CRITICAL

npm lifecycle script — runs automatically on install

repo/package.json:20

    "clean": "rimraf build",
    "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.mjs",
    "prepublishOnly": "npm run build"

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.
