CVE-2026-68518 | BDVDB-2026-360617 Detail

nicolargoglances

Description#

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, _sanitize_mustache_dict() in glances/actions.py sanitizes individual Mustache values before chevron.render(), allowing adjacent unescaped Mustache variables to reconstruct shell operators that secure_popen() executes when attacker-controlled process or container fields are rendered by an administrator-configured action template. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.

Impact#

Per CVSS v4.0: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact high, availability impact high. Attack vector: local.

Weaknesses#
