If the backup password to these encrypted files is known, it can be rather trivial to access the data within.
Recently, a certain head of state's son had 100s of GB of iCloud backups thrown onto a torrent, and within a day rogue manchildren living in their parents' basements cracked most, if not all of it open.
With the backup password in hand, all one needs is this README.md file [0] to be off to the races.

That's how encryption works...
That's how Apple's encryption in iCloud works. There are plenty of modern encryption standards that are not broken by a random user merely entering a random passphrase string.
Some parts of iCloud are encrypted, some are not.
