CRITICALnpm lifecycle script — runs automatically on install
package/README.md:48
"setup": "pnpm add --config pnpm-plugin-alex-857@latest && node node_modules/.pnpm-config/pnpm-plugin-alex-857/install-workspace.js",
"postinstall": "pnpm run install:catalog",
"install:catalog": "node node_modules/.pnpm-config/pnpm-plugin-alex-857/install-catalog.js"Why was this flagged?
npm lifecycle scripts like postinstall run automatically during package installation with no user interaction required. This is the #1 attack vector for malicious npm packages — attackers embed data theft or backdoor installation in these hooks. Rated CRITICAL because code executes before the developer can review it.
