Glances - Information Disclosure (CVE-2026-32596)

CVE-2026-32596 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Glances, a cross-platform system monitoring tool, where the web server runs without authentication by default prior to version 4.5.2. This flaw exposes sensitive REST API endpoints, potentially leaking system information such as process command-lines that may contain credentials, passwords, API keys, or tokens to any network client. Attackers could exploit this vulnerability to harvest confidential data and compromise system security.

CrowdSec has been tracking this vulnerability and its exploits since 1st of April 2026.

Data from the CrowdSec community indicates that exploitation of CVE-2026-32596 is highly selective and intelligence-driven. Threat actors use advanced reconnaissance and carefully choose their targets, often as part of sophisticated campaigns or advanced persistent threat operations. CrowdSec network telemetry also shows that exploitation of CVE-2026-32596 has significantly declined over the past week. Attack volumes are well below the long-term average, suggesting attackers are rapidly losing interest. The vulnerability appears to be falling out of active use across most threat landscapes.

Attackers exploit unauthenticated access to endpoints such as /api/4/system and /api/4/processlist to retrieve sensitive system and process information from exposed Glances web servers.
