CVE-2026-32632 Details
Description
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Glances recently added DNS rebinding protection for the MCP endpoint, but prior to version 4.5.2, the main REST/WebUI FastAPI application still accepts arbitrary `Host` headers and does not apply `TrustedHostMiddleware` or an equivalent host allowlist. As a result, the REST API, WebUI, and token endpoint remain reachable through attacker-controlled domains in classic DNS rebinding scenarios. Once the victim browser has rebound the attacker domain to the Glances service, same-origin policy no longer protects the API because the browser considers the rebinding domain to be the origin. This is a distinct issue from the previously reported default CORS weakness. CORS is not required for exploitation here because DNS rebinding causes the victim browser to treat the malicious domain as same-origin with the rebinding target. Version 4.5.2 contains a patch for the issue.
A vulnerability exists in the Glances monitoring tool's REST/WebUI FastAPI application, prior to version 4.5.2, allowing DNS rebinding attacks. The application accepts arbitrary 'Host' headers without validation and lacks a host allowlist, leaving the REST API, WebUI, and token endpoint accessible through attacker-controlled domains. This exposure allows the same-origin policy to be bypassed, enabling attackers to read API responses as if they originated from the same domain.
Users should update to Glances version 4.5.2 or later, and configure the 'webui_allowed_hosts' setting in 'glances.conf' to restrict accepted Host header values. For public-facing deployments, it is recommended to use a reverse proxy with TLS and authentication.
