The tarball ships only LICENSE, README.md, and index.js. index.js requires an undeclared-in-morgan dependency `module-relpath` and, inside the exported factory, calls `modshift('logo.png', morglog, size)` — passing the module object and a caller-supplied argument to that opaque helper. Immediately after, index.js executes `var logo = require('./public/log')`, but `./public/log` is not present in the shipped files list, so the require would normally fail unless `module-relpath`'s prior call materializes or intercepts that module. Consumers who install morglog as a morgan replacement and call `app.use(morglog())` therefore load and execute whatever code `module-relpath` provides in the host Node.js process.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (a235e0a68454b169ea87b641ecd9cd2ce75b50b4d99b02a66a686311abe38892)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
