GHSA-qhj7-v7h7-q4c7: glances (CVE-2026-33641)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
glances	PyPI	<4.5.3	4.5.3

Machine-written summary

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

Glances versions before 4.5.3 are vulnerable to command injection through dynamic configuration values: text enclosed in backticks in a configuration value is executed as a system command when the value is read. An attacker who can modify or influence Glances configuration files can run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Glances process, which may mean privilege escalation if it runs as a privileged service. Upgrade to Glances 4.5.3 or later.
