SCA: security update for glances (GHSA-fp27-88fp-2phg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446005

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 4.5.6, the cors_origins guard in
glances/outputs/glances_restful_api.py uses exact list equality instead of wildcard membership, allowing a
multi-origin list containing the wildcard to retain cors_credentials and expose authenticated REST API
data to an untrusted website visited by a previously authenticated user. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.
(CVE-2026-68517)

Solution

Update the glances library and its related packages to version 4.5.6 or later.
