CVE-2026-68518
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the system if an administrator uses a configured action template with attacker-controlled data.
Recommendation
Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.6 or later.
Original NVD description (English source)
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, _sanitize_mustache_dict() in glances/actions.py 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.
