CVE-2026-35588: Glances has CQL Injection in its Cassandra Export Module via Unsanitized Config Values

CVE-2026-35588 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-04-21

Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to version 4.5.4, the Cassandra export module (`glances/exports/glances_cassandra/__init__.py`) interpolates `keyspace`, `table`, and `replication_factor` configuration values directly into CQL statements without validation. A user with write access to `glances.conf` can redirect all monitoring data to an attacker-controlled Cassandra keyspace. Version 4.5.4 contains a fix.

Technologies: Nicolargo Glances, glances (PyPI). Vendors: Nicolargo, PyPI.
