  name: Unrestricted Admin Port Access
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Checks for unrestricted ingress on TCP ports 22 (SSH) and 3389 (RDP) in Amazon VPC NACLs, exposing remote server administration to potentially malicious traffic.
  impact: |
    Allows unrestricted remote access, increasing the risk of unauthorized access and potential compromise.
  remediation: |
    Restrict access to ports 22 and 3389 to trusted IPs or IP ranges to adhere to the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP).
