The risk is not in the software itself, but in the server which hosts the installers. A hacker could just build the software from sources (adding his backdoor) and replace the original installers with his own, if the server is not properly secured.
- cesarb 11y agoThe risk is exactly the same with proprietary software. A hacker can unpack the installer and create a new one with his changes. Or, as they often do, create a wrapper which installs their malware and then calls into the original unmodified installer.
