Top AIs invent same fake PyPl and npm package names

Five LLMs share 127 hallucinated package names; 53 remain open on PyPI/npm. Slopsquatting—registering fake packages to exploit AI code suggestions—is now a documented supply-chain vector that enterprise dev teams must guard against with validation protocols.

Slopsquatting, Phantom Domains, and HalluSquatting Are the Same AI Attack

Researchers proved that AI coding agents (Cursor, GitHub Copilot) hallucinate predictable package and domain names up to 100% of the time; attackers pre-register these names to compromise automated pipelines without stealing credentials. This represents a critical design failure—late binding between text generation and code execution—affecting any system that grants automation permission to fetch unverified code, making traditional security tools ineffective.

Slopsquatting, phantom squatting, and HalluSquatting all exploit the same late-binding attack pattern, where AI coding agents trust hallucinated package, repo, or domain names.…
