- No response to 6 separate emails (sent from August 5, 2013 to September 2, 2014)
- No response to disclosure of the developer's name (listed on September 26, 2014) and product name and its version (listed on December 19, 2014) in "List of unreachable developers" page on JVN
- No response to Announcement of screening procedure for vulnerability disclosure (sent on October 26, 2015) - Existence of vulnerability has been verified

Arbitrary script execution on the user’s web browser was confirmed which violates the "Integrity" of the product. For verification details, refer to the "Verification" section. - Not disclosing this case may result in the risk that product users will have no means to know of the existence of the vulnerability in the product
In addition, users are permitted to copy, revise, or distribute the product. Therefore, the developer cannot directly contact all users of this product to notify of the cross-site scripting vulnerability. It was determined that disclosure of this vulnerability is legitimate under these conditions. - There are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate
After considering the developer's stance and the risk to product users, the committee has judged that there are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate or that disclosure may cause any other issues.
