CVE-2026-68519

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, GlancesActions.run() in glances/actions.py ignores --disable-config-exec for on-alert action commands and invokes secure_popen() with shell operators enabled, allowing configured redirection, command chaining, or pipes to execute when an alert triggers. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.

Summary		(es) Glances es una herramienta de monitoreo de sistemas multiplataforma de código abierto. Antes de la versión 4.5.6, GlancesActions.run() en glances/actions.py ignora --disable-config-exec para los comandos de acción en caso de alerta e invoca secure_popen() con los operadores de shell habilitados, lo que permite que la redirección configurada, el encadenamiento de comandos o las tuberías se ejecuten cuando se activa una alerta. Este problema se soluciona en la versión 4.5.6.
