{"cve":"CVE-2026-53925","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-25T19:16:40.017","modified":"2026-10-25T22:10:00.150","status":"Deferred","description":"Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. From 4.0.8 until 4.5.5, the secure_popen() function in glances/secure.py interprets > (file redirection), | (pipe), and && (command chaining) operators in command strings. These operators are applied without any validation on the target file path, piped command, or chained command. When Application Monitoring Process (AMP) modules load their command or service_cmd configuration values from glances.conf, those values are passed directly to secure_popen() with no sanitization. This allows an attacker who can modify the Glances configuration file to write arbitrary content to arbitrary filesystem paths (via >), chain arbitrary commands (via &&), or pipe command output to arbitrary programs (via |). 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-22"],"references":["https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/security/advisories/GHSA-3vwc-qwhc-3mj7","https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/security/advisories/GHSA-3vwc-qwhc-3mj7"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-25T23:44:33.281319194+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53925","score":0.00183,"percentile":0.07843,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-3vwc-qwhc-3mj7","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-3vwc-qwhc-3mj7","summary":"Glances has arbitrary file write and command execution via `secure_popen` redirection and chaining operators in AMP command configuration","modified":"2026-07-21T15:00:42.327029716Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","ranges":[">=4.0.8 <4.5.5"],"fixed":["4.5.5"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-2494","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-2494","summary":"Glances has arbitrary file write and command execution via `secure_popen` redirection and chaining operators in AMP command configuration","modified":"2026-07-13T16:32:38.352275643Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"glances","purl":"pkg:pypi/glances","ranges":[">=4.0.8 <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).
