Sentry comes up with "phantom" releases and version numbers when no release tracking is set up
Environment
self-hosted (https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/)
Version
Sentry 22.7.0
Steps to Reproduce
I have a project with the javascript type platform. I do not have any release tracking set up, and there are no version numbers (that Sentry has access to, or is exposed to in any way).
Sentry is initialized as follows:
let options = {
dsn: "<dsn>",
integrations: [new Sentry.BrowserTracing()],
tracesSampleRate: 1.0
};
Sentry.init(options);
Expected Result
Sentry should not create releases for this project.
Actual Result
Somehow, Sentry comes up with releases and version numbers for me! How helpful.

These version numbers (0.5.1, 0.5.2, etc) do not correlate with anything used on the site; nor do they line up with any changes made to the site. From what I can see, these "phantom" releases have 2-3 transactions at most and come from a single IP each time.
All other transactions are without release information (which is what I expect, and is the vast majority of transactions).
I reported this problem on the Discord server and was advised to create an issue on this repository.
