How can PHP scripts be validated to ensure they do not make any unauthorized filesystem access, particularly with the removal of Safe Mode in PHP 5.4?

To ensure PHP scripts do not make unauthorized filesystem access, particularly with the removal of Safe Mode in PHP 5.4, you can use open_basedir restrictions in your PHP configuration. This setting limits the directories from which PHP scripts can access files, preventing unauthorized access to the filesystem. 

// Set open_basedir restriction in PHP configuration
ini_set('open_basedir', '/path/to/allowed/directory');
