Glances is an open-source system cross-platform monitoring tool. Prior to 4.5.2, Glances web server runs without authentication by default when started with `glances -w`, exposing REST API with sensitive system information including process command-lines containing credentials (passwords, API keys, tokens) to any network client. Version 4.5.2 fixes the issue.
