The section I'm working in runs a facility for sensitive research data (https://www.uio.no/english/services/it/research/sensitive-data/). Our users use R (along with other analysis software). We don't consider R safe or unsafe, but have designed the services so that it should not be possible (or at least very difficult) for sensitive information to leak out of the network.
I would say that your best bet is to expect all analysis software to have security holes or be compromised, and design your setup/network around that assumption. -- Regards, Bjørn-Helge Mevik
