This is the recommended way to maintain that field. Dependency install scripts are blocked by default. Install commands silently skip lifecycle scripts for any dependency that does not have a matching entry in `allowScripts`, and end with a list of the packages whose scripts were skipped so you can review them here. This command only works inside a project that has a `package.json`. Running it with `--global` (`-g`) fails with an `EGLOBAL` error, since global installs (`npm install -g`) and one-off executions (`npm exec` / `npx`) have no project `package.json` to write to. To allow install scripts in those contexts, use the `--allow-scripts` flag at install time (for example `npm install -g --allow-scripts=canvas,sharp`) or persist the setting with `npm config set allow-scripts=canvas,sharp --location=user`. There are four subcommands: npm install-scripts approve < pkg> [< pkg> ...] npm install-scripts approve --all npm install-scripts deny < pkg> [< pkg> ...] npm install-scripts deny --all npm install-scripts ls npm install-scripts prune `approve` allows install scripts for the named packages. ` ` matches every installed version of that package. By default it writes pinned entries (`pkg@1.2.3`), which keep their approval narrowed to the specific version you reviewed. Pass `--no-allow-scripts-pin` to write name-only entries that allow any future version. `--all` approves every package with unreviewed install scripts in one go. `deny` records an explicit denial for the named packages (a name-only `false` entry), which survives `npm install-scripts approve --all` and excludes the package from any future blanket approval. `--all` denies every package with unreviewed install scripts. `ls` is read-only: it lists every package whose install scripts are not yet covered by `allowScripts`, without modifying `package.json`. `prune` removes `allowScripts` entries that no longer match an installed package with an install script, either because the package is no longer installed (a transitive dependency changed, or a pinned `pkg@1.2.3` was upgraded) or because it no longer has an install script. Both approvals (`true`) and denials (`false`) are removed. It edits only the `allowScripts` field in `package.json`, never `.npmrc` or `--allow-scripts`. Pass `--dry-run` to preview without writing. Unparseable keys are left alone. `approve` honours the asymmetric pin rule: if you re-approve a package whose installed version has changed, the existing pin is rewritten to track the new installed version. Multi-version statements (`pkg@1 || 2`) are left alone, since they likely capture intent that the command cannot infer. Existing `false` entries always win; `approve` will not silently re-allow a package you previously denied. The standalone commands `npm approve-scripts` and `npm deny-scripts` are aliases for `npm install-scripts approve` and `npm install-scripts deny`. ## Examples # Approve all currently-installed install scripts after reviewing them npm install-scripts approve --all # Approve specific packages, pinned to their installed version npm install-scripts approve canvas sharp # Deny a package so it stays blocked npm install-scripts deny telemetry-pkg # Preview which packages still need review npm install-scripts ls # Preview stale allowScripts entries, then remo…[truncated] <title>npm-approve-scripts | npm Docs</title> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v12/commands/npm-approve-scripts/ npm-approve-scripts | npm Docs # npm-approve-scripts Approve install scripts for specific dependencies Table of contents ## Synopsis npm approve-scripts < pkg> [< pkg> ...] npm approve-scripts --all npm approve-scripts --allow-scripts-pending Note: This command is unaware of workspaces. ## Description Manages the `allowScripts` field in your project&`#39`;s `package.json`, which records which of your dependencies are permitted to run install scripts (`preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, and `prepare` for non-registry sources).

