Risk & exploitation
No EPSS score is published for this advisory yet; priority uses the available signals. Priority blends CVSS, EPSS, KEV and public-exploit availability — operational prioritization, not a NIS2/DORA reporting determination.
Summary
A ServiceNow security incident with no CVE assigned. ServiceNow published a public TrustShare customer advisory and a more detailed login-gated bulletin (KB3067321, reachable only from the support portal), and applied a cloud-side fix to hosted instances on 2026-06-05 (publicly disclosed 2026-06-09). ServiceNow confirms the access was unauthenticated ("without requiring credentials") and scopes the advisory to the Australia release family; its investigation reports the observed activity began 2026-06-02. Community analysis (attributed by the press to "one commenter") adds the specific Scripted REST Resource at the related-list-edit endpoint and the requires_authentication=false root cause. Because the requests were unauthenticated, ServiceNow had no account to attribute them to, so the activity appears in syslog_transaction logged against the built-in Guest user — the single most useful and most misunderstood detection signal, and the centerpiece of the cross-linked guide (ATTACK-007).
Why this checker exists. ServiceNow notifies affected customers by opening a support case — and says that if you did not receive one, you are likely not affected. That is a "trust us, we'll contact you" model: the public advisory tells you the incident happened, the detailed KB is behind a support login, there is no CVE, and there is no self-service way to check your own instance. This checker lets a team verify independently, from its own logs, rather than rely on the absence of a support case.
Exposure window. ServiceNow's investigation reports activity beginning 2026-06-02, before the 2026-06-05 fix; one community report suggests possible earlier (~April 2026) activity. The signature's disclosed field is set to 2026-04-01 as a deliberately conservative window-open: an all-clear (DORMANT) then requires your logs to cover a wide window, and because most instances' transaction-log retention does not reach back that far, the common result is an honest INVESTIGATE (a retention gap that is itself reportable), never a false all-clear. The setting only ever narrows toward INVESTIGATE — it can never manufacture a false EXERCISED. Because the fix was applied cloud-side, there is no customer upgrade and no version to patch to — the action is to review your logs.
This signature carries detection signals only. It contains nothing about how the endpoint was called, and no request body, payload, or reproduction detail — the activity was unattributed at disclosure, and on 2026-06-12 ServiceNow attributed much of it, hedged, to security researchers and customers' own testing. A signal hit means the endpoint was reached/queried in the instance's logs; it does not, by itself, identify the actor or confirm a breach.
Affected releases & fixed-in
| Release | Fixed in |
|---|---|
| Australia | Cloud-side fix applied by ServiceNow to hosted instances on 2026-06-05 — no customer upgrade required. There is no version to patch to; the action is to review your logs. |
| Other releases (community-reported only) | Same hosted fix (2026-06-05). ServiceNow's advisory scopes the incident to the Australia release family; reports of access to instances on other releases come from the security community (Reddit), not ServiceNow's statement. Confirm against the TrustShare advisory and KB3067321. |
Source & attribution
Authoritative source: ServiceNow's public TrustShare customer advisory (https://trust.servicenow.com/notifications/1205429e-fea3-4cbf-b37b-8cd3a4e07aef) plus the login-gated bulletin KB3067321.
VENDOR-CONFIRMED: unauthenticated access ('without requiring credentials'), the Australia release family, a cloud-side fix on 2026-06-05, and no CVE assigned (ServiceNow says it is still evaluating whether to publish one); ServiceNow's investigation reports the observed activity began 2026-06-02. Public disclosure 2026-06-09.
COMMUNITY-ATTRIBUTED (not in ServiceNow's statement): the specific /api/now/related_list_edit endpoint, the requires_authentication=false root cause, and the source IP 51.159.98.241 — all publicly reported (BleepingComputer / TechCrunch, June 2026): the endpoint and root cause attributed to administrators on Reddit ('one commenter'), the IP shared by network defenders. Also community/press-reported: possible earlier activity, publicly described as a bug-bounty submission dated 2026-04-22.
UPDATE 2026-06-12 (vendor): ServiceNow attributed the observed activity, hedged, to security researchers or customers conducting their own security research — not malicious actors; the researchers report it was solely for a bug-bounty submission with no data used or retained. This is a platform-wide, hedged attribution, not a per-instance all-clear: an EXERCISED verdict from this signature means the endpoint was reached/queried in the instance's own logs, which the checker does not attribute to any specific actor. The disclosed field is set to 2026-04-01 as a deliberately conservative exposure-window-open so an all-clear (DORMANT) requires log coverage of a wide window; it only ever narrows toward INVESTIGATE and never produces a false EXERCISED. The CWE classification is Nowisor's, not vendor-assigned. ServiceNow notifies affected customers by opening a support case — the absence of one is ServiceNow's signal you are likely unaffected; this checker lets you verify that independently from your own logs.
