Securing the Supply Chain: How SentinelOne®'s AI EDR Stops the Axios Attack Autonomously

Incident Response Plan: Axios Supply Chain Attack

Overview:

A sophisticated supply chain attack targeting the popular axios package has been detected. The attackers have compromised the package to inject a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that can exfiltrate sensitive data and credentials from affected systems.

Objectives:

• Identify and contain the infection.
• Eradicate the threat from all affected systems.
• Prevent further spread of the malicious code.
• Restore normal operations with minimal downtime.

Step-by-Step Incident Response Plan:

1. Initial Detection and Notification

• Detection: SentinelOne alerts indicate potential RAT activity originating from compromised axios installations.
• Notification: Notify all stakeholders, including IT Security Team, CISO, and relevant business units.

2. Containment

• Isolate Affected Systems:
  • Isolate infected systems from the network to prevent lateral movement.
  • Use SentinelOne's containment features to quarantine affected endpoints.
• Stop Further Infections:
  • Block access to known malicious domains and IPs (e.g., sfrclak[.]com, `142.11.206[.]73
