CVE-2026-34839
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to version 4.5.4, the Glances web server exposes a REST API (`/api/4/*`) that is accessible without authentication and allows cross-origin requests from any origin due to a permissive CORS policy (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`). This allows a malicious website to read sensitive system information from a running Glances instance in the victim’s browser, leading to cross-origin data exfiltration. While a previous advisory exists for XML-RPC CORS issues, this report demonstrates that the REST API (`/api/4/*`) is also affected and exposes significantly more sensitive data. Version 4.5.4 patches the issue.

"value": "Glances es una herramienta de monitoreo de sistema de código abierto multiplataforma. Antes de la versión 4.5.4, el servidor web de Glances expone una API REST (’/api/4/*’) que es accesible sin autenticación y permite solicitudes de origen cruzado desde cualquier origen debido a una política CORS permisiva (’Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *’). Esto permite a un sitio web malicioso leer información sensible del sistema de una instancia de Glances en ejecución en el navegador de la víctima, lo que lleva a la exfiltración de datos de origen cruzado. Aunque existe un aviso anterior para problemas de CORS de XML-RPC, este informe demuestra que la API REST (’/api/4/*’) también está afectada y expone datos significativamente más sensibles. La versión 4.5.4 corrige el problema."
