Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.6 or later, where this SQL injection vulnerability is fixed. The vendor has released an official patch that properly sanitizes input data in the TimescaleDB export module. No other mitigation is required once the update is applied.
Description
Glances, an open-source cross-platform system monitoring tool, has a SQL injection vulnerability in its TimescaleDB export module prior to version 4.5.6. The vulnerability arises because the module constructs SQL queries by concatenating unsanitized system data such as process names, which can include attacker-controlled input. The normalize() method attempts to wrap strings in single quotes but fails to escape embedded quotes, enabling trivial SQL injection. This flaw is fixed in version 4.5.6.
