Penetration Testing: Re: Full Disclosure of Security Vulnerabilities

["Mike Hale" <eyeronic.design () gmail com>]

What does your contract with your client state?  What kind of NDA did
you sign?  Legally, you'd be well advised to consult with an attorney
prior to disclosing anything publicly.

Morally, until a patch is applied to your clients' network, you
shouldn't disclose.  You found the vulnerability on your clients'
time, and you should respect their wishes in this case.
