This vulnerability was reported to NPM in 2016: https://blog.npmjs.org/post/141702881055/package-install-scr... https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/319816 but the NPM response was WAI.

Acronym expansion for those-not-in-the-know (such as me before a web search): WAI might mean "working as intented", or possibly "why?"
