I'd guess that the odds of bug discovery is roughly proportional to the number of people looking at the source code times the economic incentive to find a bug.

Both of these are astronomically high in the case of Bitcoin and Ethereum, and it's been some time since any breaking bugs have been found, so the odds of any remaining exploitable bugs must be pretty low.

A new bug could be introduced, obviously, but I think the review period for new changes reduces the odds of that too.
