ELI5, how was the malicious PR approved and merged?

Are they using AI for automated code review too?

The workflows were set up to execute with a read/write `GITHUB_TOKEN` for `nx` when a PR was created/edited (no approval necessary).

See the security warnings on `pull_request_target`

seems like the npm repo got hacked and the compromised version was just uploaded
