Deleted package detected #13

Closed ashishbijlani closed 2 days ago

I'm a Cyber Security researcher and developer of PackjGuard [1] to address open-source software supply chain attacks.

Issue

During my research, I detected a deleted package in this repository.

Details

Specifically, the package pargraph mentioned in file README at line 25 does not exist on the public PyPI registry. A bad actor can hijack this package to propagate malicious code.

Impact

Not only your apps/services using https://github.com/Citi/pargraph repo code are vulnerable to this attack, but the users of your open-source Github repo could also fall victim.

You could read more about such attacks here: https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/dependency-confusion-4a5d60fec610

Remediation

Please highlight this in file README and register a placeholder package for pargraph on public PyPI soon to remediate.

To automatically fix such issues in future, please install PackjGuard Github app [1].

Thanks!
