CVE-2024-5217 is a critical input validation vulnerability in ServiceNow Now Platform affecting Washington DC, Vancouver, and earlier releases. The flaw is described as an incomplete list of disallowed inputs in the GlideExpression script and can allow remote code execution by an unauthenticated attacker in the context of the Now Platform. Available reporting places the issue in pre-authentication attack chains against externally accessible ServiceNow instances and associates it with unsafe handling of attacker-controlled input in executable expression contexts. The vulnerability has been publicly characterized as a pre-authentication remote code execution condition and has been reported as actively exploited.
