## Overview

Description
NGINX Gateway Fabric has a vulnerability when it is configured with Gateway 

Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and have an authenticated gRPC connection with NGINX Agent. A namespaced 

 authenticated attacker with access to a service account may impersonate the authenticated NGINX Agent gRPC connection to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace. 

Impact
A remote authenticated attacker may be able to read TLS private keys of Gateway deployments in another namespace. 

There is no data plane exposure; this is a control plane issue only.
