node-postgres (pg)
npmpgnode-postgres (`pg`) is the low-level PostgreSQL client for Node.js, used directly or as the underlying transport for higher-level ORMs (Prisma, TypeORM, Drizzle). It handles connection pooling, TLS, and query execution against PostgreSQL. The connection config holds the database password in plain text during connection setup.

}Why this package is monitored
Low-level database drivers parse and transmit plaintext credentials during connection establishment. A compromised driver can log connection credentials before the TLS handshake or intercept unencrypted query results on connections without `sslmode=verify-full`.
