Unfortunately, most companies use an organisational model where the reviewer comes from the same team as the author, and hence tends to share many of their assumptions about the system under modification.

Code review only works well to prevent this sort of thing if you have designated owners for each library/feature, who are on the hook for the robustness/security/privacy thereof, and whose signoff is mandatory.
