Despite the best (or typical) practices of any producer of food, any product can become contaminated. If cream cheese is contaminated with the bacteria that produce botulism, they will most likely grow, especially as the cream cheese is wrapped in a foil type material that excludes air. (Botulism bacteria are anaerobic, meaning they grow without air / oxygen.)

Yes, botulism can grow without oxygen. The bacteria that cause botulism, Clostridium botulinum, are anaerobic, meaning they thrive in low-oxygen environments.

Proper food preservation techniques are essential to prevent botulism.
