CVE-2026-46611: Glances: XML-RPC Server Missing Host Header Validation Enables DNS Rebinding Attack

June 22, 2026

The Glances XML-RPC server (glances -s, implemented in glances/server.py) does not validate the HTTP Host header, leaving it vulnerable to DNS rebinding attacks. CVE-2026-32632 (patched in 4.5.2) added TrustedHostMiddleware to the REST/WebUI server; the MCP server has had equivalent protection since 4.5.1. The XML-RPC server received neither fix and has no allowed-hosts configuration key. Combined with the unrestricted Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header (see companion advisory for CVE-2026-33533 and its incomplete fix), an attacker can exploit DNS rebinding to exfiltrate the full system monitoring dataset from a victim’s browser.
