Just don't let it out of the house.
Looks a lot like air potato ....one of the worst invasive plants there is next to Brazilian pepper.

I haven't seen a green bean plant this wirey and leafless.It still could be.I know I'm not familiar with all the bean plants.

Seems like the company markets several different kinds of plants . Try looking at this link to their product line to match it up to what you have . Products

Agree, looks like an "air potato" you really don't want it on your property...IMO

To me, it looks like a bean seedling that is a bit leggy. There are lots of garden bean varieties from bush to pole. It could be hybrid bean plant developed for the purpose.
