info:
  name: Restrict EC2 FTP Access
  author: princechaddha
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Ensure Amazon EC2 security groups disallow unrestricted inbound FTP access on TCP ports 20 and 21 to prevent brute force attacks.
  impact: |
    Unrestricted FTP access can expose EC2 instances to unauthorized access and brute force attacks, compromising security.
  remediation: |
    Restrict inbound access on TCP ports 20 and 21 for EC2 security groups to known IPs or remove the rules if FTP is not required.
