ServiceNow, a cloud-based platform for IT and other business functions, recently faced data exposure risks due to misconfigurations in its Simple List interface widget. The default setting allowed remote access to sensitive data stored in tables, potentially compromising confidential information. Although a vulnerability in ServiceNow's code didn't cause the issue, it highlighted the critical importance of securing hundreds of configurations within the platform. ServiceNow recommended several remediation steps, including reviewing Access Control Lists, adjusting widget settings, and implementing stricter access control measures. Organizations utilizing SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) solutions like Adaptive Shield can identify and address such misconfigurations, enhancing their overall security posture. With SSPMs, security teams can proactively monitor and mitigate potential risks, ensuring robust protection for their data and systems.
