Any hack, even, ironically, those intended to bring more security to your forums, can comprimise them. As only Jelsoft has the best understanding of their product and end users do not, an otherwise stable product is modified and possibly introduced with security holes.

If you seriously care about your forums' security, do not install third-party hacks. Usually paid hacks are better because they are done more thourougly and checked before release, as well as your own hacks because you know exactly what they do.
