Overview

Glances is an A cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the /api/v4/args and /api/v4/args/{item} endpoints, which return sensitive information such as password hashes, SNMP community strings, SNMP authentication keys, and configuration file paths. An attacker can obtain confidential data by sending unauthenticated requests to these endpoints.

Note: This is only exploitable if the application is running without the --password option, which is the default configuration.
