Ivan, Did you state this general rule as a common sense thought? I would like to know the source of this rule, because I have seen a similar thought in a TERENA's paper www.terena.nl/activities/tf-csirt/ meeting12/legal-issues-Schuurman.pdf (although, they state a little different disclosure issue) Javier
It all depends on what is your agreement with your customer. Typically if you are doing a penetration test for a customer and you stumble upon a new vulnerability, what you do with that information is your customer's call. The general rule of thumb is: disclosure policies are superseded by contractual obligations; contractual obligations are superseded by the law. -ivan
