A security alert has been issued regarding malicious versions of the Axios library, specifically versions 1.14.1 and 0.30.4, which have been compromised. Users are advised to check their projects for these versions using the command `npm list axios` and inspect `package-lock.json` for any references to these versions. Additionally, the presence of the malicious module `plain-crypto-js` should be checked in the `node_modules` directory. If the setup script has already executed, the `package.json` within the `plain-crypto-js` directory may have been replaced, indicating potential compromise. Users should also check for Remote Access Trojan (RAT) artifacts on affected systems, including specific directories on macOS, Linux, and Windows, to determine if they have been compromised.
