  name: Unrestricted Access on Uncommon EC2 Ports
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure Amazon EC2 security groups do not allow unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0, ::/0) on uncommon ports, protecting against brute force attacks on EC2 instances.
  impact: |
    Unrestricted ingress on uncommon ports increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential brute force attacks on EC2 instances.
  remediation: |
    Restrict access to uncommon ports in EC2 security groups, permitting only necessary traffic and implementing stringent access controls.
