The company quickly fixed the exposure after I contacted them but never bothered to reply back to any of my emails.

Vulnerability Database
https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu

"Access to reliable and timely information about vulnerabilities affecting Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products and services contributes to an enhanced cybersecurity risk management. Sources of publicly available information about vulnerabilities are an important tool for users of these services, competent authorities, and the broader cybersecurity community. ENISA has established a European Vulnerability Database (EUVD) where entities, regardless of whether they fall within the scope of the NIS2 Directive, and their suppliers of network and information systems, as well as competent authorities, most notably CSIRTs, can voluntarily disclose and register publicly known vulnerabilities to allow users to take appropriate mitigating measures."
