Subject: Vendor casual towards vulnerability found in product

> 1. Would an exploit like this be said to be severe?  

yes i assume from your email that the url would have to recofig the server from the scratch then not serious but if any file can be deleted then it is serious 

> 2. Is the vendor right in their approach to this issue?

no, the vendor should release a full advisory about this and at a minimum release the patch for this

google around the rain forest puppy's disclosure policy for this, it is really good for this

don't make it public without giving all the people affected a chance to protect their system, however you may release something like a one line description of this and *not* give details to anyone except the vendor
