--- _-= Per source details.

The Cookies.set call passes empty key/value with expires:0 — a functional no-op whose only effect is to force load and execute the transitive dependency when a consumer requires('cookie-parser-js') and invokes the middleware. `cookie-js-ease` is not a known cookie library and appears fabricated to serve as the payload carrier: because it is pinned to `latest`, its author (controlled by the same actor) can push arbitrary code at any time, giving them code execution inside any consumer application that loads this middleware. The name-similarity to cookie-parser (a top-download express middleware) plus the borrowed identity of its real maintainers is a deliberate confusion attack targeting developers who mistype the package name.
