info:
  name: EKS Cluster Endpoint Public Access
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon EKS cluster's Kubernetes API server endpoint is not publicly accessible from the Internet in order to avoid exposing private data and minimizing security risks.
  impact: |
    Publicly accessible EKS cluster endpoints expose your Kubernetes API server to potential unauthorized access and attacks, increasing the risk of data breaches and security compromises.
  remediation: |
    Configure the EKS cluster endpoint access to be private or restrict public access to specific IP addresses. Use VPC endpoints and security groups to control access to the Kubernetes API server.
