CVE-2026-32609 Details
Description
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. The GHSA-gh4x fix (commit 5d3de60) addressed unauthenticated configuration secrets exposure on the `/api/v4/config` endpoints by introducing `as_dict_secure()` redaction. However, the `/api/v4/args` and `/api/v4/args/{item}` endpoints were not addressed by this fix. These endpoints return the complete command-line arguments namespace via `vars(self.args)`, which includes the password hash (salt + pbkdf2_hmac), SNMP community strings, SNMP authentication keys, and the configuration file path. When Glances runs without `--password` (the default), these endpoints are accessible without any authentication. Version 4.5.2 provides a more complete fix.
A vulnerability in Glances, an open-source cross-platform system monitoring tool, allows for the unauthenticated exposure of sensitive configuration secrets through the '/api/v4/args' and '/api/v4/args/{item}' endpoints. These endpoints leak the complete command-line arguments namespace, including the password hash, SNMP community strings, authentication keys, and the configuration file path. This issue arises when Glances is run without a password, the default setting, making these endpoints accessible without authentication.
Users should update to Glances version 4.5.2, which addresses this vulnerability by redacting sensitive fields in unauthenticated API responses. Instructions for downloading the latest version are available on the Glances GitHub releases page.
