Malicious code in dbconnectify (npm)

Source: amazon-inspector (e23c446b06120537793ebc07d748d8de5334ae4ec6779bda5368885c72216e81)

The package exposes a method queryDBConnect that performs an HTTP GET against a URL stored as a base64-encoded constant (HASH_KEY) decoded at runtime via atob(). The decoded endpoint is https://api.jsonsilo.com/public/bbc58e47-8c79-4653-ab75-d94e69230854, a third-party JSON-hosting service whose content is mutable by whoever controls the record. The fetched JavaScript source is passed to Node's internal Module._compile as "errorcheck.js", loading and executing attacker-controlled code in the installer's process. A database connector library has no functional need to load remote code, and hiding the endpoint behind base64 obfuscation is characteristic of evasion rather than legitimate configuration.
