-crypto-js@4.2.1 from all environments. Block the C2 server sfrclak.com:8000 (142.11.206.73) at network perimeters to prevent further compromise and data exfiltration. This incident is attributed with high confidence to BlueNoroff, a financially motivated subgroup of Lazarus Group, highlighting an urgent software supply chain threat.
