MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions — remote unauthenticated exploitation against ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices with default configurations. SAC module must be accessible over network. |
| Impact | CVSS 9.8, EPSS 0.68%. IP audio alerters are used for emergency notifications in buildings, schools, and hospitals. Compromising these devices could disable emergency alerts or trigger false alarms. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker injects commands through the SAC interface to take control of the audio alerter, potentially disabling emergency notifications during a real emergency or triggering mass panic with false alerts. |

DescriptionCVE.org
ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter SAC 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 not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the SAC module. 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-28296.
Executive ViewAI
ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices in our environment are vulnerable to remote code execution with a 9.8 CRITICAL severity rating and 70% exploit probability. An attacker can gain complete control of affected devices without authentication, potentially compromising emergency communication systems and enabling lateral network access. This requires immediate action as no vendor patch is currently available.
Network segmentation: restrict ALGO 8180 devices to isolated VLANs with strict ingress/egress rules; disable WAN access where operationally feasible. WAF/IPS rules: block SAC command injection patterns targeting these devices. Disable non-essential remote management features and change default credentials. Implement network-based anomaly detection for unusual command sequences. Increase logging and monitoring for device access. Document workarounds for critical alert functions until patch availability. Monitor ALGO vendor advisories and CISA alerts weekly for patch release.

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.
