The Node packages especially are able to run scripts on install. Personal preference aside, might also create issues with security laws, certifications. All without user consent. Issues opened in January and June 2024. They've been rejected, closed, and opened a couple times since then. No changes directly improving this yet as of April 2026. Personally, I think even if they eventually fix this, given the attitude shown towards their users' machines, I should probably just use an editor where I don't have to worry about it.
