ZeroTrustIdentityService does not configure svidPicker, causing non-deterministic SVID selection

Describe the Bug

ZeroTrustIdentityService does not configure svidPicker, causing non-deterministic SVID selection

Library: com.sap.cloud.sdk.cloudplatform:connectivity-ztis
Affected version: 5.32.0 (and likely earlier)
SPIFFE library: io.spiffe:java-spiffe-core:0.8.17

Problem

ZeroTrustIdentityService.initX509Source() builds an X509SourceOptions without setting an svidPicker:

X509SourceOptions.builder()
    .spiffeSocketPath(socketPath)
    .initTimeout(DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT)
    .build();  // no .svidPicker(...) → falls back to getDefaultSvid()

DefaultX509Source.setX509Context() (in java-spiffe-core) then falls back to getDefaultSvid(), which simply returns the first SVID in the list:

if (picker == null) {
    svidUpdate = update.getDefaultSvid();   // first in list — non-deterministic
} else {
    svidUpdate = picker.apply(update.getX509Svids());
}

The SPIRE agent does not guarantee ordering. The set of SVIDs served for a workload changes when:

• A new CF service key is created for the ZTIS service instance — the ZTIS service broker registers a new SPIRE workload entry with the same selectors (CF space/app), making it visible to the running sidecar.
• Another service on the same Diego cell has a workload entry with overlapping selectors.

When this happens, getDefaultSvid() silently returns a different SVID — one belonging to another service key or workload. The mTLS handshake then either fails or presents the wrong identity to the remote service.

// Desired behaviour inside ZeroTrustIdentityService
String expectedSpiffeId = binding.getCredentials().get("workload.spiffeID");

X509SourceOptions.builder()
    .spiffeSocketPath(socketPath)
    .initTimeout(DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT)
    .svidPicker(svids -> svids.stream()
        .filter(s -> s.getSpiffeId().toString().equals(expectedSpiffeId))
        .findFirst()
        .orElseThrow(() -> new IllegalStateException(
            "No SVID found for SPIFFE ID: " + expectedSpiffeId)))
    .build();

Impact

• Silent mTLS identity mismatch — the wrong certificate is presented to the remote service with no warning.
• Failures are transient and environment-dependent: they only reproduce after a new service key is created or a co-located workload registers overlapping selectors, making them hard to diagnose.
• Workaround requires consumers to bypass ZeroTrustIdentityService entirely and manage the X509Source lifecycle themselves.

Suggested Fix

Read credentials.workload.spiffeID from the ZTIS binding (already available in the binding credentials) and pass it as the svidPicker predicate to X509SourceOptions. This is a non-breaking addition — the picker only applies when multiple SVIDs are present; when only one SVID is served, the predicate still matches correctly.

No new dependencies are required; io.spiffe is already a transitive dependency of connectivity-ztis.

Environment

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy a CF application using ZeroTrustIdentityService for mTLS.
2. Create a second CF service key for the same ZTIS service instance.
3. Observe that getDefaultSvid() may now return the SVID from the new service key rather than the application's own SVID.
4. The mTLS handshake with the remote service fails or presents the wrong identity.

Expected Behavior

Expected Behaviour

The X509SourceOptions should be built with an svidPicker that selects the SVID matching the SPIFFE ID from the ZTIS service binding credentials (credentials.workload.spiffeID). The SPIFFE spec explicitly requires that workload API clients select SVIDs by their known SPIFFE ID; accepting the first arbitrarily is a misuse of the Workload API.

Comienza en ZeroTrustIdentityService.initX509Source() e inspecciona cómo se utilizan las credenciales de enlace de ZTIS y X509SourceOptions. Confirma el comportamiento de selección de SVID cuando hay varios SVID disponibles; se considera terminado cuando la selección se basa en credentials.workload.spiffeID en lugar del orden de la lista, con un error claro cuando no existe ningún SVID coincidente.
