One was subject to a basic SQL injection attack to log in to their 
customer side, and the other was displaying ASP code in the page that
listed not only various function definitions, but login, URL and 
passwords (including sa) for their database.

Sounds like the managers in question aren't realizing that the problem
with sql injection isn't *just* that their data is exposed, but that
sql injection *is* code injection. And code can be wrangled to do
anything. For example on a ms sql box you could run xp_cmdshell or
create activex objects, etc, etc, etc. It's a buffer overflow without
the need to find the buffer!

Chances are also good that the sa password you uncovered is also a
password for some other juicy admin account...
