The VINCE  allows for you to anonymously report vulnerabilities! However, if you wish to participate in the coordination process, including discussions with vendors and researchers/reporters, then an account is required. VINCE was designed and created to encourage the interaction between vendors and reporters.  An potential benefit is that multi-vendor coordination efforts may become more cooperative – with vendors sharing information on how to mitigate the vulnerability.
