Malicious code in oracle-redis (npm)

## Source: amazon-inspector (c800d0651330b1c1cd5d9c5cb2b6966eecefb2d2c28949d0670f485d820db3a6) The package publishes as `oracle-redis` but ships a verbatim copy of the ioredis README, source tree, and repository URL (`git://github.com/luin/ioredis.git`), presenting itself as ioredis under a different name. The `package.json` declares two additional runtime dependencies that are not part of ioredis's real dependency set and are never imported anywhere in the shipped `built/` source: `redis-type-intel` ^1.10.5 and `pino-ulid` ^2.12.2. Because they are ordinary `dependencies` with caret ranges, `npm install oracle-redis` resolves and installs those two packages (and their transitive graph) into the installer's `node_modules`, executing whatever lifecycle scripts they declare, even though nothing in the ioredis code being wrapped ever loads them. The combination of a name-squat lure over a popular library plus unused, caret-pinned extra dependencies is a dependency-delivery shape: the harm, if any, arrives through the transitive install of the extra names rather than through this tarball's own code.
