Disclosure Timeline
==========================

- May 2014. I enrolled in an online course. They sent me an email
confirmation  to see more information. I found a XSS in the URL where vmware
had the  additional info.
- Report vuln May 20, 2014 via email to desktop-services@vmware.com
- Asked by email to send a POC. I sent a video with the POC.
- May 21, 2014. Asked by email to send the original email.
- May 23, 2014. Replied by email that the original address
(vmwareforum@delegate.com) does not belong to them, then vmware.com is not
affected. I said them that the vuln was about info.vmware.com, it was  not
the email address.
- Asked by email to go ahead and close this case on my behalf.
- Closed as fixed, still vulnerable.
