Problem

Scenario

You discover a critical vulnerability in a production application and need to respond quickly without creating unnecessary customer impact or confusion. The issue is severe enough that you may need to restrict functionality, deploy an emergency fix, or coordinate a broader incident response while keeping leadership and partner teams aligned.

Question

Explain a time when you found a critical vulnerability in a production application. How did you handle it?
