CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The vulnerability in Glances affects the execution of on-alert action commands, where the --disable-config-exec option is ignored, allowing for potential command injection through shell operators. This could lead to unauthorized command execution when alerts are triggered, posing a significant risk to system integrity. Organizations using versions prior to 4.5.6 should prioritize updating to mitigate this high-severity risk.

Original NVD Description

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, GlancesActions.run() in glances/actions.py ignores --disable-config-exec for on-alert action commands and invokes secure_popen() with shell operators enabled, allowing configured redirection, command chaining, or pipes to execute when an alert triggers. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.
