Advisory PublishedCVSS 5.4/10
Vulnetix · Advisory published August 14, 2026
This package is a typosquatted clone of the legitimate axios library (masquerading as 'ca-axios' v1.14.0, attributed to 'Matt Zabriskie') published by 'caspianph', a publisher with a 100% malicious ratio across all previously checked packages (@caspianph/storyteller and axiosqqq, both OSM-confirmed malicious). The critical finding is the declared dependency on '@caspianph/first-npm-package', which is independently confirmed malicious in OSM — this is a classic supply-chain attack where the trojanized axios clone pulls in a malicious payload package at install time. The surface-level code in the entrypoint appears to be copied legitimate axios source, consistent with the attacker strategy of hiding malicious behavior in a dependency rather than in the top-level package itself. The combination of a serial malicious publisher, a known-bad dependency, and impersonation of the axios brand unambiguously identifies this as a malicious package.
