The detection rule identifies the creation of AWS Network Access Control Lists (ACLs) that allow all traffic from a specified CIDR block. It utilizes AWS CloudTrail events to monitor for specific API actions, namely `CreateNetworkAclEntry` and `ReplaceNetworkAclEntry`. If the ACL rules are configured to permit all traffic (typically indicated by `aclProtocol=-1` and `cidrBlock=0.0.0.0/0`), it raises a significant alarm. This misconfiguration can lead to unauthorized access, potential data breaches, and various malicious activities within the AWS environment. The rule is designed to alert security teams when such changes occur, enabling timely investigations and mitigations against potential threats.
