zt_ai_001 — Azure OpenAI / Cognitive Services account is exposed to the public internet

Summary

Severity: High · Pillar: Workload · Chain role: ANCHOR

Description

Cognitive Services accounts (including Azure OpenAI deployments) configured with public network access accept inference requests from any source IP. Attackers who obtain (or guess) the subscription key can submit prompts, poison embeddings, or exfiltrate training data from any location — there is no network boundary to contain the blast radius.
