Ingress rules that use large CIDR blocks grant network access to hundreds or thousands of hosts. This increases attack surface and raises the risk of unauthorized access, brute-force attacks, and lateral movement.
For CloudFormation:
For AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup resources, Properties.SecurityGroupIngress IPv4 entries (CidrIp) must use prefix lengths of /25 through /32, and IPv6 entries (CidrIpv6) must use /120 through /128.
For AWS::RDS::DBSecurityGroup resources, DBSecurityGroupIngress.CIDRIP IPv4 values must also use /25 through /32.
Resources missing these properties or that specify less specific prefixes (for example, /24 or shorter for IPv4, or /119 or shorter for IPv6) will be flagged. Remediate by replacing broad CIDR blocks with narrower CIDRs, specific host addresses, or security-group references so each ingress entry meets the required prefix length.
