  name: RDS Public Snapshot Exposure
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Checks if AWS RDS database snapshots are publicly accessible, risking exposure of sensitive data.
  impact: |
    Public snapshots can expose sensitive data to unauthorized users, leading to potential data breaches.
  remediation: |
    Modify the snapshot's visibility settings to ensure it is not public, only shared with specific AWS accounts.
