What it is

ServiceNow Utah, Vancouver, and Washington DC Now Platform releases contain a jelly template injection vulnerability in UI macros. An unauthenticated user could exploit this vulnerability to execute code remotely.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 100%
  • 1 public exploit published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2024-08-19) has passed
  • CVSS 9.3 critical
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.
