id: ec2-unrestricted-pgsql
info:
  name: Unrestricted PostgreSQL Access
  author: princechaddha
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Identifies unrestricted inbound access to PostgreSQL databases in Amazon EC2 security groups, which can expose databases to security risks.
  impact: |
    Unrestricted access on TCP port 5432 increases vulnerability to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
  remediation: |
    Restrict inbound traffic to PostgreSQL servers by setting stringent rules in EC2 security groups, limiting access to specific IPs or ranges.
