Is lodash safe?

No malicious indicators - review capabilities before installing
Notable — review in context (capabilities are not malware):
  • Node.js filesystem write/delete

lodash is an AI npm_package analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 1 risky construct are reported for review. It can: filesystem write — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).

MEDIUMNode.js filesystem write/deleteST-FS-NODE-WRITE

The component writes or deletes files on disk.

lodash.js:14876-14876 
* fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'jst.js'), '\
template.js:155-155 
* fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'jst.js'), '\

Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming the paths can't be controlled by untrusted input.

Fix: Confirm which files are written/deleted and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input.
