Attackers backdoor trusted AWS integrations to steal secrets

## Steps
1. This incident involves a provider (aws). Search config, CI and env templates (.env.example, wrangler.toml, vercel.json, terraform, workflow secrets) for credentials stored there. List each secret by name, where it is used, and how to rotate it. Never print secret values.
2. No source names a fix yet; check the vendor advisory. Until one ships: restrict network access to it.

## Report
A table: file, product or package, version in use, affected yes/no, exact fix. Then anything a human has to check outside the repo.
