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

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2026-04-21 · updated 2026-10-26
• Weakness: CWE-89

Description

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.

Affected products

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: nicolargo glances 4.5.4. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
