Example:
Hi, I am in need of someone willing to install the video directory addon on their site and wait to be hacked so they can then find out what the exploit was and fix it?

I am at a loss here.
How about this, for a fee, would you fix the exploit after my site gets hacked?

Nah just post saying:

A recent vulnerability in the Video Directory Remixed mod was discovered however not disclosed. I would like a coder to view the file(s) and ensure everything is updated to be fully secure.

Alternatively you could also say something along the lines of:

A recent vulnerability in the Video Directory Remixed mod was discovered however not disclosed. I would like a coder to view the file(s) and ensure everything is updated to be fully secure then I want to share the file with staff so the mod can be restored for all members to enjoy again!

The coder may or may not want to do that, it won't hurt to ask and will surely benefit everyone else or you may not simply want to do that, its your money and your prerogative HOWEVER I would honestly post in unpaid requests or vB4 programming discussion first asking for help - some folks LOVE to be helpful, after all its a nice thing to do!

The coder already knows its not secure, they can be given access to your site OR duplicate your site and test in a dev/test environment if you're fret'n about anything but it should be a non-trivial fix with a little bit of rewriting not much. Point being anyone whose anyone in vBulletin and dealing with modifications of this nature and/or security in general will see the issue right away and know how to fix it, I mean I saw it sure enough - there it was like a snake in the grass named Charlie... HALP! CHARLIE BIT ME!
