Description

The npm package '@qwedqwed/axios' is a malicious typosquatting package impersonating the legitimate 'axios' library by copying its metadata and source files. While the package's own code is benign, it declares dependencies on two suspicious packages that are silently installed and introduce malicious code. Installing this package can lead to full system compromise, requiring immediate secret and key rotation and removal of the package.
