Hello Everyone, I would llike to get your thoughts on Full Disclosure of Security Vulnerabilities . About 3 weeks ago during a per-test of a software suite for a client of myine, I found a directory traversal in a software suite that my client has installed on thousands of workstation.I send screen shots and a packet capture to the vendor and they were able to to recreate the exploit.my cleint doesn't want to go public with it because of the thousands of workstations and servers that its installed on. I also don't believe the vendor will go public with it, what would you all do?Best Regards --John ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?

Wait 1-2 weeks to see if the vendor is going to release a patched version or a patch and if not - disclose it. It's not shameful to have bugs in your soft, it's shameful not to fix them!
