Description

A DB port is the port number used by the database engine to listen for client connections to the individual instance's database. When creating a DB instance, a default port number is assigned for each specific database engine. Applications that use default ports are more prone to be attacked. Using a default port can allow attackers to learn more information about the application and may lead to further exploitation. It was detected that RDS DB instance {AwsRdsDbInstance} is using a default port - {AwsRdsDbInstance.DbInstancePort}. It is advised to use non-default ports in order to protect the DB instance from unauthorized access.
