id: azure-nsg-icmp-unrestricted info: name: Unrestricted ICMP Access in Azure NSGs author: princechaddha severity: high description: | Ensure that Microsoft Azure network security groups (NSGs) do not allow unrestricted inbound access using Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to prevent potential network-related attacks. impact: | Allowing unrestricted ICMP access can expose the network to various threats, including Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and network mapping. remediation: | Configure NSG rules to restrict ICMP traffic. Only allow necessary ICMP types and codes and monitor ICMP activity to detect unusual patterns. 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 --query '[*].{name:name, resourceGroup:resourceGroup}' --output json 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' && protocol=='ICMP']" matchers: - type: word words: - '"sourceAddressPrefix": "*"' - '"sourceAddressPrefix": "internet"' - '"sourceAddressPrefix": "any"' extractors: - type: dsl dsl: - 'nsg + " has unrestricted access using ICMP"' # digest: 490a0046304402207c590fc88edaaa8de5331c5c8e737546e466bf0bed99b18c025833322a4a19f802204c34a4b37cb54d1d5cda34a67d07bd7c719409377eabbc4abccc83408fab598f:922c64590222798bb761d5b6d8e72950
