smart-config-manager
Advanced tools
This postinstall hook will execute the package's main code at install time. That behavior is potentially risky because it allows arbitrary actions (network requests, file modification, child processes) during installation. No explicit insecure dependency URL patterns or overrides are present, but the package's stated functionality (remote sync) and the fact that install-time code runs means you should treat this as a moderate-to-high security risk until index.js and its dependencies (especially cloud-config-fetcher and local-config-parser) are audited. Recommend reviewing the installed code, running installations in a sandbox/isolated environment, and avoiding installing as a privileged user.
This package contained malicious code and was removed from the registry by the npm security team. A placeholder was published to ensure users are not affected in the future.
