It isn't feasible to audit every line of every dependency, just as it's not possible to audit the full behavior of every employee that works at your company.

In both cases, the solution is similar: try to restrict access to vital systems only to those you trust,so that you have less need to audit their every move.

Your system administrators can access the server room, but the on-site barista can't. Your HTTP server is trusted enough to run in prod, but a color-formatting library isn't.
