  severity: medium
  description: |
    Checks if Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are publicly shared, potentially exposing sensitive data.
  impact: |
    Public sharing of AMIs can lead to unauthorized access and compromise of sensitive information contained within these images.
  remediation: |
    Restrict AMI sharing to specific, trusted AWS accounts and ensure they are not publicly accessible.
