CVE-2026-46611 Details
Description
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.5, the Glances XML-RPC server (glances -s, implemented in glances/server.py) does not validate the HTTP Host header, leaving it vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks. An attacker can exploit DNS rebinding to exfiltrate the full system monitoring dataset from a victim's browser. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.5.
A vulnerability in the Glances XML-RPC server (activated with 'glances -s') prior to version 4.5.5, allows DNS rebinding attacks by failing to validate the HTTP Host header. This oversight enables an attacker to exfiltrate the complete system monitoring dataset from a victim's browser. The issue arises because the server accepts any Host value without verification, combined with an unrestricted Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, allowing the response to be read by the browser.
Users can upgrade to Glances version 4.5.5 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
