CVE-2026-46606 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.5 or higher.
Overview
Glances is an A cross-platform curses-based monitoring tool
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection in the secure_popen process when unsanitized VM domain names from KVM/QEMU are passed directly into command templates. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands as the operating system user running the process by creating or renaming a virtual machine with a crafted domain name containing shell operators such as &&, |, or >. This is only exploitable if the monitoring engine is configured to monitor a KVM/QEMU hypervisor with the vms plugin enabled, /usr/bin/virsh is installed and executable, and the attacker has privileges to create or rename libvirt domains.
