Lets say (for example) that was published on a wordpress site, and the admins for whatever reason didn't secure it properly.

The article in question which _today_ looks all legit and points to a nice working script, might tomorrow be pointing to someone else's script that's a lot less legit.

And yes, in this imaginary scenario that wordpress install leads to a host of other problems for the company.

No need to make them your problems too though. ;)
