About Algosolutions 8180 Ip Audio Alerter Firmware
CVE-2026-0789 affects Algosolutions 8180 Ip Audio Alerter Firmware, a product from Algosolutions. Before acting, confirm where Algosolutions 8180 Ip Audio Alerter Firmware runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter Web UI Inclusion of Authentication Cookie in Response Body 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. The issue results from the lack of proper management of sensitive information. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the device. Was ZDI-CAN-28297.
The weakness class is Information Exposure. Sensitive information is shown to someone who should not see it.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs no login, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.
