The nodemon-delog npm package impersonates the legitimate nodemon package by copying its source code, metadata, and author information. It declares two runtime dependencies, type-atob and chai, which are not used or referenced by its code but are installed when nodemon-delog is installed. This behavior forces these dependencies into the installer's dependency tree, potentially executing their install or require-time code. The package itself contains no direct exfiltration or remote code execution code, but the dependency-smuggling pattern poses a supply chain risk.
