    They have taken action as of very recently. The latest version [1] of npm warns when there are install scripts and tells you they will be disabled by default in a future version, with a per-dependency opt in mechanism [2].

    For anyone wondering, you need to be on npm >= 11.10.0 in order to use it. It just became available Feb 11 2026

  • Show HN: Safe-NPM – safely install well baked NPM packages
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Nov 2025
    I recently learned that this is a feature in npm as well: the `--before` flag to `npm install`. It was harder than it should've been to figure that out; it really needs to be better marketed.

    Related to that is the proposal for `stabilityDays`, which seems way more practical: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/8570#issuecomment-33004136.... So instead of saying "I only want package versions more than N days old", you'd be saying that "...and also they should have gone at least N days without a subsequent patch release". e.g. if mylib@6.0.0 is released, only to be quickly followed by v6.0.1 and v6.0.2, you ideally wouldn't want to risk installing the probably-broken 6.0.0 or 6.0.1 based on luck of the draw; the better behavior would be to install the previous 5.x release until 6.0.2 has aged past the threshold.
