RE: Publishing Findings on Commercial Applications

Might be a better idea to contact the vendor first.
These days you can get into all sorts of trouble for revealing flaws.

Besides, it's probably more ethical to work with them first isn't it ? :)

You could also follow RFP's disclosure policy:

Greetings Brother and Sister List Members,

I have question: If I performing Penetration Test on customer site
and this customer has a commercial application which is not
publicly available for download or purchase, do I have a right to
publish finding of this application to the public without
mentioning customer name?

This application widely used by banking and financial industry and
not always available to anyone for testing.

Kind regards,
Jez
