Summary
AWS aws-nitro-enclaves-sdk-c from 0 before 0.4.6 contains incomplete string validation (CWE-807) that trusts parent-supplied input in a security decision. A third party able to influence that input can impersonate the AWS KMS endpoint used by the enclave, and the attacker needs local access with low privileges.
