Look up ‘santy worm’ and the now defunct “howdark.com”. It never ended up in court, it went as far as lawyers letters until they backed doen. It wasn’t phpbb that sent the lawyers letters, it was a business owner that used phpbb that was hit by the santy worm. The lawsuit would have likely gone nowhere but she still had to spend cash on her own lawyers, she was 19 at the time and did nothing more than a standard vuln disclosure to the community. This isn’t even an extreme case, there’s much worse.
