What

Adds one exposure catalog for the 2026-07-28 npm RAT cluster that targeted Alibaba developers: 17 packages, each matching every version because the advisory names none. Adds one row to the catalog index.

Why

This campaign had no catalog here. npm replaced the packages with holding placeholders, so a scan cannot find them by asking the registry, yet any endpoint that installed one still carries it.

Each package cleared two independent checks before it entered the file: an OSV malicious-code record, and npm removal.

How we verified it

Built this repo's scanner from d76e369, loaded the whole catalog directory, and scanned a tree holding lib-mtop at an arbitrary version. It reported a critical finding, evidence exact name match, catalog entry matches any version.

Note: schema_version is 0.2.0, so this needs the any-version support from #65. The newest tag accepts 0.1.0 only.

Built with Claude Code.
