Description#

The firewall configuration allows outbound traffic to any IP address by using overly broad destination CIDR ranges such as 0.0.0.0/0. This lack of restriction exposes internal services or resources to the entire internet.

Impact#

Unrestricted outbound access can enable data exfiltration, command-and-control communications, or lateral movement by attackers if a resource is compromised. This greatly increases the risk of data leaks and unauthorized external communications, potentially exposing sensitive systems or information.

Resolution#

Set a more restrictive cidr range
