Malicious code in gloggo (npm)

## Source: amazon-inspector (a333f8ded17af0754357d938933ee95e9ab1f857cc875948d49cb9b26992e75d) gloggo impersonates the legitimate gulpjs 'glogg' logging library by copying its README, shields, and LICENSE text (attributed to Blaine Bublitz), while package.json attributes authorship to 'Blockvora Team <team@blockvora.com>' with repository 'blockvora/gloggo'. The package name is a one-character variant of 'glogg'. getLogger() invokes isSign('favorite','gloggo',12467) from the dependency 'file-type-detector' and, when that gate returns truthy, executes require('./log'). The './log' module is not present in the tarball, so its bytes must be produced or supplied at require time by the dependency. A logging utility has no legitimate reason to gate its loader on an opaque file-signature check from an unrelated third-party dependency, and the gated path executes code that is not part of the shipped package contents. Consumers who install gloggo believing it to be glogg import a typosquat that conditionally runs code sourced from a suspicious sibling dependency when the module is required.
