Amazon S3 Encryption Client for .NET has a Key Commitment Issue

S3 Encryption Client for .NET (S3EC) 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.
