Writing secure code is hard, and catching intentional backdoors is even harder. You touched on an area of $day_job expertise, so I went into immedite "challenge the myths around emergent security that still float around opensource projects" mode. A gross oversimplification, yes, but for my sleep-deprived brain, it worked :).

Out of the minority of people who can tell what the code does, a minority of those have the time, attention span, or interest in doing robust code auditing. Even organizations that *must* have the expertise miss flaws, much less trojan code designed to exfil data surreptitiously. The vast majority of end-users of code don't have the expertise required to determine what source code does, much less determine if that code is malicious. I can understand your concern, but keep in mind that these third party softwares are a) open source and b) have been used by tons of people over the years to no ill effect.
