  name: Unrestricted MongoDB Access in EC2
  author: princechaddha
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Identifies open access to MongoDB in AWS EC2 security groups, where inbound rules allow unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0) to TCP port 27017. This poses a significant risk as it can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
  impact: |
    Allowing unrestricted access to MongoDB in EC2 can lead to unauthorized data access, data manipulation, or denial of service attacks, potentially resulting in critical data breaches and compliance violations.
  remediation: |
    Restrict MongoDB's TCP port 27017 access in EC2 security groups to only those IP addresses that require it, adhering to the principle of least privilege.
