DescriptionCVE.org

ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter API Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the API interface. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the device. Was ZDI-CAN-28294.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices are vulnerable to remote code execution via API command injection, allowing attackers to gain complete control of affected systems without authentication. This poses an immediate threat to organizations using these devices for emergency communications, mass notification, or facility management, potentially compromising critical alert infrastructure and enabling lateral movement into the network.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Implement network segmentation restricting API access to trusted administrative networks only; deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block command injection patterns in API requests; disable unnecessary API endpoints if supported by device firmware; restrict device management access via IP whitelisting; enable audit logging on all API calls; consider disabling remote management features until patch is available; implement real-time network monitoring for anomalous ALGO 8180 device behavior.

Attack Technique

OS command injection occurs when an application passes unsanitized user input directly into system shell commands.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
