This rule detects changes to OpenAI IP allowlist configurations, which include actions such as creation, modification, deletion, activation, or deactivation of IP allowlists. IP allowlists are critical for restricting access to APIs and consoles, as they enforce network-level controls by permitting only specified IP addresses or CIDR ranges. Unauthorized changes to these configurations can significantly increase security risks. Notably, security control removals (e.g., deletions or deactivations) are highlighted as critical concerns due to the potential for unauthorized access. The addition of risky IPs, such as '0.0.0.0', during updates is deemed a high-severity issue, while visibility-related configurations are categorized as medium severity. The rule's operational framework includes establishing a series of tests to ensure these changes are monitored effectively and examined against organizational security policies. In case of unauthorized changes, immediate actions such as reverting to previous configurations and conducting audits on affected access should be undertaken promptly.
