I didn't know phpbb3 has had critical security issues.

Because it hasn't, at least recently.

And if you see the details here http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1529/Phpbb.html you'll see that the most serious exploits are in modules and not on PHPBB itself.

That's like saying you didn't know that linux or osx has security issues the ones for windows are just best known because it's most popular not because any of the three is inherntly more secure