Multi-version statements (`pkg@1 || 2`) are left alone, since they likely capture intent that the command cannot infer. Existing `false` entries always win; `approve-scripts` will not silently re-allow a package you previously denied. If a registry dependency has no `resolved` URL in your `package-lock.json` (for example, an older lockfile or one written with `omit-lockfile-registry-resolved`), npm cannot verify a trusted version for it and cannot pin it: a `pkg@1.2.3` entry never matches, so the package keeps appearing under `--allow-scripts-pending`. `approve-scripts` approves these by name (`pkg: true`) and warns when it does. To restore pinning, refresh the lockfile with `npm install`. ## Examples # Approve all currently-installed install scripts after reviewing them npm approve-scripts --all # Approve specific packages, pinned to their installed version npm approve-scripts canvas sharp # Approve name-only (any version of this package is allowed) npm approve-scripts --no-allow-scripts-pin canvas # Preview which packages still need review npm approve-scripts --allow-scripts-pending ### `all` - Default: false - Type: Boolean Show or act on all packages, not just the ones your project directly depends on. For `npm outdated` and `npm ls` this lists every outdated or installed package. For `npm approve-scripts` and `npm deny-scripts` it selects every package with pending install scripts. ### `allow-scripts-pending` - Default: false - Type: Boolean List packages with install scripts that are not yet covered by the `allowScripts` policy, without modifying `package.json`. Only meaningful for `npm approve-scripts`. ### `allow-scripts-pin` - Default: true - Type: Boolean Write pinned (`pkg@version`) entries when approving install scripts. Set t…[truncated] <title>npm-rebuild | npm Docs</title> https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v12/commands/npm-rebuild/ npm-rebuild | npm Docs # npm-rebuild Table of contents ## Synopsis npm rebuild [< package-spec>] ...] alias: rb ## Description This command does the following: 1. Execute lifecycle scripts (`preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, `prepare`) 2. Links bins depending on whether bin links are enabled This command is particularly useful in scenarios including but not limited to: 1. Installing a new version of node.js, where you need to recompile all your C++ add-ons with the updated binary. 2. Installing with `--ignore-scripts` and `--no-bin-links`, to explicitly choose which packages to build and/or link bins. If one or more package specs are provided, then only packages with a name and version matching one of the specifiers will be rebuilt. Usually, you should not need to run `npm rebuild` as it is already done for you as part of npm install (unless you suppressed these steps with `--ignore-scripts` or `--no-bin-links`). If there is a `binding.gyp` file in the root of your package, then npm will use a default install hook: "scripts": { "install": "node-gyp rebuild" This default behavior is suppressed if the `package.json` has its own `install` or `preinstall` scripts. It is also suppressed if the package specifies `"gypfile": false` ### `global` - Default: false - Type: Boolean Operates in "global" mode, so that packages are installed into the `prefix` folder instead of the current working directory. See folders for more on the differences in behavior. - packages are installed into the `{prefix}/lib/node_modules` folder, instead of the current working directory. - bin files are linked to `{prefix}/bin` - man pages are linked to `{prefix}/share/man` ### `bin-links` - Default: true - Type: Boolean Tells npm to create symlinks (or `.cmd` shims on Windows) for package executables. Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the fact that some file systems don&`#39`;t support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix systems. ### `foreground-scripts` - Default: `false` unless when using `npm pack` or `npm publish` where it defaults to `true` - Type: Boolean Run all build scripts (ie, `preinstall`, `install`, and `postinstall`) scripts for installed packages in the foreground process, sharing standard input, output, and error with the main npm process. Note that this will generally make installs run slower, and be much noisier, but can be useful for debugging. ### `ignore-scripts` - Default: false - Type: Boolean If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files. Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as `npm start`, `npm stop`, `npm restart`, `npm test`, and `npm run` will still run their intended script if `ignore-scripts` is set, but they will not run any pre- or post-scripts. Setting `ignore-scripts` also disables `.npm-extension` execution, as if `ignore-extension` were set. ### `allow-scripts` - Default: "" - Type: String (can be set multiple times) Comma-separated list of packages whose install-time lifecycle scripts (`preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, and `prepare` for non-registry dependencies) are allowed to run. This setting is intended for one-off and global contexts: `npm exec`, `npx`, and `npm install -g`, where no project `package.json` is involved. For team-wide policy in a project, use the `allowScripts` field in `package.json` (which also supports explicit denials), or configure it in `.npmrc`. Passing `--allow-scripts` on the command line during a project-scoped `npm install`, `ci`, `update`, or `rebuild` is an error. Each name is matched against a dependency&`#39`;s resolved identity, not against the package&`#39`;s self-reported name. `--ignore-scripts` and `--dangerously-allow-all-scripts` both override this setting. ### `strict-allow-scripts` - Default: false - Type: Boolean If `true`, turn the install-script policy from a warning into a hard error: any dependency with ins…[truncated] <title>7068d42 feat: Phase 1 of `allowScripts` opt-in install-script policy (`#9360`)</title> https://github.com/npm/cli/commit/7068d4286eb446fdb0ded08d15d7b5c3883d80f5 # 7068d42 feat: Phase 1 of `allowScripts` opt-in install-script policy (`#9360`) - SHA: 7068d4286eb446fdb0ded08d15d7b5c3883d80f5 - Repository: npm/cli - Author: JamieMagee - Date: 2026-05-27T15:06:03Z - +5653 -85 in 46 files - Verified: yes --- feat: Phase 1 of `allowScripts` opt-in install-script policy (`#9360`) Implements Phase 1 of npm/rfcs#868, which makes dependency install scripts opt-in. **Install behaviour is unchanged.** Scripts still run as they always have. The only Phase 1 user-visible change is one advisory block at the end of `npm install` listing packages whose install scripts haven&`#39`;t been reviewed via the new `allowScripts` field in `package.json`. A future release will turn that advisory into an actual block. ### What landed - `allowScripts` field in `package.json`, read at install time - Three new configs: `allow-scripts`, `strict-script-builds`, `dangerously-allow-all-scripts`. The latter two are no-ops in this release. They&`#39`;re registered so projects can pin them in tooling ahead of the release that flips the default. - `npm approve-scripts` and `npm deny-scripts` commands, with the RFC&`#39`;s asymmetric pin rule (approves can pin, denies are always name-only) - Advisory warning during `npm install`, `ci`, `update`, and `rebuild`. `npm exec` / `npx` consult only the user/global `.npmrc` layer per the RFC, with the policy threaded through libnpmexec for Phase 2 enforcement. - Identity matcher in `@npmcli/arborist` covering registry, git, file, and remote tarballs. Registry identity is derived from the lockfile&`#39`;s resolved URL (via `versionFromTgz`), never from `node.packageName` or `node.version`. Those getters read the installed tarball&`#39`;s `package.json` and can be forged. - Aliases match against the underlying registered package, not the alias name. `trusted@npm:naughty@1.0.0` is approved by writing `naughty`, not `trusted`. Holds even under `omitLockfileRegistryResolved`, where the install location alone (`node_modules/trusted`) would be misleading. The underlying name is derived from the incoming edge&`#39`;s alias `subSpec`. - Bundled deps with install scripts are flagged as unreviewed and filtered out of `npm approve-scripts --all` and positional matches. Per RFC they cannot be allowlisted in Phase 1. - Warning when a non-root workspace declares its own `allowScripts` ### What&`#39`;s deliberately deferred - Actual blocking. The matcher exists and the policy is threaded through to arborist, but `arb.rebuild()`&`#39`;s build set still runs everything. Phase 2 will gate `#addToBuildSet` on the matcher. - A safe allowlist syntax for bundled deps. The RFC notes a candidate `parent@1.2.3 > bundled-name` form for a follow-up.

