CVE-2026-7251
Eppendorf BioFlo 320 laboratory equipment is vulnerable because its VNC server uses a hard‑coded password. A remote attacker who knows the device’s network address can log in and control the entire user interface, and the VNC traffic is not encrypted.
No official fix yet. If none appears within 45 days of first tracking, this entry is removed automatically.
Who is affected
Eppendorf BioFlo 320 devices with remote access enabled.
Real-world impact
An attacker could take full control of the device’s control panel, potentially altering or stopping processes, and could see all VNC traffic.
Why this severity
The CVSS score of 9.3 reflects the high impact of full control (availability, integrity, confidentiality) combined with low attack complexity and no user interaction.
What to do about it
- ›Block or disable VNC remote access to the device
