info:
  name: Check for Unrestricted PostgreSQL Database Access
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that Google Cloud VPC network firewall rules do not allow unrestricted access (0.0.0.0/0 on TCP port 5432). Restrict PostgreSQL traffic to trusted IP addresses or IP ranges to implement the Principle of Least Privilege (POLP) and reduce the attack surface.
  impact: |
    Allowing unrestricted access to TCP port 5432 exposes PostgreSQL database servers to potential brute-force or unauthorized access attacks.
  remediation: |
    Update your VPC firewall rules to allow PostgreSQL traffic only from trusted IP addresses or ranges.
