ServiceNow Flaw May Have Left Data Exposed Since 2015
Information security specialist Daniel Miessler posted on social media saying that a “potential data exposure issue” in the digital workflow management platform could have user data available for unauthenticated users to see.
Miessler said the issue, which could have been around since 2015, is due to a misconfiguration in the Simple List widget in ServiceNow’s system, a tool that allows for records to be viewed in easily readable tables.
