[FIXED] How can I properly mimic this encryption method to produce the proper value for the encryptedPwd field?

Issue

Background

I'm needing to pull reports from Amazon's Seller Central portal for multiple clients of ours on a weekly basis via a python script. I try to avoid webdrivers due to their inconsistent, error-prone nature across different OSes (from experience). Therefore, I figured it would be a fun little project (and maybe, ultimately, exercise in futility) to try reverse-engineering the login process for sellercentral.amazon.com. The process isn't difficult, save for two fields in the initial login form: password and metadata1. The password field is discussed in detail below. The metadata1 field seems to employ a similar technique, while introducing the additional hurdle of changing every few seconds. When i monitored the metadata1 value it appeared to be generated using a large json object of the various browser metrics. But, one thing at a time, so I'll focus on the password encryption in this post and worry about metadata1 in a future post.

Getting to the point 

Upon form submission the value in the password field is encrypted using techniques discussed further down in this post. The resulting encrypted value then replaces the value in the the password field and renames the field encryptedPwd

My Findings

So far, I've been reviewing the javascript files and stepping through the code sequences and have learned the following:

• They're utilizing a proprietary SiegeCrypto.js script as the main cryptographic library (Siege being Amazon's Secure Ingress and Egress Team) & SubtleCrypto as a part of the process for generating the encryptedPwd   - SiegeCrypto is first found in AuthenticationPortalSigninNA.js, declaring the basic initial encryption definition:

SiegeCrypto.addProfile("AuthenticationPortalSigninNA", {
  "password": {dataType: "AuthPortalSigninPasswordNA", requiresTail: false},
});
...
SiegeCrypto.addDataType({
    "dataTypeId": "AuthPortalSigninPasswordNA",
    "jwkPublicKey": {"kty":"RSA","e":"AQAB","n":"gXXZV1VqZ6k_uQtyJNJy5q-qvKdqrXJNgKUO1aYc1UPBVqlhCP0GPxf-0GSo-LEtArgcbF8-j6_vSLSqztYxxF8og--rB8zAyZ8DXZaugX-UiJDQnoJL_HtXKuwIm9U7oEPoeD6H4ZDcfbsPj77xVn7UA2-a90N4aZqMC8EIfXIy1tqSbSPnxPOaiEmy8xGtG-L3RdCyc7TL0Swd_f0_DjRT6ip91IBlCmquoa-xJgZ9e44PVH4AwdyssiV4ZLEZ5yFcE0zcRb_62kx_TQptidbJ4nHocFVjmUW9YsrAWeKrBmOGZEjO4vbATYs1Yf4vgcH7Ix61EPR5sbDP4SlBWQ"},
    "providerId": "si:md5",
    "keyId": "56d14edce8e2cb6c6842c59ddaee426e"
});

Stepping through the code I was able to find more specifics of the algorithm

*profile* (used by SiegeCrypto)
- password: {dataType: "AuthPortalSigninPasswordNA", requiresTail: false}
*publicKeyProvider* (added as a DataType to SiegeCrypto)
- keyId: 56d14edce8e2cb6c6842c59ddaee426e
- providerId: si:md5
*wrapKey*
- wrappingAlgorithm
  - name: RSA-OAEP
  - hash: SHA-256
  - modulusLength: 2048
  - publicExponent: [1, 0, 1]
*Additional Fields*
name: aes_128_gcm_iv12_tag16
encryption: AES-GCM
ivLength: 12
keyLength: 128
tagLength: 128

Later in the process I was able to find the following, which I'm assuming is the parameters amidst being processed according to the encryptions specifications above, but i have no idea how to get to that point

cipherMessage: Uint8Array(413) [1, 128, 0, 20, 124, 132, 165, 153, 149, 96, 94, 4, 210, ...]
messageHeader:
- algorithmId: 20
- contentType: 2
- encryptedDataKeys: [{"keyInfo": "56d14edce8e2cb6c6842c59ddaee426e"}]
- encryptionContext: {}
- frameLength: 12
- headerIvLength: 12
- messageId: Uint8Array(16) [124, 132, 165, 153, 149, 96, ...]
- type: 128
- version: 1

Looking over Amazon's AWS Encryption SDK (Python Repo) I've found the following three pieces that seem to be what I need. However, I'm not sure where to go from here.

# algorithm, mode, data_key_length, iv_length, auth_length, auth_key_length=0
EncryptionSuite.AES_128_GCM_IV12_TAG16 = (algorithms.AES, modes.GCM, 16, 12, 16)

# algorithm_id,  encryption, message_format_version
AlgorithmSuite.AES_128_GCM_IV12_TAG16 = (0x0014, EncryptionSuite.AES_128_GCM_IV12_TAG16, 0x01)

# encryption_type, algorithm, padding_type, padding_algorithm, padding_mgf
WrappingAlgorithm.RSA_OAEP_SHA256_MGF1 = (EncryptionType.ASYMMETRIC, rsa, padding.OAEP, hashes.SHA256, padding.MGF1)

The Question

Can someone provide a short python snippet utilizing the above encryption techniques along with an explanation, so I can see how the encryptedPwd field value is generated? Here's a dummy password to demonstrate with: Blamazon123

Two example values of the above dummy password as encryptedPwd (I've added spaces where I saw consistences):

Adding Additional Source Code with Analysis

The javascript file largely responsible for generating the metadata1 field can be found here. I've decrypted the functions that I saw were part of the metadata1 generation process. They start on the following lines:

• 1827 (relates to encryptedPwd) adds the encryption eventlistener to the form submit action
• 332 the core generating function that dispatches the encrypting steps
• 789 & 810 create a crcTable that's used in generating
• 1839 calculates a checksum (used in the metadata1 process)
• 2540 is where the metadata1 values are returned (from line 332)
• 2672 and 2704 are where I noticed the email being converted a hex value, that is prefixed to the metadata1 contents before it's encrypted

Solution

The metadata1 is encrypted in XXTEA. I‘ve wrote a Python script to decode and encode the metadata1. This can be found here.
