So, what would you do?

Write to the vendor and announce the publication of the preliminary
results within, say, two weeks, and rely on Full Disclosure forcing
the vendor to provide a fix.  (However, there might be constraints in
your license contracts which could make this illegal.)

I'm surprised that this aspect of Full Disclosure is still necessary
today.
