Most interactions in life are based on trust, so I don’t think you can be totally safe. However, you can choose who you trust enough so you don’t have to constantly worry. You mind find this speech titled https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf by Ken Thompson relevant.

Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27s_law, which postulates that more people looking at code means bugs get notices and fixed quicker, and large open source projects usually have a lot of people working on it.
