Notes: On its face this package.json looks like the legitimate esbuild package layout: it runs a local install.js during postinstall and defines many optional platform-specific packages. The main risk is that the uninspected install.js may perform arbitrary, privileged actions (download remote binaries, execute code, add hooks, exfiltrate data, etc.). You should audit the contents of install.js (and any code it downloads or executes) before trusting installation in sensitive environments. The package.json itself does not contain obvious malicious indicators (no http:// deps, no non-registry dependency URLs, no overrides), but the postinstall hook makes it potentially risky.
