CVE-2026-32609
March 18, 2026
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.
