###### Breaking changes

This release addresses 8 security vulnerabilities (see below). Several of the mitigations change observable behaviour. Users who run Glances in web server or API mode (-w / --enable-webserver) should read the items below before upgrading.

**CVE-2026-32632** Host header validation is now enforced on the built-in web server. Requests whose Host header does not match localhost or 127.0.0.1 will be rejected with HTTP 400 by default. Users accessing Glances through a reverse proxy, a custom hostname, or a non-loopback IP address must declare the allowed values with the new allowed_hosts key in the [outputs] section of glances.conf (comma-separated list). This was already required for the MCP server since 4.5.1; it now also applies to the main REST/WebUI server.

**CVE-2026-32610** The default CORS policy is now restrictive. Previously, the server replied with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * which allowed any web page to issue credentialed cross-origin requests against the API. The wildcard is removed. Users running third-party web dashboards or custom front-ends on a different origin must explicitly list allowed origins with the cors_origins key in the [outputs] section of glances.conf.

**CVE-2026-32609** Sensitive fields are now redacted on unauthenticated API responses. The /api/4/args and /api/4/config endpoints no longer return password hashes, SSL key paths, or SNMP community strings to callers that have not authenticated. Scripts and integrations that relied on reading these values from the API must now authenticate (token or password) to receive them.

**CVE-2026-32633** and **CVE-2026-32634** The Browser (multi-server mode) no longer forwards configured credentials to remote Glances servers, whether discovered via Zeroconf or listed in the [serverlist] section. Credentials are only sent after the user explicitly logs in to an individual server. Automated setups that relied on transparent credential propagation must switch to per-server authentication.

**CVE-2026-32596** A WARNING is now printed to stdout at startup when the REST API is running without authentication (no --password and no API token configured). This is an informational message; the unauthenticated mode itself is unchanged and remains the default for private-network deployments. Startup scripts or monitoring pipelines that treat any stderr/stdout output as a failure may need to be updated.

**CVE-2026-32611** The DuckDB export module now uses parameterized DDL statements. Table names derived from plugin or metric names are sanitized before use. Existing DuckDB databases whose table names contained characters that were previously interpolated verbatim may need to be recreated.

**CVE-2026-32608** Process names used in [action] command templates are now shell-escaped before substitution. Templates that relied on unescaped special characters in process names to construct compound shell expressions will no longer behave as before.

Thanks to @psyberck for the UI patch and @DhiyaneshGeek / @restriction for CVEs reports.

##### Overview

Glances 4.5.1 is a stability and quality release that addresses regressions introduced
in the 4.5.0.x series, fixes cross-platform compatibility issues (OpenBSD, macOS, Snap),
and ships several community-driven enhancements — most notably Intel GPU monitoring,
Docker container health alerting, and per-plugin min/max/mean statistics.

---

##### 🐛 Bug Fixes

###### Plugins

- **DiskIO — crash on OpenBSD** ([[#3452](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3452)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3452))  
  A regression introduced in 4.5.0.5 caused Glances to crash on OpenBSD when the DiskIO
  plugin was active. The root cause was an unguarded attribute access in `msg_curse()`.
  Fixed and covered by an additional test case.

- **DiskIO — empty `args` not handled in `msg_curse()`** ([[#3429](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3429)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3429))  
  A `TypeError` would be raised in specific runtime configurations where `args` was not yet
  populated when `msg_curse()` was called. A safe default is now enforced.

- **Filesystem — `KeyError: '/etc/hostname'` on `get_view`** ([[#3470](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3470)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3470))  
  Certain bind-mounted or virtual paths (e.g. `/etc/hostname` inside containers) could
  trigger a `KeyError` in the FS plugin's view logic. The lookup is now guarded with a
  safe fallback.

- **Sensors — show/hide by alias name broken** ([[#3439](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3439)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3439))  
  Filtering sensors by alias name via the configuration file had no effect in some
  configurations. Sensor aliasing and the associated hide/show logic are now correctly
  applied together.

- **SMART — non-uniform key types cause `TypeError` with InfluxDB2 export** ([[#3449](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3449)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3449))  
  Mixed integer/string key types in the SMART plugin's device stats dict were causing a
  `TypeError` when exporting to InfluxDB2. Key types are now normalized before export.

###### Web UI

- **Fahrenheit display incorrect in WebUI** ([[#3450](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3450)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3450))  
  Temperature values were not properly converted to Fahrenheit in the Web UI when the
  `--fahrenheit` option was set. The unit conversion is now applied consistently on the
  frontend side.

###### Snap Packaging

- **AMD GPU plugin: `PermissionError` on `/usr/share/libdrm/amdgpu.ids`** ([[#3456](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3456)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3456))  
  Glances packaged as a Snap would refuse to start on systems with an AMD GPU because the
  GPU plugin attempted to open a file outside the Snap sandbox. The exception is now
  caught at the correct level (`open()` rather than `f.read()`), preventing the crash at
  startup.

- **NVIDIA GPU not detected under Snap** ([[#3292](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3292)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3292))  
  The Snap package was missing the `opengl` interface declaration in `snapcraft.yaml`,
  preventing the NVIDIA GPU plugin from accessing the required device nodes under strict
  confinement. The interface is now correctly declared.

###### MCP Server

- **DNS rebinding protection blocks external MCP clients** ([[#3467](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3467)](https://github.com/nicolargo/glances/issues/3467))  
  The MCP server was rejecting connections from external hosts because the underlying SSE
  tra
