Not discrediting Open Source Software, but nothing is 100% safe.

Sure, someone knows how to audit code.

Whether that someone is inclined to do it for whatever random FOSS package / library / application / service / whatever is a different question.

There is a much higher chance that someone out of 7 billion people will audit open source than it is likely for a corporation to do it, let alone make it publicly known and fix it.
