Re:NPM Package Hijacking From the Hijacker's Perspective by dclowd9901 on Saturday March 26, 2016 @03:22AM (#11364775)
Scripts of dependencies don't run. Period. You'd have to fork someone else's repo and run npm install on that fork. If you're doing that, you ostensibly trust their code enough to inspect and work on it. If not, wtf are you doing?

If you run `npm install` on a project, you're simply installing its dependencies (and actually running any pre-publish hooks too, for some stupid reason).
