CVE-2025-0337
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedServiceNow has addressed an authorization bypass vulnerability that was identified in the Washington release of the Now Platform. This vulnerability, if exploited, potentially could enable an authenticated user to access unauthorized data stored within the Now Platform that the user otherwise would not be entitled to access. This issue is addressed in the listed patches and family release, which have been made available to hosted and self-hosted customers, as well as partners.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is an authorization bypass vulnerability in ServiceNow's Washington release where an authenticated user can access data they are not entitled to access. The flaw allows a user with valid credentials to circumvent access control checks and view unauthorized information stored within the Now Platform.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify ServiceNow versionNavigate to System Settings > About or check /nav_to.do?uri=/sys_properties_list.do?sysparm_view=simplified for property 'glide.version' or 'glide.product.version' to confirm the Washington release versionAffected if The installed version matches the Washington release family without corresponding security patches applied
-
Verify patch application statusCheck the ServiceNow instance for fix scripts or hot fixes related to CVE-2025-0337 in the 'sys_update_set' table, or review the instance health dashboard for recent security updatesAffected if No security patch for this CVE has been installed on the instance
-
Test authorization boundariesUsing an authenticated user account with limited role permissions, attempt to access records or tables outside the scope of the assigned role through direct URL navigation or API callsAffected if User can view or modify data they are not explicitly authorized to access, indicating the authorization bypass is present
-
Review access control rulesNavigate to System Security > Access Control (ACL) and inspect rules for sensitive tables, particularly checking if 'scripted' ACLs have proper validation logic that cannot be circumventedAffected if ACL rules exist but can be bypassed or contain insufficient validation that allows unauthorized data access
Your environment is affected if you are running ServiceNow Washington release without the CVE-2025-0337 security patch and users with limited roles can access data outside their entitlement scope.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor-provided patches for the Washington release and verify that authorization controls properly restrict user access to only data they are explicitly entitled to view.
