id: azure-nsg-restricted-port-range info: name: Restricted Port Range in Azure NSGs author: princechaddha severity: medium description: | Ensure that Azure network security groups (NSGs) do not have ranges of ports configured to allow inbound traffic, which can expose associated virtual machines to Denial-of-Service (DoS) or brute-force attacks. Only specific ports required by your application should be open following cloud security best practices. impact: | Having a range of ports open can increase the vulnerability to DoS and brute-force attacks, compromising the security of your Azure virtual machine instances. remediation: | Modify the NSG rules to only allow inbound traffic on necessary ports specific to your application requirements. This practice minimizes potential attack vectors. reference: - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/network-security-groups-overview tags: cloud,devops,azure,microsoft,nsg,azure-cloud-config flow: | code(1); for (let NsgData of iterate(template.nsgdata)) { NsgData = JSON.parse(NsgData); set("nsg", NsgData.name); set("resourcegroup", NsgData.resourceGroup); code(2); } self-contained: true code: - engine: - sh - bash source: | az network nsg list --output json --query '[*].{name:name, resourceGroup:resourceGroup}' extractors: - type: json name: nsgdata internal: true json: - '.[]' - engine: - sh - bash source: | az network nsg rule list --nsg-name $nsg --resource-group $resourcegroup --query "[?direction=='Inbound' && access=='Allow'].{PortRange:destinationPortRanges, Rule: name, Priority: priority}" matchers: - type: word words: - "0-65535" - "80-8080" - "111-32800" extractors: - type: json name: destinationPortRange internal: true json: - '.[].destinationPortRange' - type: dsl dsl: - 'nsg + " allows a range of ports " + destinationPortRange + " which may be vulnerable to attacks"' # digest: 490a00463044021f21859c98924805e6bdd21c851b2a919a44e039851f63966c6521da18e78a54022100ab249a26f01c954b6fe266ef91cedd236f41441b864954ab208a2f1ead51e9e1:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
