Description

Allowing TCP port 2383 (SQL Server Analysis Services) from the public internet (CIDR 0.0.0.0/0) exposes the analysis service to unauthorized connections, increasing the risk of data exposure, unauthorized queries, and lateral movement into your environment.

For Ansible tasks using the amazon.aws.ec2_group or ec2_group module, this rule flags any rules entry where cidr_ip is 0.0.0.0/0, proto is tcp, and the rule includes port 2383. Restrict access by specifying a limited CIDR range or referencing internal security groups instead of 0.0.0.0/0, or remove the rule if public access is not required.

Secure configuration example:

my_security_group:
  amazon.aws.ec2_group:
    name: my-sg
    rules:
      - proto: tcp
        from_port: 2383
        to_port: 2383
        cidr_ip: 10.0.0.0/24
