Stuff like this is why it's important for all developers to study computer security. It is possible to create computer systems such that malicious users are unlikely to break into them, even if they have the entire system's source code. For example, look at heavily used open source software.
It seems like a lot of developers write closed source, commercial systems with the assumption that malicious users will never see it.
