CVE-2026-30928 — Glances Exposes Unauthenticated Configuration Secrets

2026-10-02T10:24:28.812473+00:00

Affected: nicolargo glances

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.1, the /api/4/config REST API endpoint returns the entire parsed Glances configuration file (glances.conf) via self.config.as_dict() with no filtering of sensitive values. The configuration file contains credentials for all configured backend services including database passwords, API tokens, JWT signing keys, and SSL key passwords. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.1.

GHSA-gh4x-f7cq-wwx6 — Glances Exposes Unauthenticated Configuration Secrets

2026-10-02T10:24:28.812688+00:00

Affected: PyPI: Glances

### Summary The /api/4/config REST API endpoint returns the entire parsed Glances configuration file (glances.conf) via self.config.as_dict() with no filtering of sensitive values. The configuration file contains credentials for all configured backend services including database passwords, API tokens, JWT signing keys, and SSL key passwords.

### Details Root Cause: The as_dict() method in config.py iterates over every section and every key in the ConfigParser and returns them all as a flat dictionary. No sensitive key filtering or redaction is applied.
