With these keys, an attacker can:

The string you've provided, -file-..-2F..-2F..-2F..-2Fhome-2F-2A-2F.aws-2Fcredentials , appears to be a path that has been URL-encoded. Let's decode it to understand what it represents: -file-..-2F..-2F..-2F..-2Fhome-2F-2A-2F.aws-2Fcredentials

The AWS keys belonged to a developer who had stored them on an EC2 instance used for testing. The keys had full administrator access. Within hours, the attacker: With these keys, an attacker can: The string

That’s why credentials is a crown jewel for attackers. With these keys

The -file-..-2F..-2F..-2F..-2Fhome-2F-2A-2F.aws-2Fcredentials path appears to be a file path traversal vulnerability, which allows an attacker to access sensitive files on a system by manipulating the URL or input parameters. In this case, the vulnerability seems to be related to AWS credentials, specifically the ~/.aws/credentials file.
