Advanced tools
The postinstall hook will execute the package's main module at install time, which is a high-risk behavior because it grants the package an opportunity to run arbitrary code on the host during installation. There are no explicit insecure HTTP URLs or non-registry dependency sources in this package.json, but the install-time execution combined with a permissive dependency version (*) increases the attack surface. Inspect index.js and all required modules (including dependencies) before installing or run the installation in a restricted/sandboxed environment.
