Aws Unrestricted Security Groups
Description
Detects AWS RDS database instances that are potentially exposed to the internet through overly permissive VPC security group rules. This vulnerability occurs when security groups attached to RDS instances contain inbound rules with the CIDR range 0.0.0.0/0, which allows unrestricted access from any IP address.
Detection Strategy
• Enumerates all RDS database instances in the specified AWS region
• Identifies VPC security groups attached to each RDS instance
• Inspects the inbound rules (IpPermissions) of each security group
• Reports a vulnerability if any security group rule contains the CIDR range 0.0.0.0/0
