Subject: Sql Injection big5 consultancy

I would report it to them.  It accomplishes several things; it
establishes your credibility vis a vis your qualifications, it
establishes your *honesty* (you were willing to warn them rather than
take advantage of it), it gives you an opportunity to see how *they*
will react when you warn them of an exploitable hole (do you really want
to work for a company that would ignore such obvious blunders?) and it
places you head and shoulders above their existing staff.
