  name: Unrestricted RPC Access in Azure NSGs
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that Microsoft Azure network security groups (NSGs) do not allow unrestricted access on TCP port 135, used by Remote Procedure Call (RPC), to prevent unauthorized access and potential exploitation of network services.
  impact: |
    Unrestricted access on TCP port 135 can expose services to remote execution attacks or unauthorized procedures calls, leading to significant security vulnerabilities.
  remediation: |
    Configure NSG rules to restrict access on TCP port 135. Ensure only necessary systems can initiate RPC, and apply strict monitoring and logging to detect unusual activities.
