Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The Maven package software.amazon.encryption.s3:amazon-s3-encryption-client-java is affected before version 4.0.0. When the encrypted data key is stored in an Instruction File, an attacker who can craft a rogue data key and upload a new instruction file to the S3 bucket can cause later decryptions to return attacker-chosen plaintext. Upgrade to version 4.0.0 or later; the source lists no workarounds.
