CVE-2026-30928 affects Glances, an open-source system monitoring tool, prior to version 4.5.1, by exposing its entire configuration file (glances.conf) through the /api/4/config REST API endpoint. This critical vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve sensitive data, including database passwords, API tokens, and SSL key passwords. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), it presents a significant confidentiality risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and lack of required privileges or user interaction. While there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, the potential impact is severe. Organizations using affected versions are strongly advised to upgrade to Glances 4.5.1 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
