Report #79615

[agent\_craft] Generating code that imports obscure or hallucinated packages

Only suggest well-known, canonical libraries \(e.g., requests, numpy\). If unsure, state that the user must verify the package exists and is reputable before installing. Never invent package names.

Journey Context:
Agents hallucinating package names is a known attack vector \(dependency squatting\). If an agent suggests 'pip install math-utils', an attacker might publish malware under that name. This is a supply chain risk. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM09: Overreliance\) highlights the danger of trusting LLM outputs without verification, especially in package management.
