📄 Description (English)
ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter Web UI Direct Request Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the web-based user interface. By navigating directly to a URL, a user can gain unauthorized access to data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the device. Was ZDI-CAN-28299.
🤖 AI Executive Summary
CVE-2026-0790 is a high-severity unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability in ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices affecting firmware version 5.5. Attackers can directly access sensitive information through the web UI without authentication, potentially exposing device configuration, network details, and operational data. This poses significant risk to Saudi organizations using these devices for emergency alerting and public address systems.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
Saudi government agencies (NCA, Ministry of Interior), healthcare facilities (MOH hospitals), educational institutions, and critical infrastructure operators using ALGO 8180 devices for emergency notification systems are at risk. The vulnerability could expose network topology, device credentials, system configuration, and operational schedules. Banking sector and ARAMCO facilities using these devices for facility management and emergency alerting face potential reconnaissance attacks. Telecom operators (STC, Mobily) managing network infrastructure with these devices could have their network architecture exposed.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
IMMEDIATE ACTIONS:
1. Identify all ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices in your network using network scanning tools
2. Isolate affected devices (firmware 5.5) from untrusted networks or implement network segmentation
3. Restrict web UI access using firewall rules to authorized IP addresses only
4. Disable remote web access if not operationally required
PATCHING:
5. Apply firmware update to version 5.6 or later immediately from ALGO Solutions
6. Test patches in non-production environment before deployment
7. Document all patched devices and maintain inventory
COMPENSATING CONTROLS (if patching delayed):
8. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block direct URL access patterns
9. Deploy reverse proxy with authentication layer in front of device web UI
10. Monitor access logs for suspicious direct URL requests to sensitive endpoints
11. Implement network-level access controls via VPN/jump hosts
DETECTION:
12. Monitor for HTTP requests to /config, /settings, /status endpoints without authentication
13. Alert on direct IP access attempts to device web interface
14. Track failed authentication attempts and unusual access patterns
15. Implement IDS signatures for ALGO 8180 exploitation attempts
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
1. تحديد جميع أجهزة ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter في شبكتك باستخدام أدوات المسح
2. عزل الأجهزة المتأثرة (البرنامج الثابت 5.5) عن الشبكات غير الموثوقة أو تطبيق تقسيم الشبكة
3. تقييد الوصول إلى واجهة الويب باستخدام قواعد جدار الحماية للعناوين المصرح بها فقط
4. تعطيل الوصول البعيد إلى واجهة الويب إذا لم يكن مطلوباً تشغيلياً
التصحيح:
5. تطبيق تحديث البرنامج الثابت إلى الإصدار 5.6 أو أحدث فوراً من ALGO Solutions
6. اختبار التصحيحات في بيئة غير الإنتاج قبل النشر
7. توثيق جميع الأجهزة المصححة والحفاظ على المخزون
الضوابط البديلة (إذا تأخر التصحيح):
8. تطبيق قواعد جدار تطبيقات الويب (WAF) لحظر أنماط الوصول المباشر للعناوين
9. نشر وكيل عكسي مع طبقة مصادقة أمام واجهة ويب الجهاز
10. مراقبة سجلات الوصول للطلبات المريبة للوصول المباشر إلى نقاط النهاية الحساسة
11. تطبيق عناصر تحكم الوصول على مستوى الشبكة عبر VPN/أجهزة القفز
الكشف:
12. مراقبة طلبات HTTP إلى نقاط النهاية /config و /settings و /status بدون مصادقة
13. تنبيه محاولات الوصول المباشر بعنوان IP إلى واجهة ويب الجهاز
14. تتبع محاولات المصادقة الفاشلة والأنماط غير العادية
15. تطبيق توقيعات IDS لمحاولات استغلال ALGO 8180
