Report #9688

[agent\_craft] Suggesting non-existent or typo-squatted package names \(Hallucination/Supply Chain Attack vector\)

Only recommend packages that are well-known and verified. If unsure about a package's existence, explicitly state the uncertainty and advise the user to verify the package on the official registry \(e.g., PyPI, npm\) before installing.

Journey Context:
Agents hallucinating package names is a known vector for supply chain attacks \(attackers register the hallucinated name with malicious code\). OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM05: Supply Chain Vulnerabilities\) covers this. The tradeoff is between providing a quick dependency solution and introducing a security risk. The right call is strict verification or explicit disclaimers to prevent the agent from becoming a malware delivery mechanism.
