1. Introduction
This policy applies to Luigi Lavazza S.p.A., together with all the companies that are directly or indirectly controlled, directed and coordinated by Luigi Lavazza S.p.A.
This vulnerability disclosure policy applies to any vulnerabilities you are considering reporting to us, Lavazza. We recommend reading this vulnerability disclosure policy fully before you report a vulnerability and always acting in compliance with it.
We value those who take time and effort to report security vulnerabilities according to this policy. However, we do not offer monetary rewards for vulnerability disclosures.
Additionally, in Section 6, this policy states the minimum period of software and firmware support for connected coffee makers.
2. Reporting to Lavazza Group Companies
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability, please submit your report to us using the Contact us form on Lavazza website. Choose the option “Coffee machine technical assistance” in the “Reason for contact” box.
Contact us | Lavazza
In your report, please include details of:
- Coffee maker machine model, serial number where the vulnerability can be observed.
- A brief description of the type of vulnerability, for example: “XSS vulnerability”.
- Steps to reproduce. These should be benign, non-destructive, proof of concept. This helps to ensure the report can be triaged quickly and accurately. It also reduces the likelihood of duplicate reports, or malicious exploitation of some vulnerabilities, such as domain takeovers.
3. What to expect
After you have submitted your report, we will respond to your report within 5 working days and aim to triage your report within 10 working days. We’ll also aim to keep you informed of our progress.
Priority for remediation is assessed by looking at the impact, severity and exploit complexity. Vulnerability reports might take some time to triage or address. You are welcome to enquire on the status but should avoid doing so more than once every 14 days. This allows our teams to focus on the remediation.
We will notify you when the reported vulnerability has been resolved, we welcome requests to disclose your report. We’d like to unify guidance to affected users, so please continue to coordinate public release with us.
4. Guidance
You must NOT:
- Breach any applicable law or regulations.
- Access unnecessary, excessive or significant amounts of data.
- Modify data in the company’s systems or services.
- Use high-intensity invasive or destructive scanning tools to find vulnerabilities.
- Attempt or report any form of denial of service, e.g overwhelming a service with a high volume of requests.
- Disrupt the company’s services or systems.
- Submit reports detailing non-exploitable vulnerabilities, or reports indicating that the services do not fully align with “best practice”, for example missing security headers.
- Submit reports detailing TLS configuration weaknesses, for example “weak” cipher suite support or the presence of TLS1.0 support.
- Communicate any vulnerabilities or associated details other than by the means described in the published method.
- Social engineer, “phish” or physically attack the company’s staff or infrastructure.
- Demand financial compensation in order to disclose any vulnerabilities.
You must:
- Always comply with data protection rules and must not violate the privacy of the company’s users, staff, contractors, services or systems. You must not, for example, share, redistribute or fail to properly secure data retrieved from the systems or services.
- Securely delete all data retrieved during your research as soon as it is no longer required or within 1 month of the vulnerability being resolved, whichever occurs first (or otherwise required by data protection law).
5. Legalities
This policy is designed to be compatible with common vulnerability disclosure good practice. It does not give you permission to act in any manner that is inconsistent with the law, or which might cause the company or partner companies to be in breach of any legal obligations.
6. Coffee makers software and firmware support period
Coffee makers which use connected technology will be supported for software and firmware update as a minimum 5 years from the first supply date.