<title>Install using npm, Yarn, pnpm, or Bun | Cypress Documentation</title> https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress Cypress uses a `postinstall` script to download the Cypress binary into the binary cache. As a security hardening measure, package managers increasingly block dependency lifecycle scripts such as `postinstall` by default. When the script is blocked, the Cypress binary is not downloaded and Cypress will not run. ... The sections below describe how to allow Cypress to run its `postinstall` script, or how to install the Cypress binary explicitly, for each supported package manager. ... Starting in npm 11.16.0, a warning is issued, then starting in npm 12.0.0, npm blocks `postinstall` lifecycle scripts by default. To allow Cypress to run its `postinstall` script, use one of the following approaches. ... After installing Cypress, you can use the `npm install-scripts` CLI command to add `cypress` to the `allowScripts` list so npm runs the `postinstall` script on install. Use the `--no-allow-scripts-pin` option if you want to allow also future versions of Cypress, or omit if not. `npm rebuild` re-runs the installation to install the Cypress binary after its installation has been allowed. ... npm install cypress --save-dev npm install-scripts approve cypress --no-allow-scripts-pin npm rebuild cypress ... For all npm versions >=11.16.0 you can add `cypress` to `allowScripts` in `package.json` manually instead of using a CLI command: "allowScripts": { "cypress": true ... Alternatively, if you&`#39`;d rather not modify your `allowScripts` list, install the Cypress binary explicitly after install completes: ... npx cypress install ... Starting in Yarn ... To allow Cypress to run its `postinstall` script, set `enableScripts` to `true` and add `cypress` to the npmPreapprovedPackages list (available in Yarn Modern >=4.10.0) in your project&`#39`;s `.yarnrc.yml` file: ... approvedPackages: - ... Cypress is detected automatically from a `bun.lock` (text, Bun >=1.2) or `bun.lockb` (binary) lockfile. When you install Cypress with `bun add`, Bun trusts the package and runs its `postinstall` script. ... When restoring dependencies from an existing manifest with `bun install` (for example in CI), Bun does not run `postinstall` scripts for packages that aren&`#39`;t in its trustedDependencies allowlist. To install the Cypress binary, use one of the following approaches: ... Recommended: Skip lifecycle scripts and install the binary explicitly. This avoids running `postinstall` scripts from dependencies and is the more secure approach: ... bun install --ignore-scripts bunx cypress install ... Alternatively, trust Cypress so Bun runs the `postinstall` script on install. You can use the CLI: ... bun pm trust cypress Or add `cypress` to `trustedDependencies` in `package.json` manually: "trustedDependencies": ["cypress"] <title>Advanced installation in Cypress: custom binary, cache & proxy | Cypress Documentation</title> https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/advanced-installation Most people install Cypress with a single `npm install cypress --save-dev` and never need anything on this page. The defaults are designed to "just work": Cypress downloads the right binary for your operating system, caches it so it can be reused across projects, and launches it when you run a test. ... 1. The npm module (`cypress`) is added to your project like any other dependency. This package is small: it&`#39`;s the CLI, TypeScript types, and the `cypress` binary launcher. It is not the Cypress application itself. 2. The binary (the actual Cypress application, including the bundled browsers&`#39`; automation layer) is downloaded in a `postinstall` step. Because the binary is large and platform-specific, it is stored in a global cache outside `node_modules` so a single download can be shared by every project on the machine. ... When you later run `cypress open` or `cypress run`, the npm module locates the matching binary in the cache and launches it. ... | `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY` | Sets which Cypress binary to install: a version, URL, or local file | | `CYPRESS_DOWNLOAD_MIRROR` | Downloads the Cypress binary from a mirror server | | `CYPRESS_DOWNLOAD_PATH_TEMPLATE` | Builds a custom URL to download the Cypress binary from | | `CYPRESS_CACHE_FOLDER` | Changes the location of the Cypress binary cache | | `CYPRESS_RUN_BINARY` | Sets the path to the Cypress binary to launch at run time | ... | `CYPRESS_VERIFY_TIMEOUT` | Overrides the timeout ... for the `verify` command. The default value ... 0000. | ... PRESS_SKIP ... - `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY`: Use this when the binary npm would install isn&`#39`;t the one you want. Common goals: pin a binary version that differs from the npm package, install from an internal URL when `download.cypress.io` is blocked, or install from a local `.zip` on an offline machine. Setting it to `0` skips the binary download entirely, which is handy for building base Docker images or splitting install and download into separate, debuggable steps. ... Corporate networks frequently force outbound traffic through a proxy. Because the binary download happens outside your application code (in npm&`#39`;s `postinstall`), Cypress reads the proxy settings npm and the OS already use, so you usually don&`#39`;t have to configure anything Cypress-specific. ... ## Install binary​ ... `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY` controls which binary the `postinstall` step fetches. People most often need this when the version published to npm isn&`#39`;t the one they want, or when the public download server isn&`#39`;t reachable from where they&`#39`;re installing. ... To override what is installed, you set `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY` alongside the `npm install` command. ... Sometimes you want the npm module without the binary download, for example, to build a base Docker image and add the binary in a later layer, or to install the binary yourself with debug output. Setting `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=0` skips the download entirely. ... CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY= 0 npm install ... will skip its install ... once the npm module is installed. ... When an install fails, the useful output is usually hidden: package managers run `postinstall` in the background by default. The fix is to run `cypress install` on its own with debug logging enabled so you can see exactly where the download or unzip step breaks. ...

