SCA: security update for Glances (GHSA-cvwp-r2g2-j824)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 438845

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-gh4x fix (commit 5d3de60)
 addressed unauthenticated configuration secrets exposure on the `/api/v4/config` endpoints by introducing
 `as_dict_secure()` redaction. However, the `/api/v4/args` and `/api/v4/args/{item}` endpoints were not
 addressed by this fix. These endpoints return the complete command-line arguments namespace via
 `vars(self.args)`, which includes the password hash (salt + pbkdf2_hmac), SNMP community strings, SNMP
 authentication keys, and the configuration file path. When Glances runs without `--password` (the
 default), these endpoints are accessible without any authentication. Version 4.5.2 provides a more
 complete fix. (CVE-2026-32609)

Solution

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