SCA: security update for Glances (GHSA-9jfm-9rc6-2hfq)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438837

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. Prior to version 4.5.2, the Glances REST
API web server ships with a default CORS configuration that sets `allow_origins=["*"]` combined with
`allow_credentials=True`. When both of these options are enabled together, Starlette's `CORSMiddleware`
reflects the requesting `Origin` header value in the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header instead
of returning the literal `*` wildcard. This effectively grants any website the ability to make
credentialed cross-origin API requests to the Glances server, enabling cross-site data theft of system
monitoring information, configuration secrets, and command line arguments from any user who has an active
browser session with a Glances instance. Version 4.5.2 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-32610)

Solution

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