CVE-2025-14762
Description
A flaw was found in the AWS SDK for Ruby, an open-source client-side encryption library. A user with write access to an S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket can exploit a missing cryptographic key commitment. This allows the introduction of a new Encrypted Data Key (EDK) that decrypts to different plaintext when stored in an "instruction file" instead of S3's metadata. This vulnerability can lead to data integrity issues, where encrypted data is incorrectly decrypted.
Statement
This vulnerability doesn't affect any supported Red Hat product.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Application Data
The confidentiality of sensitive data may be compromised by the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm.
Integrity
Technical Impact: Modify Application Data
The integrity of sensitive data may be compromised by the use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm.
Accountability,Non-Repudiation
Technical Impact: Hide Activities
If the cryptographic algorithm is used to ensure the identity of the source of the data (such as digital signatures), then a broken algorithm will compromise this scheme and the source of the data cannot be proven.
