Just like any other software vulnerability.

First, no one will believe it is possible.  So you demonstrate that you
can hack the system.

Two, the vendor and management will claim that either you used inside
information not available to an attacker, or that criminals are too
dumb to duplicate what you did.  So you put your concerns in a memo as
an "I Told You So".

Three, while everyone is in denial there will be mysterious and
unexplained disappeances.  Everyone if baffled.

Four, some high profile site will publicly succumb to this attack.
Everyone involved will proclaim they had no idea such a thing was
possible, your memo has been shredded.
