AI-suggested

Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched. The vendor advisory confirms that version 4.5.4 addresses the issue by restricting access to the REST API and correcting the CORS policy. No additional mitigation steps are required if the software is updated.

Description

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to version 4.5.4, the Glances web server exposes a REST API (`/api/4/*`) that is accessible without authentication and allows cross-origin requests from any origin due to a permissive CORS policy (`Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`). This allows a malicious website to read sensitive system information from a running Glances instance in the victim’s browser, leading to cross-origin data exfiltration. While a previous advisory exists for XML-RPC CORS issues, this report demonstrates that the REST API (`/api/4/*`) is also affected and exposes significantly more sensitive data. Version 4.5.4 patches the issue.
