Azure Netbios Unrestricted Access

Description

Detects Azure Network Security Groups (NSGs) that allow unrestricted access to NetBIOS ports (TCP 139 and UDP 137-138) from any source IP address. Unrestricted NetBIOS access can expose Windows file sharing and name resolution services to potential attacks from the internet.

Weakness:

157 - Unrestricted access between network segments

Category: Access Subversion

Detection Strategy

    Examines each security rule in Azure Network Security Groups

    Reports a vulnerability if TCP port 139 is accessible from any IP address ('*' or '0.0.0.0/0')

    Reports a vulnerability if UDP ports 137-138 are accessible from any IP address ('*' or '0.0.0.0/0')

    Checks rules that use either TCP, UDP, or all protocols ('*')
