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.

It depends upon (a) the terms of the software license from the
client's perspective and (b) the terms of your contract with the
client. (b) will be modified by where you are and how you perform the
work-- work for hire may belong to the client by default, which is why
your contract should cover this sort of thing.
