The Hidden Blast Radius of the Axios Compromise

The article explains why the Axios compromise had a larger blast radius than it first appeared. It reminds that projects that did not directly depend on Axios could be exposed if tools, CLIs, CI jobs, SDKs, or MCP packages resolved a vulnerable Axios version during the attack window.

This article is useful because supply chain security is a very hot topic right now, especially in the JavaScript ecosystem. And it is a good reminder that checking direct dependencies is not enough - teams also need to understand how dependencies are resolved across CI, CLIs, tooling, and agent/MCP workflows.
