As a bit of extra background: I've been professionally auditing (probably thousands of) FOSS dependencies for years now, in a high-risk environment, and *not once* have I run across deliberately malicious code, not even questionably broken code, really.

Every single issue so far has been a security issue, none that were likely to be disguised backdoors. Many of them very common security issues that most developers are likely to create themselves when reinventing wheels (eg. when avoiding dependencies out of a misguided fear of malicious code).

That's where the *real* risk is.
