    Hi.
    The site Developerstore.com expose critical customer
    information, this happen because it's doesn't check
    user inputs, allowing sql inyection and cross site
    scripting.
    
    Regards.

    To: webappsecat_private,
    focus-msat_private 
    
    4)webappsecat_private publish the post.
    
    The focus-msat_private moderator tell me
    :
    Hi,
    
    Can you post this to Bugtraq instead?  It's a more
    appropriate forum for
    this sort of thing.
    
    Cheers,

    i mistake, so i decided post to
    vuln-devat_private
    
    
    5)Blue Boar held the post, he contacted Microsoft, and
    they removed the script. They take the entire site
    down!.
    
    
    Why i did the post?: 
     It was a critical hole. It took me 10 seconds to find
    it. And it would take 10 or more seconds to fix it.
     I contacted microsoft and more than 12 hours later
    they haven't fix it. What i were suposed to did? Wait
    days, months maybe years until microsoft fix it. And
    in that time the site will continue exposing customer
    info. I think that i could get what i want : the site
    fixed quickly, that was all i wanted!. Maybe some
    people are more quite when they don't know that this
    kind of holes exist and they are activily exploited. I
    think that microsoft or the company responsable never
    say "we are sorry, it was our mistake, we only want
    your money and quickly, we haven't time to do that,
    where do you want to go tomorrow?", instead of that
    they try to focus the atention in other direccion
    confusing people. We have to see only the facts and
    get our own conclusions.
    
    It seems that the post cause some undesired efects
    (Websleuth removed from OWASP, etc.), i'm really sorry
    it was not my intention.
    
    Sorry if you don't understand what i tried to say,
    english it's not my native language.
    Regards.
