Supply Chain Attack on Axios Pulls Malicious Dependency from npm
A supply chain attack on Axios introduced a malicious dependency, plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, published minutes earlier and absent from the project’s GitHub releases.
This library is made for big integer operations in JavaScript, such as add, subtract, multiply, divide, mod, compare, etc.
The principle of this library is to simulate pen and paper operation, you can operate integers as big as your RAM allowed.
npm install --save big-int
