Spyware in exported network equipment isn't anything new, it's been

vulnerability with increasing organisational complexity is a worry.
Sweden identied foreign developed software as a potential threat to
national security as far back as the 1970s, although I'm not sure they
ever did much about it.
Free and open source software (FOSS) can be properly audited before use in
sensitive areas. Proprietary software can too under an NDA. Quite a few
organisations have access to the source code of Microsoft Windows for
example.
This gets a bit more complicated when talking about firmware in an access
point but methods exist to verify the binary.
This is an under-recognised problem.
