Great news! Plus, you won't touch the stove again. I had to get myself burned a few times before I accepted that those pre-installed scripts (when they work) are hacker magnets!
I had some rectal orofice from Turkey hack the pre-installed "gbook" for my uncle's funeral and totally hose my db, just to insert commie propoganda to replace family photos. My buddy's pre-installed "gallery" for pics of his new grandkid was spammed with comments linking to "adult toy" and porno sites. The hackers look for the common folder locations of popular pre-installed scripts for which they know exploits. Keeping them updated is only good after a new exploit is discovered and the only way to avoid the sniffing and door-knocking is to tweak ALL of the code with changed file names, pointers and paths. That's typically not for the user that would install a pre-installed script. More than anything else now, I use ubiquitous services (that are maintained and updated by the operators) like Picasa, YouTube and Blogger. Plenty of controls to keep the baddies away, and I don't break my site with my dumb mistakes.
