  name: Unrestricted Access to SQL on EC2
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Identifies open inbound access to Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon EC2 instances. Checks for security groups allowing unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0) on TCP port 1433, increasing risks to SQL databases.
  impact: |
    Unrestricted access on port 1433 exposes Microsoft SQL Server instances to potential unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security vulnerabilities.
  remediation: |
    Restrict inbound traffic on TCP port 1433 to known, secure IP addresses. Regularly review and update security group rules to maintain minimal access requirements.
