ServiceNow Utah, Vancouver, and Washington DC Now Platform vulnerability
ServiceNow Utah, Vancouver, and Washington DC Now Platform releases contain a Jelly template injection vulnerability in UI macros allowing unauthenticated remote code execution.
Verdict
Today item — known-exploited.
An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious Jelly templates through UI macros to achieve arbitrary code execution on affected ServiceNow instances. The vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild with high exploit probability.
01
Is it exploitable?
— the evidence, ranked above the scoreExploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.

Who’s exploiting it?
— attribution turns risk into urgencyAttribution not established
No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.
03
Why it matters
— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board1
Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1
Attacker
I identify and craft a malicious Jelly template payload targeting the UI macro processing logic.
Business
Attackers gain initial access to the ServiceNow platform without authentication, bypassing security perimeter controls.
2
Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2
Attacker
I inject the template through an accessible UI macro endpoint, triggering server-side template processing.
Business
The vulnerability enables remote code execution with the privileges of the ServiceNow application process.
3
Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3
Attacker
I execute arbitrary commands on the underlying infrastructure to establish persistence or exfiltrate data.
Business
Sensitive business data, configurations, and customer information stored in ServiceNow become compromised and subject to theft or manipulation.
04
What to do
— defensible action- Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