The simplest…[truncated] <title>Command line interface (CLI) commands and options in Cypress | Cypress Documentation</title> https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/command-line This guide assumes you&`#39`;ve already read our Installing Cypress guide and installed Cypress as an `npm` module. After installing you&`#39`;ll be able to execute all of the commands in this document from your project root. ... ## Using scripts​ ... Cypress command strings can be saved as scripts for reuse. ... Don&`#39`;t use `cypress` as the exact name of a script, especially if you use Yarn as package manager. When running commands on the Cypress binary (e.g. `yarn cypress verify`), Yarn will reference the script of the same name instead and Cypress CLI commands may not work as expected. ... ### `cypress install`​ ... Installs the Cypress binary that matches the version of the `cypress` npm package into the global cache. ... npx cypress install This command normally runs automatically as a `postinstall` step when you add `cypress` with your package manager, so you rarely need to run it yourself. Running it explicitly is useful when the binary was not downloaded during `npm install`, including these scenarios: ... - Your package manager blocks lifecycle scripts (for example with `--ignore-scripts`, or because a security policy disallows `postinstall`), so you install the binary yourself at a later stage instead of granting Cypress install-time script access. - You want to download and cache the binary on one machine (such as a CI "install" stage), then skip the download on every subsequent machine that reuses that cache. - The automatic install was skipped on purpose by setting `CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY=0`. - You want to troubleshoot the installation by running the download on its own with debug logging enabled. ... For example, add `cypress` while skipping the binary download, then run the install on its own with debug logging enabled: ... CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY= 0 npm install cypress --save-dev CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY= 0 yarn add cypress --dev CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY= 0 pnpm add --save-dev cypress CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY= 0 bun add --dev cypress DEBUG= cypress:cli* npx cypress install DEBUG= cypress:cli* yarn cypress install DEBUG= cypress:cli* pnpm cypress install DEBUG= cypress:cli* bunx cypress install The binary that gets installed, the cache location, and the download source can be customized through environment variables. See Advanced Installation for details. ... #### Options​ ... | Option | Description | | --- | --- | | `--force`, `-f` | Force install the Cypress binary | | `--help`, `-h` | Output usage information | ... #### `cypress install --force`​ ... By default, `cypress install` does nothing when a binary matching the package version is already present in the cache. Pass `--force` to download and reinstall the binary anyway, overwriting any existing installation. ... - npm - Yarn - pnpm - Bun ... npx cypress install --force yarn cypress install --force pnpm cypress install --force bunx cypress install --force ### `cypress verify`​ ... ### `cypress cache [command]`​ ... clear`​ <title>Upgrade Cypress: version migration guide | Cypress Documentation</title> https://docs.cypress.io/app/references/migration-guide Cypress 16 requires Node.js 22.x, 24.x, or 26.x and above to install the Cypress binary.

Approve the Cypress 16.1.0 install script.

When the Node 24 setup uses npm 12, npm ci can block Cypress 16.1.0's postinstall script. The current approval matches only cypress@15.19.0, so the Cypress binary can be missing when the audit runs.

Suggested fix
-        "cypress@15.19.0": true
+        "cypress@16.1.0": true
