create-react-app has thousands of transient dependencies, being worked on by maybe 40000 developers (possibly more), 1 in 100 people is a sociopath, and 1 in 100 is a psychopath, and looking at the general population around 1 in 100 is a criminal. There is selection bias in the open source community, but still, we can assume when you do `create-react-app` you are going to run the code of ~50 people that don't have your best intentions at heart.
Supply chain attacks are one of the best attack vectors.
So vet your dependencies and assume them malicious.
