Pattern: Use of public AWS network ACL

Issue: -

Description

Opening up ACLs to the public internet is potentially dangerous. You should restrict access to IP addresses or ranges that explicitly require it where possible.

Resolution: Set a more restrictive cidr range.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

resource "aws_network_acl_rule" "bad_example" {
  egress         = false
  protocol       = "tcp"
  from_port      = 22
  to_port        = 22
  rule_action    = "allow"
  cidr_block     = "0.0.0.0/0"
}

Example of correct code:

resource "aws_network_acl_rule" "good_example" {
  egress         = false
  protocol       = "tcp"
  from_port      = 22
  to_port        = 22
  rule_action    = "allow"
  cidr_block     = "10.0.0.0/16"
}
