With npm v12 npm install will no longer automatically run scripts from your package dependencies, but instead must be explicitly marked as allowed/trusted. This is to reduce the potential for malware and the effect of other recent supply chain attacks to be performed.
nodejs-itoolkit uses node-odbc and node-idb-connector which use node-pre-gyp to automatically install a pre-built node binding from the corresponding GitHub release or fall back to building it from source if a pre-built is not available. Starting with npm v12, the node-pre-gyp install script will no longer be run unless explicitly allowed using npm approve-scripts itoolkit.
