Description
ServiceNow has remediated an authorization bypass security issue that was identified in the ServiceNow AI Platform. This security issue, if exploited, could enable an unauthenticated user to access data within the ServiceNow AI Platform that the user otherwise would not be entitled to access, potentially enabling further unintended access.





ServiceNow deployed a security update to hosted instances and ServiceNow provided the update to our partners and self-hosted customers. We are not currently aware of malicious exploitation against ServiceNow instances. We recommend customers promptly apply appropriate updates or upgrade to a patched release if they have not already done so.

AI Analysis

Impact

ServiceNow has identified an authorization bypass flaw in its AI Platform. A non‑authenticated attacker can retrieve records that the system normally protects, leading to the disclosure of confidential information. The vulnerability arises from improper enforcement of access control, as indicated by CWEs associated with access control failures, and can fully compromise data confidentiality for affected systems.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects ServiceNow AI Platform instances, including both hosted and self‑hosted deployments. Specific version information is not disclosed in the available data, so all current releases should be examined for the applied security fix.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.7, this issue poses a high risk. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed exploitation yet. The likely attack vector is remote, via unauthenticated requests to the AI Platform’s interfaces, which can be performed over the internet or internal networks. Any successful exploitation would grant an attacker access to data beyond their authorization.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the ServiceNow security update to both hosted and self‑hosted AI Platform instances or upgrade to a patched release as soon as possible.
  • If the update cannot be applied immediately, restrict network access to the AI Platform endpoints to trusted hosts only and monitor for any unauthorized access attempts.
  • Review configuration settings to ensure that access controls for AI Platform data are appropriately enforced and consider disabling or limiting exposed API endpoints until the patch is in place.
