are vb database permissions safe?

[anolian]

Hi

vBulletin support inform me that the vbulletin user needs almost all permissions on its the vbulletin database, apart form GRANT and those associated with views.

I am pretty ignorant re security, but doesn't this mean that by default, should someone hack vbulletin, they can do almost anything do the underlying database?

Does the default user really need this much power?

Can someone reassure me as to why this isn't dangerous please?

Thanks very much, Mike
