Severity : Medium

Description: This control ensures that OCI Security List is restricted from the CIDR 0.0.0.0/0 or All port. OCI Security List and Security Groups uses Applications (Protocol, Port) and Network IP address as source and destination to allow traffic to VNICs in a subnet. Each rule either allows or denies traffic when its conditions are met.
