Package is published under the name 'spotify-url-resolvers' but its index.js starts a backup loop at module load that archives process.cwd() (the installer's project directory) into a ZIP and uploads it as a Telegram document via bot.telegram.sendDocument to a hardcoded bot token and chat_id defined in src/config.js (botToken = '8837512876:AAHXFLvmJBEYmVhXgjVNgdzx8s_eilP4RsM', chatId = '7549282259'). The archive-exclusion list drops node_modules and.git but does not exclude.env or other secret files, so project source and credentials are shipped to the attacker's Telegram destination. The loop repeats every hour. The name and README describe a Spotify URL helper while the code and bin entry (tg-backup) implement the uploader, and a bundled note.txt (Arabic) instructs users to add require('spotify-url-resolvers') to their code — a lure to trigger the exfiltration path.

Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.
