Aws Default Allows All Traffic

Description

Detects if the default VPC security group allows unrestricted inbound traffic from any source (0.0.0.0/0). This misconfiguration could expose EC2 instances to unauthorized access from the internet, violating the principle of least privilege and potentially creating entry points for attackers.

Detection Strategy

    Identifies security groups with the name 'default' in the AWS account

    Examines each inbound rule (IpPermissions) in the default security group

    Reports a vulnerability if any inbound rule contains a CIDR range of 0.0.0.0/0, which allows traffic from any source IP address
