Understanding Free and Open Source Software and vulnerability scanners

The LDD platform, where LPM resides, uses Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). We review the FOSS and monitor sites for publicly known cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

When a vulnerability is detected, the code is refactored and the components are replaced. Patches are prepared, and then released.

Numerous vulnerabilities are related to older versions of the web server software. Hotfixes and patches issued for Apache, Tomcat, or OpenSSL are included in the next version of LDD. We recommend updating to the latest version of LDD when available.

Various vulnerability scanners are used on LPM. These tools analyze the product and the source code to identify known vulnerabilities and weaknesses. The findings are categorized using the following rating system that varies for each printer:

The scanning software reports issues found in the server operating system and the software that are installed on it. Some of these issues are not directly LPM issues. We recommended applying the latest updates and patches from Windows Update and software vendors.
