# ServiceNow AI Platform: sandbox escape lets an admin run host code

ServiceNow AI Platform had a flaw that let an authenticated user with the admin role break out of the Rhino JavaScript sandbox. Successful exploitation runs arbitrary code on the underlying host operating system.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Confirm whether your ServiceNow instance is hosted by ServiceNow or self-hosted or run by a partner.
- For self-hosted or partner-run instances, check the installed AI Platform release against the patched release named in the ServiceNow advisory (not stated in these sources: unknown).

## Fix

- Hosted instances: ServiceNow says it has already deployed the update to hosted instances.
- Self-hosted and partner customers: apply the update ServiceNow provided, or upgrade to a patched release (version unknown).

## Timeline

## From the sources

ServiceNow has remediated a sandbox escape security issue that was identified in the ServiceNow AI Platform. This vulnerability could enable an authenticated user with the admin role to bypass Rhino sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code on the underlying host operating system, potentially enabling further unintended access. 



ServiceNow deployed an update to hosted instances, and ServiceNow provided the update to our partners and self-hosted customers. We are not currently aware of malicious exploitation against ServiceNow instances. We recommend customers promptly apply appropriate updates or upgrade to a patched release if they have not already done so.
