Security in 2.0.3 Installation as default with HSphere
Are there known security issues in 2.0.3 that would result in a forum being defaced such that admins were deleted, posts and topics removed etc? I have installed a couple of forums using 2.0.3 as it is a preinstalled scriptwith psoft's HSphere hosting panel and recently experienced the joys of a defaced forum, however i had failed to delete the contrib directory.
The forums are not modded in any way as far as I know other han the theme. eg. www.matravilletiers.com/forum
I also have one setup that uses a gallery addon, www.kiteboard.com.au/phpBB2
Before I go about upgrading the various forums I have setup I would like to know if i am in any grave danger of having further forum hackings and if I should be reporting such issues to PSoft so that they can upgade the quick install script.

In short, yes. You need to upgrade to 2.0.5 ASAP, if not sooner.
