Actually, a main question is this: can npm modules read require.cache? If so, why? Can they require code outside of the npm modules folder. Again, why? Couldn't any npm module steal your credentials, and suffer from the same source minification/github custody stuff? Take an npm module. It does setInterval and every minute, it checks require.cache for any file with 'config' in it, and sends it to the crook. Is this possible currently? I would think npm modules should be require-sandboxed to their own directory. Even then, there is compiled code, etc. Oy vey.
