Changing the IP allowlist, typically used to restrict access to a specific set of IP addresses, can pose a security risk if an attacker gains unauthorized access to the system.
Exploiting changes to the IP allowlist can potentially lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security = issues. Here are some ways an attacker might exploit changes to the IP allowlist:
-
Unauthorized Access: If an attacker can change the IP allowlist, they can add their own IP address or IP addresses they control, allowing them to access the system from locations that were previously restricted.
-
Exfiltrating Data: Once inside the system, the attacker might attempt to exfiltrate data or perform actions that they wouldn’t have been able to do from their original, restricted IP addresses.
