Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Glances versions before 4.5.6 are affected. With the --disable-config-exec flag set, configured on-alert action commands still interpret the shell operators >, && and |, so a local user who can edit the configuration file could cause arbitrary file writes or chained commands with the privileges of the glances process when an alert fires. Upgrade to Glances 4.5.6, which is the listed fixed version.
