# Dependency Confusion
> A dependency confusion attack or supply chain substitution attack occurs when a software installer script is tricked into pulling a malicious code file from a public repository instead of the intended file of the same name from an internal repository.

## Tools
* [visma-prodsec/confused](https://github.com/visma-prodsec/confused) - Tool to check for dependency confusion vulnerabilities in multiple package management systems
## Methodology
Look for `npm`, `pip`, `gem` packages, the methodology is the same : you register a public package with the same name of private one used by the company and then you wait for it to be used.
* DockerHub: Dockerfile image
* JavaScript (npm): package.json
* MVN (maven): pom.xml
* PHP (composer): composer.json
* Python (pypi): requirements.txt
### NPM Example
* List all the packages (ie: package.json, composer.json, ...)
* Find the package missing from https://www.npmjs.com/
* Register and create a **public** package with the same name
* Package example : https://github.com/0xsapra/dependency-confusion-expoit
