@David RE support site: Interesting. Very interesting. I haven't seen much discussion on the list about this. Maybe I need to pay better attention. @Dan yes I am aware of OWASP. It's one of the sites I frequent. RE disclosure: I contact the vendors directly via email or phone, and keep the initial email communication between myself, my supervisor (so they are aware), and the vendor. I make myself available if they have questions, but it's a careful line. I am sitting on one CSFR I found today. My last interaction with this vendor did not go over as anticipated so I'm trying to determine the best approach with this one.
