If your private key is lost or compromised, an attacker could decrypt your traffic between Cloudflare and your origin server, potentially leading to a man-in-the-middle attack. They could also impersonate your server. This jeopardizes the confidentiality and integrity of your data. If you suspect your key is compromised, immediately revoke the certificate from Cloudflare and generate a new one.
