how do we tell if a php program is secure or not?

hello,
I am using maillist program from http://www.webinsta.com/ on my website.
The website got hacked. I had to upload the files again to the server.

There is a security update for this script on the website.

SECURITY UPDATE
Download the latest version or open maillist/inc/initdb.php and put on line 2
if(isset($_GET['absolute_path']))
{
echo "no access from here !!";
exit;
}

Will this be enough or I should follow some other steps too to make the site secure.
