CVE-2026-68520

Glances: as_dict_secure() Value-Level Bypass Leaks Credentials in URL Values via /api/4/config

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.
