CVE-2025-14761: AWS SDK for PHP's S3 Encryption Client has a Key Commitment Issue

December 18, 2025 (updated December 20, 2025)

S3 Encryption Client for PHP is an open-source client-side encryption library used to facilitate writing and reading encrypted records to S3.

When the encrypted data key (EDK) is stored in an “Instruction File” instead of S3’s metadata record, the EDK is exposed to an “Invisible Salamanders” attack (https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/016), which could allow the EDK to be replaced with a new key.
