AI-suggested

Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.6 or later, where the vulnerability has been fixed. The patch is available and should be applied promptly to prevent exploitation.

Description

Glances versions prior to 4.5.6 contain a vulnerability in the action-template sanitizer where nested list and dictionary strings are not properly sanitized. This allows pipe characters to bypass the sanitizer and be executed via administrator-configured action templates. The issue is fixed in version 4.5.6.
