@goparrot-dashboard/category

Details

**Severity:** Critical

**Affected versions:** `= 0.0.1`

@goparrot-dashboard/category is a dependency-confusion probe: it takes a name in a `@goparrot-dashboard` scope that its publisher created on npm, next to GoParrot's public `@goparrot` scope, so a build that resolves that scope from npm gets it instead of a private package of the same name. Version 0.0.1 has no install scripts, and its `index.js` only prints a "[rootxravi-poc-security] @goparrot-dashboard/category" marker when loaded. The npm account devtest91001 published it on 2026-11-01 with 24 other packages in `@goparrot-dashboard` and `@goparrot-dashboard-api`, including @goparrot-dashboard/app, whose 0.0.2 sends the hostname, user and working directory to an interactsh callback host (`iuczektmwpudhwqnsbkgc6m8nx2dgn5vc.oast.fun`) from a preinstall script.
