Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Glances versions 4.5.2 up to but not including 4.5.6 are vulnerable to OS command injection. An attacker who can start a local process with chosen command-line arguments can get that text into an alert action command when the admin's action template renders a nested field such as the process cmdline, which can run commands in the Glances process context, commonly root. Upgrade to Glances 4.5.6. The source gives no workaround beyond avoiding templates that render nested stat fields.
