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.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (61e705f5c04c01f4d11eab78c795823a33d8f69d1d33848100d092efc03d0662)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer.
