Mini Shai-Hulud npm reminder

Original post on X

Mini Shai-Hulud / npm reminder:

You may not have run npm install yourself and still have tooling pulling packages via npx, npm exec, or MCP servers.

Most useful check I found:
$ grep -R -E "verbose title|verbose argv|http fetch|tarball|postinstall|run-script" ~/.npm/\_logs

Mine exposed repeated npm exec @browsermcp/mcp@latest calls.

Worth auditing anything dynamically executing @ latest right now.
