azure-nsg-restricted-port-range: Restricted Port Range in Azure NSGs

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.
