Open-source or closed-source, it's the same issue. Using other people's software has a lot to do with trust. If you don't trust the right people, you're putting yourself at risk.

Abstract
--------
One of the commonly-accepted principles of software design for security is that making the source code openly available leads to better security. The presumption is that the open publication of source code will lead others to review the code for errors. However, this openness is no guarantee of correctness.
