Postinstall scripts are deadly. Everyone should be using pnpm.

Crazy that an "orphan" commit pushed to a FORK(!) could trigger this (in npm clients). IMO GitHub deserves much of the blame here. A malicious fork's commits are reachable via GitHub's shared object storage at a URI indistinguishable from the legit repo. That is absolutely bonkers.
