Also if you do get a report, it would be a good idea to keep an eye on the bugtraq and full disclosure mailing lists: http://seclists.org/ http://seclists.org/

where many vulnerabilities are released to the public. This is in case the reporter goes public without you knowing it.
Also it's a good idea to look the list over and see what types of vulnerabilities are hitting applications. Don't just fix a single reported exploit and call it a day. Find out what else could be wrong security wise with your code and fix those issues as well.

To further your suggestion, if it's reported that some of your user-input variables aren't being escaped then you better check the rest of the unreported ones, too. And not just in that single file/controller/view/whatever! (EDIT: Or whatever the root-cause of the vulnerability is)
