Install scripts are run when the package is installed. The majority of malware in npm is hidden in install scripts.
Packages should not be running non-essential scripts during install and there are often solutions to problems people solve with install scripts that can be run at publish time instead.
What is network access?
This module accesses the network.
Packages should remove all network access that isn't functionally unnecessary. Consumers should audit network access to ensure legitimate use.
