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.\n","affected":[{"package":{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"spotify-url-infos"},"versions":["3.4.2"],"database_specific":{"cwes":[{"cweId":"CWE-506","description":"The product contains code that appears to be malicious in nature.","name":"Embedded Malicious Code"}],"indicators":{"evidence_files":[{"path":"index.js","sha256":"f91b959be8e41245535688e46cb39c0d1bdab88caa1614f9e87bdf6aecac7a5c","tlsh":"27e0553f56bd11ba002b6de3ed4b020008db628333f1c4867c2e3af88713088a606aa4"},{"path":"src/config.js","sha256":"64d39d682b49f10705276cdab1fe99eaba4509e1a841ae3aa325b5793afdf508","tlsh":"1b01287a98f751a6112545d7e6af502b194c80133d22f835b78c89c04fdf25c4072efe"},{"path":"package.json","sha256":"5f0c859952b3ace7f29aada03161a908d3070c1f61176498147aa0bc38814cfa","tlsh":"97f02228ce71ada318c89a720dbb82423231e4576d28fc1c3382525c8f8e13f24fd61d"}],"package_integrity":[{"filename":"spotify-url-infos-3.4.2.tgz","hashes":{"sha1":"59e2af1a5d5275ce85aa4c1f95cb521b5788031b","sha512_sri":"sha512-t89sz3rufIl+5mA2c6W3eYr/o5/9GIVwC7j+fC6efORoZz9tliapCe1qjecBKjef/FNggz5EqVc4BfsxavKwtQ=="}}]}}}],"references":[{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/spotify-url-infos/v/3.4.2"}],"credits":[{"name":"Amazon Inspector","type":"FINDER","contact":["inspector-research@amazon.com"]}],"database_specific":{"malicious-packages-origins":[{"id":"IN-MAL-2026-018738","import_time":"2026-08-25T14:21:11.877745169Z","modified_time":"2026-08-25T14:10:28Z","sha256":"e72208a0a63e3b9eb2549151c6b0899d84e79df1a1058cd72e048c3a44592440","source":"amazon-inspector","versions":["3.4.2"]}]}}
