Employee Portal Vulnerability

Hello to everyone,
Just thought I'd let you all in on a recent discovery I made with regards to Employee Portal.
When the webparts are writing out data from Navision they process html tags, and do not write them out as plain text. This unfortunately could allow malicious scripts to be run.
eg. If someone enters
in the customer name in the customer card webpart then the Customer List will show Some Name formatted with the h1 tags.
How does this get reported to Microsoft so that it can be corrected?
