Description

The Azure Cognitive Search service is configured to allow public network access, making it accessible from the internet. This can expose sensitive data and operations to unauthorized users.

Impact

If public access is enabled, attackers could connect to the search service from anywhere, potentially leading to data leaks, manipulation of search indexes, or unauthorized access to sensitive information. This increases the risk of breaches and non-compliance with security standards.
