Ensure that 'Remote debugging' is set to 'Off'

Why This Matters

Remote debugging creates a live communication channel to your Azure App Service that can be exploited by attackers if not properly secured. Enabling this feature without strict access controls allows unauthorized users to connect to your application, potentially leading to data breaches or malicious code execution. Disabling remote debugging reduces the number of entry points for unauthorized access and protects sensitive information from being exposed during debugging sessions.

What Aether365 Checks

Aether365 verifies that the Remote Debugging setting is configured to "Off" for all Azure App Services. This check appears in your Aether365 dashboard under the azure-app-services category.
