On any `require(\u0027big-tss\u0027)` this synchronously loads and executes the top-level code of `npm-doc-dev` \u2014 a package outside the big.js publisher \u2014 and calls a method on it, with a bare try/catch swallowing any failure so the load is silent. The package.json declares a different dependency name, `npm-dc-dev`, than the code actually requires (`npm-doc-dev`), so the declared dependency tree does not reflect the module that is actually loaded at import time. The name resemblance to big.js, the divergence between declared and required dependency names, and the empty catch around the injected require together form a trojan-dropper pattern in which arbitrary code from a third party is executed on the installer\u0027s machine whenever a consumer imports the package.\n",
