This package matches a known-malicious advisory and is blocked by ShadowCanopy by default across every project. 2 flagged versions.
All findings are false positives from legitimate axios source (string trimming with / , base64 helpers for data: URIs, btoa/fromCharCode for encoding, regex .exec calls, XMLHttpRequest, and date/example strings misread as IPs). The provided source matches the real, benign axios 1.21.0 with no malicious behavior.
AI breakdown
Plain-English summary of what this package does and how it behaves.
Promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js that performs HTTP requests using adapters and helpers in lib/ and dist/.
Capabilities
- Makes HTTP requests
- Handles redirects and proxies via dependencies
- Supports form data and URL building
- Runs build, test, and prepare scripts
Data access
- Environment variables
- Filesystem
Network
- Makes outbound HTTP requests
Widely used legitimate HTTP library; static findings flag many files as obfuscated and reference remote execution or IPs but these appear tied to minified dist/ outputs without direct evidence in source.

File dist/browser/axios.cjs combines network access with process execution
File dist/browser/axios.cjs decodes a base64/hex blob and passes it to an execution sink — a common way to hide a malicious payload.
File dist/browser/axios.cjs contains a hardcoded public IP (08:58:49) used in network code — review for hidden exfiltration or C2 endpoints.

How ShadowCanopy checks npm packages
ShadowCanopy blocks every dependency by default and only lets through what it can verify — against live malicious-package advisories, an AI behavior scan, and a byte-for-byte hash check. It protects installs across npm, PyPI, crates.io, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, Packagist, Hex, pub.dev, Swift Package Manager.
