Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions requet (affected versions not specified)
Description The requet package is a typosquatted version of a popular package with a similar name, designed to track users who install the incorrect package. Upon installation, it uploads information to a remote server, including the name of the downloaded package, the name of the intended package, the Node version, and whether the process is running as sudo. There is no further compromise beyond this information upload.
Recommendations Remove the requet package from your dependencies and ensure that package names are typed correctly during installation to prevent similar issues.
