Description
Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.6, as_dict_secure() in glances/config.py checks only option names and exposes public_username and credentials embedded in public_api values through unauthenticated GET /api/4/config and GET /api/4/config/ip requests. This issue is fixed in 4.5.6.
Public exploit
An exploit or proof of concept is public: anyone can try it against an unpatched system. A reference of the record is tagged as an exploit. CISA's SSVC rates its exploitation: a proof of concept is public.
