CVE-2026-34839 PUBLISHED

Glances Vulnerable to Cross-Origin Information Disclosure via Unauthenticated REST API (/api/4) due to Permissive CORS

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 30.03.2026 Published: 20.04.2026 Updated: 20.04.2026

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to version 4.5.4, the Glances web server exposes a REST API (/api/4/*) that is accessible without authentication and allows cross-origin requests from any origin due to a permissive CORS policy (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *). This allows a malicious website to read sensitive system information from a running Glances instance in the victim’s browser, leading to cross-origin data exfiltration. While a previous advisory exists for XML-RPC CORS issues, this report demonstrates that the REST API (/api/4/*) is also affected and exposes significantly more sensitive data. Version 4.5.4 patches the issue.
