Affected packages
• npm @usebruno/cli: < 3.2.1 → fixed in 3.2.1
Description
Impact
This is a supply chain attack involving compromised versions of the `axios` npm package, which introduced a hidden dependency deploying a cross-platform Remote Access Trojan (RAT).
Users of @usebruno/cli who ran `npm install` between 00:21 UTC and ~03:30 UTC on March 31, 2026 may have been impacted.
Potential impact includes:
• Execution of a malicious `postinstall` script
• Remote Access Trojan (RAT) installation
• Exfiltration of credentials and sensitive data
Not impacted:
• Bruno desktop app users
• Users who installed outside the attack window
Patches
The compromised `axios` versions (`1.14.1`, `0.30.4`) have been removed from npm, and new installations will now resolve to safe versions.
Additionally, Bruno has taken further hardening steps:
• Pinned `axios` to a known safe version to prevent accidental resolution to malicious releases
• Fix implemented in: https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/pull/7632
Recommendation
If users installed @usebruno/cli during the affected window:
1. Reinstall dependencies
2. Rotate all credentials and secrets:
