Definitely some backdoors right in there.
3 3 ReplyIt's open source. If there were backdoors people would've noticed.
3 4 ReplyOpen source code isn’t immune to exploits. It’s impossible to exhaustively test every interaction in massive code bases for unintended behavior.
The upside of open source is that a well intentioned person might find a vulnerability and get it fixed. Up until then it might be someone’s 0 day.
