Therein lies the rub, I don't think it is - the main plugins aren't anyway. There is an open source CLI version though [1].

So it's on trust.

I trust them to have correctly implemented it based on the logic that their entire business' existence is build on the security of the platform.

If it fails, they fail, so I trust them to have put the work in and to do continual monitoring.

I have to trust KeePass too, I don't have the skill to audit it myself and the fact it's Open-Source is no guarantee of security (Heartbleed anyone?) so it's all about where your trust point/compromise lies.
