CVE-2026-68517

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.

Summary		(es) Glances es una herramienta de monitorización multiplataforma de sistemas de código abierto. Antes de 4.5.6, el control cors_origins en glances/outputs/glances_restful_api.py utiliza la igualdad exacta de listas en lugar de la pertenencia a comodines, permitiendo que una lista de múltiples orígenes que contiene el comodín retenga las cors_credentials y exponga datos autenticados de la API REST a un sitio web no confiable visitado por un usuario previamente autenticado. Este problema está solucionado en 4.5.6.
