Slopsquatting Definition: Slopsquatting is a supply chain attack where adversaries register malicious packages matching dependency names hallucinated by AI coding assistants.
Slopsquatting is a software supply chain attack in which adversaries register malicious packages using names that AI coding assistants frequently hallucinate but that do not actually exist in package registries. When developers blindly install these fabricated dependency names suggested by an LLM, they unknowingly pull attacker-controlled code. The name blends "AI slop" with typosquatting, reflecting its reliance on consistent model hallucinations.
