Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from improper exception handling during AWS config file parsing. The patch in PR #29587 explicitly wraps configparser exceptions to prevent leakage of sensitive data. The _read_credentials_file function (or equivalent config parsing logic) would be the primary location where raw exceptions from configparser.RawConfigParser.read() could propagate, exposing file contents in error messages before version 7.2.1.
