The only interaction you know about.

I was working for a telco hardware and software manufacturer and I remember when about 15 years ago, I was the QA, who was sent to China with an engineer to implement "a feature" onsite (yes it was a backdoor). Everybody could guessed in my team, why are we were sent there. Also worked at a cinema control software company and we had to implement the same feature.

So yeah, it only take one engineer to implement a feature. (or a bug)

And your CTO didn't know about your trip abroad? Seems highly unlikely.

The CTO of the company probably was not even aware that we were working for the company.
