Anyone who truly wants to run an exchange shouldn't touch those open source 'exchanges' at all.
Even if we assume that the author did not include an intentional vulnerability which wouldn't be found by a code review (which we shouldn't assume at all),
how would you think you'd handle occurring issues ? Outdated software, new vulnerabilities, etc.. ?
People who have the bankroll and want to run an exchange, get a customized software built for them for several 10k / 100k $.
People who don't have any clue at all, use free open source software. Then they either get hacked or lose funds because of other unforeseen issues.
Just look at the Issues on github.
One person doesn't know how to add a new currency.. but obviously believes he is capable of running an exchange
Another person can't even get the software to run.. and even worse.. then another one suggests him to give the user running the service root permissions
People using such open source software to get an exchange running are asking to lose money. Either by the developer through built in vulnerabilities or through other script kiddies.
