See the first bullet point. I was referring to any code that is distributed.

Yeah, there's no way to really audit code running on a remote server with the exception of fuzzing. Hell, even FOSS can't be properly audited on a remote server because you kind of have to trust that they're running the version of the source code they say they are.

Ohhh, code that is distributed. The implication of that word flew over my head lmao, thanks for the clarification.
