This is all the information you need at this time.
What I will confirm is the author has made contact and I believe this will get resolved. I will give no time estimate- maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week/month I don't know. We all hope sooner than later of course.

No. You completely missed the point.
What we're saying is the email was totally worthless from an Administrative standpoint. It told me nothing other than the modification was quarantined. I could care less about the details of an exploit, but that email should have stated there was a security issue to lend credence to the notification.
We're not complaining about the lack of information about the exploit itself. We're complaining about the lack of information period. We should have been told WHY the modification was quarantined. This doesn't mean you have to go into the details of the exploit, but as an administrator, I can't make informed decisions on how my site is run when I get a half baked email like I received.
