NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glances package and not the glances package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to version 4.5.2, the Glances REST API web server ships with a default CORS configuration that sets allow_origins=[&#34;*&#34;] combined with allow_credentials=True. When both of these options are enabled together, Starlette's CORSMiddleware reflects the requesting Origin header value in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header instead of returning the literal * wildcard. This effectively grants any website the ability to make credentialed cross-origin API requests to the Glances server, enabling cross-site data theft of system monitoring information, configuration secrets, and command line arguments from any user who has an active browser session with a Glances instance. Version 4.5.2 fixes the issue.
