Problem

Scenario

You uncover a critical vulnerability during a client security assessment, and the issue could expose sensitive data if exploited. The finding is technically severe, but remediation will require coordination across engineering, infrastructure, and business stakeholders who may be hesitant to disrupt production systems. You need to make sure the risk is understood, acted on quickly, and tracked through closure without losing stakeholder trust.

Question

Describe a time you discovered a critical vulnerability in a client's system. How did you communicate the risk and drive remediation?
