No Hallucinated npm or PyPI Package Imports
LLMs invent plausible package names like @auth/next-guard or react-smart-filter that do not exist. Attackers can register these (slopsquatting) to inject malware.
Review my codebase for "No Hallucinated npm or PyPI Package Imports" (DEP-AI-01). Issue: LLMs invent plausible package names like @auth/next-guard or react-smart-filter that do not exist. Attackers can register these (slopsquatting) to inject malware. Remediation required: Verify every package in package.json exists on the official npm/PyPI registry and has active maintainers. Please: 1. Locate any occurrences of this issue across my repository. 2. Refactor the code to follow production standards without breaking existing functionality. 3. Provide a clear command or step to test and verify the fix.
Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
LLMs invent plausible package names like @auth/next-guard or react-smart-filter that do not exist. Attackers can register these (slopsquatting) to inject malware.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
