If the person who wrote the hack is not knowledgable about security or making sure that their code is secure there is high potential that your forums could be compromised. It is unfortunate, but a fact of installing hacks to any kind of code.

That statement is misleading - they are believed to be secure, they may infact have significant vulnerabilities at the time of your post (which of course the vendor may not know about).
