Overview

peacenotwar is a package that serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia's aggression that threatens the world right now. This module will add a message of peace on your users' desktops, and it will only do it if it does not already exist just to be polite.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Undesired Behavior. It creates files on users' desktops and OneDrive.
