Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-0790 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the web-based user interface of ALGO 8180 IP Audio Alerter devices. It allows remote attackers to access sensitive information without authentication by sending a direct request to a specific URL. The flaw results in unauthorized data disclosure within the context of the affected device, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) and is associated with CWE-425 (Direct Request ('Forced Browsing')).
Remote attackers with network access to the device can exploit this vulnerability without requiring user interaction, privileges, or authentication. By navigating to the crafted URL, they can retrieve sensitive information stored on the device, potentially exposing configuration details or other data that could aid further attacks.
The Zero Day Initiative published advisory ZDI-26-012 (formerly ZDI-CAN-28299) on this vulnerability, providing additional technical details. Security practitioners should consult this advisory for exploitation specifics and any recommended mitigations or patches from the vendor.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
AC-3 directly requires enforcement of authorizations for access to resources such as URLs, scripts, and files, structurally preventing forced browsing.
AC-24 requires that access-control decisions be applied to every request, addressing the missing enforcement on restricted URLs.
AC-6 requires restricting authorizations to the minimum needed, reducing the set of resources that must be protected against direct requests.

Security testing can detect forced-browsing flaws, but the control itself does not prevent them in production.
Information access restriction implements the technical enforcement that directly blocks unauthorized direct requests.
Access control policy directly requires authorization checks on all resources, preventing forced browsing.
Managing access rights ensures every URL/script/file is explicitly authorized, mitigating direct request attacks.
Privileged access rights control enforces least-privilege checks on restricted endpoints.
Secure SDLC can include authorization design, yet the control itself does not guarantee runtime enforcement.
