CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The Glances monitoring tool prior to version 4.5.6 is vulnerable due to improper handling of CORS origins, allowing untrusted websites to access authenticated REST API data through retained credentials. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure for users who have previously authenticated. Organizations using Glances for system monitoring should prioritize upgrading to version 4.5.6 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, the cors_origins guard in glances/outputs/glances_restful_api.py uses exact list equality instead of wildcard membership, allowing a multi-origin list containing the wildcard to retain cors_credentials and expose authenticated REST API data to an untrusted website visited by a previously authenticated user. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.
