I think you have no idea how some processes work.
We have cryptographic digest methods to verify source code and
final builds. In theory, someone could inject bad code if nobody
would review it properly of course. But especially for compilers
such code would be detected soon and no insane person in such
projects would just merge code without reviewing it.
That applies for open source - not if you just download a
compiled binary from a ftp server in the open web of course :D
