Is Filesystem safe to install?

A server's blast radius is the most powerful thing each of its tools can do. This grades the tools it declares, read-only, not whether it is secure.

The grade reflects the blast radius of what Filesystem declares it can do, read-only, not whether it is secure or trustworthy, and not a judgment of the vendor. Maintain this server? Claim this listing or request a re-scan. See the methodology.
