Certificate generation in juju/utils using the cert.NewLeaf function could include private information. If this certificate were then transferred over the network in plaintext, an attacker listening on that network could sniff the certificate and trivially extract the private key from it.
The product stores sensitive information in cleartext within a resource that might be accessible to another control sphere.
