Summary

  • Narrow internal ingress CIDR used for service/monitoring access.

Context

  • JIRA-4521: Reduce internal exposure based on audit feedback.

Testing

  • Terraform plan reviewed in CI.

Rollout / Risk

  • If any internal tooling relies on the broader range, it may lose access; monitor health checks and alarms after merge.

🚀  env0 had composed a PR Plan for environment Terraform Example / production :

Plan: 0 to add, 3 to change, 0 to destroy.
Plan Details
Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution
plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
!   update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

🔥 Risks

Expanding 443 whitelist from /32 to /31 permits an additional external IP to reach the endpoint ❗Medium Open Risk ↗
The customer-api-access security group (sg-085ee012c9855643f) is updating its HTTPS ingress from 192.0.2.56/32 to 192.0.2.56/31. This expands the whitelist to include 192.0.2.57 in addition to 192.0.2.56.

Because this group is attached to a publicly reachable interface (eni-0d6892f82adf8a4d2 on 18.132.149.19), the change will allow an extra external host to connect to port 443 where previously only a single source IP was permitted. This weakens strict IP allowlisting and can grant unintended access if 192.0.2.57 has not been explicitly vetted, increasing the external attack surface for services behind this group.

Cross‑VPC monitoring and health checks from 10.50.0.0/16 will be blocked by narrowing SG ingress to 10.0.0.0/16 ❗Medium Open Risk ↗
Security group 540044833068.eu-west-2.ec2-security-group.sg-08c3767d4eeede7b5 is narrowing ingress on ports 8080, 443, and 9090 from 10.0.0.0/8 to 10.0.0.0/16. This SG is attached to the target at 10.0.101.239, which is being health-checked on 9090 by the internal NLB mon-internal-terraform-example in a peered VPC with CIDR 10.50.0.0/16.

NLB nodes in the 10.50.0.0/16 VPC (10.50.101.220 and 10.50.102.245) will no longer match the tightened 10.0.0.0/16 rule, so their health checks and monitoring traffic to 10.0.101.239:9090 will be blocked. The target is currently healthy via api-health-terraform-example, so the change will flip it unhealthy and cut off cross‑VPC observability and health visibility for this service.
