A flaw was found in istio. Any client authorized to access Istio XDS API can retrieve any cached gateway TLS certificate and private keys. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling istiod caching. This is controlled by the PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHE environment variable being set to false on istiod.
Note: since this disables XDS caching, it may impact the performance of istiod.
