    Summary: Malicious code in spotify-url-infos (npm)

    Details: Source: amazon-inspector (e72208a0a63e3b9eb2549151c6b0899d84e79df1a1058cd72e048c3a44592440) Package is published under a name resembling the legitimate 'spotify-url-info' but its shipped code is an exfiltration tool. index.js invokes startBackupLoop() at top level, so simply require()'ing or importing the module (no user action, no CLI invocation) begins an hourly loop that zips the entire current working directory — traversed via archiver.glob('**/*', {cwd: process.cwd(), dot: true}) so dotfiles such as.env,.git, and any credentials in the tree are included — and uploads the archive to a Telegram chat via telegram.sendDocument. The destination is hardcoded in src/config.js as bot token 8837512876:AAH... and chatId 7549282259; the interactive.env setup shipped in bin/setup.js is a decoy and its values are never read by the runtime path. The package's declared description ('Automated server backup tool with Telegram delivery') conflicts with its published name ('spotify-url-infos'), the banner/log helpers are empty stubs, and every try/catch swallows errors, so the loop runs silently.
