Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.
git-annex had a bug in the S3 and Glacier remotes where if embedcreds=yes
was set, and the remote used encryption=pubkey or encryption=hybrid,
the embedded AWS credentials were stored in the git repository
in (effectively) plaintext, not encrypted as they were supposed to be. This issue affects git-annex: from 3.20121126 before 5.20140919.
