Sometimes a disgruntled coder or someone trying to protect their work will do that but 100% of the "backdoor" type stuff we've encountered over the years with coding staff has been accidental or unintentional and often due to lack of care or lack of experience. More often they don't know enough about security and overlook something or they're in a hurry and as a result they write fast and sloppy code that leaves a vulnerability we end up fixing later.

Unless you have reason to believe they're inserting malicious code I wouldn't worry about it too much.
