ServiceNow Fixes Three Critical Flaws That Could Let Attackers Hijack Systems

ServiceNow, a widely used cloud platform for IT service management and business workflows, has released patches for three critical code injection vulnerabilities. If exploited, these flaws could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, giving them the ability to access, steal, or tamper with sensitive company data.

Code injection vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because they let attackers insert and run their own commands within a trusted application, potentially bypassing normal security controls. Since many organisations rely on ServiceNow for managing internal processes, HR requests, IT tickets, and customer service workflows, a successful attack could expose confidential business or customer information and disrupt operations.

Businesses using ServiceNow, including those who access it through third-party integrations or managed service providers, should confirm with their IT team or vendor that the latest security patches have been applied. Given the severity rating of these vulnerabilities, delaying updates increases the risk of exploitation, especially as details become public and attackers look to target unpatched systems.
