Cybersecurity

Labconco is committed to the security of our products, software, and IT systems. We welcome reports from security researchers, customers, partners, and anyone else who believes they have found a vulnerability.

This page describes our Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) policy: what it covers, how to report an issue, what we ask of researchers, and what you can expect from us. The policy supports our obligations under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) and follows the principles of ISO/IEC 29147 (vulnerability disclosure) and ISO/IEC 30111 (vulnerability handling).

Scope

This policy covers vulnerabilities in:

  • Labconco products with digital elements, including connected equipment, controllers, firmware, embedded software, and companion applications

  • Labconco IT infrastructure and online services, including labconco.com

Reports are welcome for any current Labconco product, regardless of service contract status. Third-party products, platforms, and services are outside this policy unless they are built into a Labconco product. If you are unsure whether something is in scope, or plan testing that could affect a live product or system, contact us first.

How to Report a Vulnerability

The form below and [email protected] are Labconco's single point of contact for vulnerability reports. Use whichever you prefer. No account, contract, or non-disclosure agreement is needed, and you may report anonymously, either directly or through a national CSIRT.

To help us investigate quickly, please include as much of the following as you can:

  • The affected product, model, and firmware or software version, or the affected system or web address

  • A clear description of the vulnerability and its potential impact

  • Steps to reproduce the issue

  • Supporting evidence such as screenshots, logs, or proof-of-concept code

  • Whether the vulnerability is already publicly known

  • How you would like us to contact you, if at all

Please do not include personal data, passwords, or other confidential information unless it is essential, and mask any sensitive data in screenshots or logs. If a report must include sensitive details, email us first and we will arrange a secure way to send them.

Guidelines for Security Research

When researching Labconco products or systems, we ask that you:

  • Act in good faith and comply with applicable laws

  • Test only as much as needed to confirm the vulnerability

  • Avoid harming Labconco customers, users, partners, or other third parties, and respect their privacy

  • Avoid disrupting products or systems in use by customers

  • Give us reasonable time to resolve the issue before sharing any details publicly

The following are not permitted:

  • Denial-of-service attacks or testing that degrades availability

  • Accessing, copying, changing, or deleting data beyond what is needed to show the issue

  • Installing persistent access, malware, or backdoors

  • Destructive tools or techniques

  • Social engineering, phishing, or physical attacks against Labconco employees, facilities, or customers

Our Good-Faith Commitment

Labconco considers research carried out in good faith and in line with this policy to be a responsible contribution to the security of our products and systems. We will treat your report and personal information confidentially and will not share your identity without your permission, except where required by law or regulation.

What Happens After You Report

  1. Acknowledgment. We will acknowledge receipt of your report as promptly as practicable.

  2. Assessment. We will review the report, attempt to reproduce the issue where appropriate, and contact you if additional information is required.

  3. Remediation. Our teams will evaluate confirmed vulnerabilities based on severity, potential impact, and risk, and will develop appropriate corrective or mitigating measures. Where applicable, Labconco will make required regulatory notifications in accordance with applicable law.

  4. Disclosure. Where appropriate, we will coordinate disclosure and communicate available fixes, mitigations, or other recommended actions to affected users.

Response and remediation times depend on the severity and complexity of the issue, the availability of a fix, and the risk to users.

Coordinated Disclosure

Please do not publish details of a vulnerability until we have agreed on a disclosure date together. This gives us time to protect customers before the information becomes public. We coordinate disclosure based on the severity of the vulnerability, availability of an effective fix or mitigation, exploitation risk, potential customer impact, and applicable legal requirements.

When we publish a security advisory, it will typically include:

  • A description of the vulnerability, with a CVE identifier and severity rating where applicable

  • The affected products and versions

  • Recommended fixes, workarounds, or mitigations

  • Where to get any available updates

With your permission, we are glad to credit you in the advisory.
