SCA: security update for glances (GHSA-grp3-h8m8-45p7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440707

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 4.5.4, the Cassandra
 export module (`glances/exports/glances_cassandra/__init__.py`) interpolates `keyspace`, `table`, and
 `replication_factor` configuration values directly into CQL statements without validation. A user with
 write access to `glances.conf` can redirect all monitoring data to an attacker-controlled Cassandra
 keyspace. Version 4.5.4 contains a fix. (CVE-2026-35588)

Solution

Update the glances library and its related packages to version 4.5.4 or later.
