It doesn't necessary.

Having a program open sourced does not necessarily mean that the program would be more vulnerable. Known wallets are open sourced to allow the user to review it themselves and search for any bugs. A zero day exploit is not all that likely.

Exactly this, as with the recent outbreak it seems obvious people take advantage of any exploit, finding it on your own is extremely difficult.
