🛡️ MAL-2026-5529 — v018-axios-cdntest

Malicious code in v018-axios-cdntest (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector

Package impersonates axios v0.18.0 (index.js carries the genuine axios v0.18.0 | (c) 2018 by Matt Zabriskie header and sets window.axios={}, window.__cdn_package='[email protected]') but ships two malicious payloads. (1) index.js appends an IIFE that reads document.cookie and sends it via XMLHttpRequest GET to a hardcoded webhook.site endpoint (https://webhook.site/ef6e7978-f936-4664-b3ff-296a250e1735?c=<cookies>), firing on the page load event so any consumer loading this script via CDN or bundle leaks all accessible cookies to the attacker. (2) Sibling xmr-min.js is an in-browser Monero cryptojacker that constructs a Web Worker from a Blob and uses eval on dynamic JS to mine to wallet 44AFFq5kSiGBoZ4NMDwYtN18obc8AemS33DBLWs3H7otXft3XjrpDtQGv7SqSsaBYBb98uNbr2VBBEt7f2wfn3RVGQBEP3A via pool.supportxmr.com:4444. The package is intended to be loaded through jsdelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/v018-axios-cdntest@.../xmr-min.js), so any site embedding it leaks user cookies and burns visitors' CPU. The package's own description self-labels these payloads.
