SCA: security update for Glances (GHSA-x46r-mf5g-xpr6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438546

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 4.5.1, The TimescaleDB export
 module constructs SQL queries using string concatenation with unsanitized system monitoring data. The
 normalize() method wraps string values in single quotes but does not escape embedded single quotes, making
 SQL injection trivial via attacker-controlled data such as process names, filesystem mount points, network
 interface names, or container names. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.1. (CVE-2026-30930)

Solution

Update the Glances library and its related packages to version 4.5.1 or later.
