Description
An AWS Security Group acts as a virtual firewall for your instances to control inbound and outbound traffic. We identified the security group ""{AwsEc2SecurityGroup}"" ({AwsEc2SecurityGroup.GroupId}) is configured to allow inbound access to TCP port 9200 (Elasticsearch) from any IP address (0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0).-
Recommended Mitigation
Ensure security groups in your account are configured to allow access to TCP port 9200 (Elasticsearch) from specific IP addresses only.
