DescriptionCVE.org

ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter Web UI 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 web-based user 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-28322.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices are vulnerable to remote code execution attacks that could allow attackers to gain complete control of affected systems without authentication. Organizations using these devices for emergency communications or facility alerts face potential service disruption and unauthorized access to network infrastructure.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Network segmentation: restrict ALGO 8180 web UI access to dedicated management VLAN with multi-factor authentication gateways. Disable remote management features if not operationally required. Deploy WAF rules to block command injection patterns in web requests. Implement continuous monitoring and alerting for suspicious HTTP POST requests to the device web interface. Consider air-gapping devices or placing behind bastion host with strict access logging.

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.
