Upgrade Glances to version 4.5.6 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 cmdline process when attacker-controlled nested values are passed unsanitized to the command template renderer. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges by crafting process arguments that include shell operators, which are not properly sanitized in nested fields. This is only exploitable if an action command template is configured to render a nested stat field such as cmdline.
