CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Glances monitoring tool prior to version 4.5.6 is vulnerable due to the as_dict_secure() function, which inadequately checks option names, allowing unauthenticated access to sensitive information, including public usernames and credentials via specific API requests. This could lead to unauthorized access to system configurations and potential exploitation of the monitored systems. Organizations using Glances should prioritize upgrading to version 4.5.6 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, as_dict_secure() in glances/config.py checks only option names and exposes public_username and credentials embedded in public_api values through unauthenticated GET /api/4/config and GET /api/4/config/ip requests. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.
