CVE-2026-35588: CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in nicolargo glances
CVE-2026-35588 is a medium severity SQL injection vulnerability in the open-source monitoring tool Glances prior to version 4. 5. 4. The issue exists in the Cassandra export module where configuration values for keyspace, table, and replication_factor are directly interpolated into CQL statements without validation. This allows a user with write access to the glances. conf file to redirect monitoring data to an attacker-controlled Cassandra keyspace. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4. 5. 4.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Glances versions before 4.5.4 contain an SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) in the Cassandra export module (glances/exports/glances_cassandra/__init__.py). The module improperly neutralizes special elements by directly inserting configuration parameters (keyspace, table, replication_factor) into CQL queries without validation. This flaw enables an attacker with write permissions on the glances.conf configuration file to manipulate CQL commands, potentially redirecting monitoring data to a malicious Cassandra keyspace. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.3, indicating medium severity. Version 4.5.4 includes a fix for this issue.
Potential Impact
An attacker with write access to the Glances configuration file can exploit this vulnerability to perform SQL injection attacks against the Cassandra export module. This could lead to unauthorized redirection of monitoring data to attacker-controlled Cassandra keyspaces, resulting in confidentiality and integrity impacts. Availability impact is low. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.4 or later, which contains a fix for this vulnerability. Since the vulnerability requires write access to the glances.conf file, restrict write permissions to this configuration file to trusted users only. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning information indicating the fix is present in 4.5.4.
