We identified the security group ""{AzureNetworkSecurityGroup}"" ({AzureNetworkSecurityGroup.NsgId}) is configured to allow inbound access to TCP port 20 or 21 (FTP) 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 20 and 21 (FTP) from specific IP addresses only.
