Detects global installation of packages which affects the host system
npm install -g nReplace npm install -g with a local install (npm install --save-dev) or use npx with a pinned version. Global installs modify the system and risk supply chain attacks.
Likely FP if the global install is for a well-known CLI tool (e.g., typescript, eslint) in setup documentation, though the supply chain risk remains real.
Detects npx with -y flag that bypasses user confirmation for package installation
npx -y Replace npx -y with an explicit npm install step that pins the package to a specific version, then run it. Remove the -y flag to require user confirmation.
Likely FP if the npx command runs a well-known, trusted tool (e.g., create-react-app) in documentation context with no version pinning concern.
