The code would need to work and pass merge tests too. The merge 
reason must match in review. If someone fixes a task and 
additionally adds 100 LOC some should, will ask what this is 
about.

It's a extrem unlikely scenario. You may heard of linux kernel 
source that contains code that no one exactly knows about. But 
this some kind of bait. It's old code, reviewed years ago, not 
needed anymore but not knowing to be harmful. Completely 
different.

Anyway, code old or new may be harmful if it allows UB (undefined 
behaviour) and that is what hackers primarily use, not secret 
backdoors. This is why it's important to write CORRECT software 
that doesn't allow and cannot fall in a state of UB.
