CRITICALnpm lifecycle script — runs automatically on install
repo/apps/docs/package.json:12
"types:check": "fumadocs-mdx && next typegen && tsc --noEmit",
"postinstall": "fumadocs-mdx"
},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.
