Deeper analysis
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.
