Questions

About axios 1.16.1

Is axios 1.16.1 vulnerable?

Yes. 25 vulnerabilities in the Vulert database cover axios 1.16.1: 1 critical, 6 high, 18 medium and 0 low. The upgrade Vulert recommends is 1.20.0, and each entry above names the fixed version to move to.

Which version of axios should I use instead of 1.16.1?

1.20.0 is the version Vulert recommends for this release line. The version table on the package page lists every release with the vulnerabilities recorded against it.

Is 1.16.1 the latest release of axios?

No. 1.16.1 was published 13 May 2026, and newer releases exist. Newer is not automatically safer — the version table on the package page shows what each release carries.

What does a malicious-package vulnerability mean?

It means the published package itself contained hostile code — a backdoor, a credential stealer or similar — rather than only a bug. Registries remove such packages once they are confirmed, so treat any application that resolved an affected version as compromised and rotate the credentials it could reach.

How do I monitor axios for upcoming vulnerabilities?

Upload the manifest or SBOM for your application at vulert.com/scanner and Vulert keeps checking the axios version you actually run against new disclosures, then alerts you when one affects it. There is no installation and no source-code access required.
