AI-suggested

To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations should immediately upgrade Glances to version 4.5.1 or later, where the SQL injection flaw is fixed by proper escaping of special characters in SQL queries. If upgrading is temporarily not feasible, organizations should disable the TimescaleDB export module to prevent exposure. Additionally, implement strict input validation and sanitization on any user-controllable or external data sources feeding into Glances monitoring parameters. Restrict database user privileges associated with Glances to the minimum necessary, avoiding excessive permissions that could amplify damage from SQL injection. Monitor database logs for suspicious queries indicative of injection attempts. Employ network segmentation and access controls to limit exposure of the TimescaleDB instance. Regularly audit and update monitoring tools and dependencies to ensure timely application of security patches. Finally, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) or database activity monitoring solutions that can detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the monitoring infrastructure.

Description

CVE-2026-30930 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in the open-source system monitoring tool Glances, affecting versions prior to 4.5.1. The TimescaleDB export module improperly constructs SQL queries by concatenating unsanitized system monitoring data, such as process names or filesystem mount points, without escaping embedded single quotes. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious SQL commands, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the database. The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.3. It is fixed in Glances version 4.5.
