Description

The network security group allows inbound SSH (port 22) connections from any IP address, exposing SSH access to the entire internet. This configuration makes remote server management interfaces publicly accessible and highly susceptible to unauthorized access attempts.

Impact

Unrestricted internet access to SSH can enable attackers to attempt brute-force attacks, exploit vulnerabilities, or gain unauthorized control over cloud resources. This may lead to data breaches, service disruption, or further compromise of the organization's Azure environment.

Resolution

Block port 22 access from the internet
