This is an issue in Insomnia as well.
The underlying problem is yarn searching parent directories for
package.jsonfiles. Note that ignoring yarn warnings will not solve this issue as a malformed json will trigger a yarn error.Your reproduction steps are insufficient to reproduce the problem. To reproduce the problem, before step 3, write
{}to apackage.jsonfile in any parent directory (the user home directory, for example).To fix the issue on an individual basis, find and remove the offending
package.jsonby traversing parent directories.fix: prevent yarn directory traversal on plugin installation

Thanks you're right, there was a package.json file in my user directory for some reason. I deleted it and am now able to install plugins.
