Description#
Database resources are configured to allow public network access, exposing them to the internet. This increases the risk of unauthorized access by bypassing network-level restrictions.
Impact#
If exploited, attackers could connect to the database from anywhere on the internet, potentially leading to data breaches, data loss, or manipulation of sensitive information. This exposure may also make the database a target for automated attacks and exploits.
Resolution#
Disable public access to database when not required
