If you installed or updated Claude Code via npm on March 31, 2026, between 00:21 and 03:29 UTC, you may have inadvertently pulled in a malicious version of axios (1.14.1 or 0.30.4) that contains a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). You should immediately search your project lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, or bun.lockb) for these specific versions or the dependency plain-crypto-js. If found, treat the host machine as fully compromised, rotate all secrets, and perform a clean OS reinstallation.

This is because if an unrelated hack on npmโ€™s latest build. Anyone with this version of npm is affected

This just keeps happening with npm, from the news I've read. Almost like npm devs are not qualified to maintain code.

That axios supply chain attack was a bitch. There were extensions compromised from that shit.

Its bad advise too, because the malware removed itself from those files to removed traces of itself
