CVE-2026-6875 — Sandbox Escape in ServiceNow AI Platform
ServiceNow has addressed a remote code execution vulnerability that was identified in the ServiceNow AI platform. This vulnerability could enable an unauthenticated user, in certain circumstances, to execute code within the ServiceNow platform. ServiceNow addressed this vulnerability by deploying a security update to hosted instances. Relevant security updates have also been provided to ServiceNow self-hosted customers and partners. Further, the vulnerability is addressed in the listed patches and family releases, which have been made available to hosted and self-hosted customers, as well as partners. We are not currently aware of exploitation against ServiceNow instances. We recommend customers promptly apply appropriate updates or upgrade to a patched release if they have not already done so.

Remediation
The vendor's own words where we have them.
Upgrade ServiceNow AI Platform to a fixed release. Apply vendor patches per advisory and restrict external exposure of the affected component until patched.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record's own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found.
- Identify exposed assets running affected vendor/product/version combinations.
- Prioritize based on EPSS, PoC availability, and external exposure.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors, authentication anomalies, or suspicious child processes matching the vulnerability class.

🚨CVE-2026-6875 — pre-auth RCE in ServiceNow, actively exploited days after the patch shipped. Attackers used a sandbox-escape gadget chain different from the public PoC. Pre-auth = no login needed, straight to code execution. If you're self-hosted, patch now. #infosec #AppSec

CVE-2026-6875: unauthenticated RCE in the ServiceNow AI Platform, actively exploited since July 18. Attackers escape the sandbox and run code remotely. If your workflows live on ServiceNow, patch now and hunt for post-exploit activity. #InfoSec #CVE #ZeroDay

Answered from this record1
What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-6875 is Sandbox Escape in ServiceNow AI Platform, a critical vulnerability affecting ServiceNow AI Platform from ServiceNow. The current evidence does not list it in CISA KEV, and the exploit status is: Exploitation is reported, but no independent confirmation is available in the sources we have. Public exploit evidence is: 11 public PoC repositories reported; 3 marked weaponized in current dataset. The affected-version evidence is listed in the key facts and affected products tables. Defenders should first verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run those versions, then apply vendor patches or mitigations, restrict reachable attack surface, and preserve logs for detection review. CVSS 9.5 describes technical severity, while EPSS 78% helps estimate near-term exploit likelihood; neither replaces asset context. Unknown fields should remain explicit in tickets, and threat actor, IOC, victimology, or payload claims should not be added unless a cited source supports them. Monitor CISA KEV, vendor advisories, NVD changes, public PoC repositories, and internal telemetry for update triggers.
