EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This medium-severity CVE scores 5.9 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.5% (40th percentile of EPSS-scored CVEs). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

No fix is confirmed yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for the fix.

An out-of-bounds write issue in the Base64 decoder in Amazon aws-sdk-cpp before 1.11.862 might allow a remote authenticated user to cause a crash or heap memory corruption in an application that processes crafted Base64-encoded input.

To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.11.862.
