The hacker does not use a /tmp dir, to hack your forum. He takes advantage of your 0777 chmoded dirs in vB to screw you nice.
I posted this issue long time ago but people thought I'm crazy. I even wrote a tutorial on this site how to secure vB... Put it this way: You have a 0777 dir into your /var/www/html (or whatever is the web root)? You can be hacked, very easy.

this article I wrote long time ago... probably nobody read it.
Then secure the same way the curent 0777 dirs, not just the config file. Chmod them to 0750 and own them by nologinuser:root.
