Research direction
Start with the cryptography dependency declaration in pyproject.toml at line 13 and check how uv resolves it. Remove the upper bound, then verify that dependency resolution can select a version at or above the stated fixed versions rather than the vulnerable 48.0.1 release.

Description
Currently pyproject.toml has an upper bound on cryptography: https://github.com/aws/amazon-s3-encryption-client-python/blob/b067ea4b987181d907b675dac0cc99f69697dce4/pyproject.toml#L13
At the moment this is resulting in an older version being installed that has open CVEs assigned against it, as the package mostly uses major versions for new releases:

These days we can override this with uv, but unless there's a technical need due to incompatibility - it would be appreciated if the upper bound is removed.
