CMS made easy and affordable

Not poo-pooing your solution or product here. But I'm curious how you solve one big problem.

Ya see, I've already had a handful of past projects where I largely did the same thing. Take a good solid core like Wordpress, extend the hell out of it to make it into something that does much more.

But the problem is, the Wordpress core is out there and wide open for everyone. It is also widely used. SO, when there's an exploit, you best keep WP up to date because within a week every script kiddy in the world will be looking for sites who haven't updated so they can exploit it.

This can be an absolute bitch if you've customized the code. You can just lay in a update. Nuke and many other open source products have the same issue.

How are you getting around this?
