This comment is a lame hit job. WordPress is the most widely used publishing platform in the world and highly extensible, so there are always going to be third party plugins and themes which get compromised. If security is a concern you can simply avoid third party plugins and themes, or limit your use of them to reputable vendors who have good track records. The code of WordPress itself is pretty robust and the Core team has a great history of fixing vulnerabilities quickly.
