Why don't you just stop hosting free hacks as well and only have a link directory?

I think it'd be worse to link your users to another site where you have no control of support, payments, content, copy hacks, quality, etc. You'll also begin to split up the market in which vbulletin.org is pretty much the only legitimate player. Some other concerns I have are that if a user has a problem and the coder won't help them then they're left out to dry. Are you going to get involved then and try to moderate on other sites to see if what the user is saying is true? Are you going to remove those links from the link directory? how will you know if there's a problem if the site admin has deleted all traces of it?

How I see it, hosting them here solves a lot of problems but it just creates a lot more work.

You misunderstand - You asked about implementing some kind of system for security issues...

I said "We already have one in place for free hacks", meaning that we have a system of detecting and sorting out free hacks with security issues...

Add commercial hacks to the mix brings up many avenues of difficulty when commercial hacks are hosted from this site...
