CVE-2026-68517

Glances before 4.5.6 has a vulnerability in as_dict_secure() in glances/config.py that checks only option names and exposes public_username and credentials embedded in public_api values through unauthenticated GET /api/4/config and GET /api/4/config/ip requests.

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, GlancesActions.run() in glances/actions.py ignores --disable-config-exec for on-alert action commands and invokes secure_popen() with shell operators enabled, allowing configured redirection, command chaining, or pipes to execute when an alert triggers. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. From 4.5.2 until 4.5.6, _sanitize_mustache_dict() in glances/actions.py skips nested list and dictionary strings such as process cmdline values, allowing pipe characters to survive chevron.render() and be executed by secure_popen() through administrator-configured action templates. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.

Glances before version 4.5.6 has a vulnerability in _sanitize_mustache_dict() in glances/actions.py that sanitizes individual Mustache values before chevron.render(), allowing adjacent unescaped Mustache variables to reconstruct shell operators that secure_popen() executes when attacker-controlled process or container fields are rendered by an administrator-configured action template. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.

Glances is a system monitoring tool that, from versions 4.0.8 to 4.5.5, has a vulnerability in the secure_popen() function. This function interprets redirection, pipe, and command chaining operators without validation, allowing unauthorized actions on the system.

Glances is a system monitoring tool that prior to version 4.5.5 used pickle.load() to read a version-check cache file. The lack of integrity checks and format validation before deserialization allows an attacker with access to this file to plant a malicious pickle file, leading to arbitrary code execution.
