An Amazon EC2 instance is in a private subnet. To SSH to the instance, it is required to use a bastion host that has an IP address of 10.0.0.5. SSH logs on the EC2 instance in the private subnet show that connections are being made over SSH from several other IP addresses. The EC2 instance currently has the following inbound security group rules applied: Protocol: TCP – Port: 22 – Source: 10.0.0.5/32 – Protocol: TCP – Port: 22 – Source: sg-xxxxxxxx – Protocol: TCP – Port: 389 – Source: 0.0.0.0/0 – What is the MOST likely reason that another IP addresses is able to SSH to the EC2 instance?
