{"cve":"CVE-2026-46607","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-25T19:16:37.527","modified":"2026-10-25T22:10:00.150","status":"Deferred","description":"Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.5, glances/outdated.py uses pickle.load() to read a version-check cache file stored at a predictable, world-accessible path (~/.cache/glances/glances-version.db or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/glances/glances-version.db). No integrity check, signature verification, or format validation is performed before deserialization. An attacker with write access to that path — through any of several realistic local or container-level scenarios — can plant a malicious pickle file and achieve arbitrary code execution as the OS user running Glances the next time it starts with version checking enabled (the default). This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.5.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-502"],"references":["https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/releases/tag/v4.5.5","https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/security/advisories/GHSA-9837-48hr-q32j","https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/security/advisories/GHSA-9837-48hr-q32j"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:33.281319194+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46607","score":0.0036,"percentile":0.29505,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-9837-48hr-q32j","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-9837-48hr-q32j","summary":"Glances has Insecure Pickle Deserialization in its Version Cache that Leads to Arbitrary Code Execution","modified":"2026-07-21T15:00:42.382802312Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","ranges":["<4.5.5"],"fixed":["4.5.5"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-2496","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-2496","summary":"Glances has Insecure Pickle Deserialization in its Version Cache that Leads to Arbitrary Code Execution","modified":"2026-07-13T16:31:55.163321591Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","ranges":["<4.5.5"],"fixed":["4.5.5"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
