GHSA-72fp-w44g-625q at a Glance
How to Fix GHSA-72fp-w44g-625q
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Aws database encryption sdk dynamodb dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
<dependency>
<groupId>software.amazon.cryptography</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-database-encryption-sdk-dynamodb</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
</dependency>Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=software.amazon.cryptographyHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-72fp-w44g-625q, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=software.amazon.cryptographyAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Aws database encryption sdk dynamodb in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.1.1), your application is affected.
Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=software.amazon.cryptography command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

"details" : "### Impact\nThis advisory addresses an issue when a DynamoDB Set attribute is marked as SIGN_ONLY in the AWS Database Encryption SDK (DB-ESDK) for DynamoDB. This also includes when a Set is part of a List or a Map.\n\nDB-ESDK for DynamoDB supports `SIGN_ONLY` and `ENCRYPT_AND_SIGN` attribute actions. In version 3.1.0 and below, when a Set type is assigned a `SIGN_ONLY` attribute action, there is a chance that signature validation of the record containing a Set will fail on read, even if the Set attributes contain the same values. The probability of a failure depends on the order of the elements in the Set combined with how DynamoDB returns this data, which is undefined.\n\nThis update addresses the issue by ensuring that any Set values are canonicalized in the same order while written to DynamoDB as when read back from DynamoDB.\n\n### Patches\nFixed in version 3.1.1 \nWe recommend all users upgrade as soon as possible.\n\n### Workarounds\nNone\n\n### References\nFor more information on how to address records with Sets marked as `SIGN_ONLY` written by versions 3.1.0 and below of DB-ESDK, see [AWS Database Encryption SDK Decrypt with Permute](https://github.com/aws/aws-database-encryption-sdk-dynamodb-java/tree/v3.1.1/DecryptWithPermute)",
