Package exploits dependency confusion. A beacon request is used to report usage back, but no additional information are exfiltrated.


Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: GENERIC-beacon-dependency-confusion

Reasons (based on the campaign):

  • typosquatting

  • dependency-confusion
