Please let me repeat: What I know is not a security problem, but it is the basic pattern how the iLiad communicates with the iDS server.
I would basically describe the protocol used. Think about all the Yahoo! IM chat clones out there. Are they a security threat to Yahoo? No. But they use the underlying Yahoo! IM protocol to establish connections through the Yahoo network.
As ath pointed out, some people might start digging around the protocol to find possible security holes and exploits. But this is always the case when information is revealed. As soon as iRex will release the iLiad SDK and the source files, new information is out, and likewise people will examine these files for possible exploits.
I don't see a reason to talk to the iRex guys, because it's nothing new to them - they should know best how the protocol works, and I have nothing else to add to it.
