When creating Recovery Scenario(CPM v3.0 and up) and adding a backup target via Rest API, it will save the following details as plain text

  2. IAM AWS Secret Key when providing alternate Credential


Interim resolution until solution applied

  2. or remove the proxy details and configure matching S3 worker configuration
