SCA: security update for Glances (GHSA-49g7-2ww7-3vf5)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438833

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. The GHSA-x46r fix (commit 39161f0)
addressed SQL injection in the TimescaleDB export module by converting all SQL operations to use
parameterized queries and `psycopg.sql` composable objects. However, the DuckDB export module
(`glances/exports/glances_duckdb/__init__.py`) was not included in this fix and contains the same class of
vulnerability: table names and column names derived from monitoring statistics are directly interpolated
into SQL statements via f-strings. While DuckDB INSERT values already use parameterized queries (`?`
placeholders), the DDL construction and table name references do not escape or parameterize identifier
names. Version 4.5.3 provides a more complete fix. (CVE-2026-32611)

Solution

Update the Glances library and its related packages to version 4.5.2 or later.
