Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-0789 is an information disclosure issue in the ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter web interface. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to obtain sensitive information, including an authentication cookie exposed in a response body. Business urgency is moderate and highest where these devices’ web interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks.
Executive priority
Treat as a near-term vulnerability management item, not an emergency absent internet exposure or exploitation evidence. Prioritize devices in public-facing or less trusted network zones, because leaked authentication material could support follow-on access.
Technical view
The flaw is CWE-200 in ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter version 5.5. ZDI describes improper management of sensitive information in the web UI, allowing unauthenticated network access to disclose information in the device context. CVSS is 5.3, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations running ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices, specifically version 5.5 per the provided record. Risk increases if the device web UI is reachable from the internet, guest networks, or broad internal segments.
Exploitation context
The sources state authentication is not required and exploitation is remote over the network. The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. No public exploit status is provided.
Researcher notes
Available detail is sparse. The record attributes the issue to response-body exposure of an authentication cookie in the web UI. Do not assume other ALGO models or firmware versions are affected unless vendor guidance confirms it.
Mitigation direction
- Identify all ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices and firmware versions.
- Restrict web UI access to trusted management networks only.
- Check ALGO and ZDI guidance for firmware updates or official remediation.
- After remediation, invalidate active sessions and review administrative access hygiene.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether any ALGO 8180 devices run firmware version 5.5.
- Verify the web UI is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review vendor advisories for the fixed version or configuration guidance.
- Check logs for unusual unauthenticated web UI access attempts.

Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
