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 of uncommon ports (Common ports are, for example, 80 for web, 22 for SSH remote access).

Recommended Mitigation

Ensure security groups in your account are not configured to allow inbound access from uncommon ports. More details can be found in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_SecurityGroups.html
