## Impact

This rule is checking to make sure that Network Security Group (NSG) does not allow unrestricted traffic on the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port, which is 3389. Allowing unrestricted RDP traffic could leave the network open to potential brute force attacks, where attackers attempt to gain unauthorized access by trying different combinations of usernames and passwords. Additionally, if security vulnerabilities are discovered in RDP, the network could become an easy target for attackers. Therefore, it is a bad practice to allow all traffic on the RDP port due to these security risks.

## How to Fix

*Resource:* oci\_core\_network\_security\_group\_security\_rule

* *Arguments:* TBD

## Source should either not be 0.0.0.0/0 or the destination port should not include 3389. \[source,go]

resource "oci\_core\_network\_security\_group\_security\_rule" "pass\_1" { network\_security\_group\_id = oci\_core\_network\_security\_group.fail\_network\_security\_group.id protocol = "1" direction = "INGRESS"

* source = "192.168.12.0/0" stateless = true

tcp\_options { destination\_port\_range { min = 3389 max = 3391 }

## source\_port\_range { min = 100 max = 100 } } }

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/appsec-rules/iac-security/public-exposure/appsec2-oci-2.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
