Description

This check identifies Azure Redis Cache instances with firewall rules that permit access from any IP address (0.0.0.0/0), effectively exposing the Redis cache to the entire internet. When firewall rules are configured with start_ip and end_ip set to 0.0.0.0, it creates a significant security vulnerability by allowing unrestricted access to your Redis cache. Instead, restrict access by specifying a limited IP range, as shown below:

// Insecure configuration
resource "azurerm_redis_firewall_rule" "insecure" {
  start_ip = "0.0.0.0"
  end_ip   = "0.0.0.0"
}

// Secure configuration
resource "azurerm_redis_firewall_rule" "secure" {
  start_ip = "10.2.3.4"
  end_ip   = "10.3.4.5"
}
