  description: |
    The vsftpd package provides an FTP server for file transfer services.Since FTP is unencrypted and insecure, it should only be installed when explicitly required.
  remediation: |
    - Ensure the `vsftpd` package is not installed unless explicitly required.
    - To remove the package, run: sudo apt-get remove vsftpd -y
