Summary

Amazon SNS' signature validation in the official SDK relied on a weak regex for default AWS certificate locations, that would incorrectly match an S3 bucket named `sns`. This bucket happened to be publicly readable and writeable, allowing an attacker to forge messages to any user of the official SDK SNS validator.
