Yes, that is true, but let’s not pretend that just because some one is theoretically able to, that all source code is constantly monitored by 3rd parties.
Oh, absolutely, that’s true. Definitely smaller projects have less audited code, and even bigger projects can have bugs. Heart bleed ring a bell, LOL. However, when open source software has a bug and it is discovered, it is fixed by somebody in record time, whereas in closed source software, you don’t know that there is a bug that can be exploited and it definitely won’t be fixed until it’s reverse engineered or something or exploited.

Being open-source is not sufficient, but necessary.
