Microsoft sees some new wrinkles in invoice-scam emails

Microsoft researchers observed a BEC invoice scam sending 1M+ AI-assisted emails impersonating executives and ServiceNow to request ~$50,000 payments.

Microsoft researchers tracked a campaign of more than one million invoice-scam emails launched in early August, with about 88% of targets in the United States. Attackers impersonated top executives and ServiceNow, fabricating forwarded email threads and invoices to convince accounts payable teams to send payments of nearly $50,000. Microsoft found indicators such as extensive HTML comments and highly uniform template construction consistent with AI-assisted campaign development, though it could not independently establish how much content AI generated.

Hackers Impersonate CEOs in 1 Million Emails to Trick Employees Into $50,000 Payments

A BEC campaign sent over one million fake CEO invoice emails, mostly to US firms, urging ~$50,000 ACH transfers to attacker accounts.

Microsoft analysts tracked a business email compromise campaign that sent more than one million messages between August 3 and 5, with 87.7% targeting US recipients. Emails impersonated CEOs, CFOs, and presidents and carried fake ServiceNow-branded subscription invoices directing accounts-payable staff to make ACH transfers of nearly $50,000 to attacker-controlled accounts. No malicious attachments or malware were used, and researchers observed signs consistent with AI-assisted template development. Lookalike domains such as service-nowinc[.]com and third-party delivery accounts were used, while named firms like ServiceNow showed no evidence of compromise.

How AI and cybersecurity are reshaping ServiceNow

Analysis argues ServiceNow's $7.75B Armis acquisition and AI-driven consumption pricing are reshaping its ITSM platform amid SaaS market anxiety.

CSO Online examines how AI agents, vibe-coding fears, and a reported 30% share price drop are pressuring ITSM leader ServiceNow, and how the company is pivoting toward consumption-based revenue and cybersecurity. The piece highlights ServiceNow's $7.75 billion cash acquisition of Armis, priced at roughly 23 times the vendor's $340 million annual revenue, as a strategic move to supercharge ITSM workflows with accurate device inventory and orchestration rather than to sell a standalone security product. Experts note this ends Armis's vendor-neutral position, introduces the CISO as a new buyer, and will likely lead to aggressive Armis bundling at contract renewals.

Hackers Use AI-Assisted CEO Emails to Trick Finance Teams Into Sending $50,000 Payments.

Microsoft tracked a million-message AI-assisted BEC campaign impersonating executives with fake ServiceNow invoices to steal ~$50,000 ACH payments.

Microsoft detected over one million messages in a BEC campaign running August 3-5, using AI-assisted phishing templates, executive impersonation, and fabricated ServiceNow subscription invoices to trick finance teams into authorizing fraudulent ACH payments of roughly $50,000. The US received 87.7% of volume. Attackers used lookalike domains like service-nowinc[.]com registered just days before delivery, with no compromise of ServiceNow itself. Telltale signs included verbose HTML comments, uniform formatting, and inconsistent forwarded-message headers.

We've got one word for it, and it's usually the wrong one

Cisco Talos's Threat Source newsletter critiques 'burnout' terminology, describing four occupational injuries, and flags a UAT-10820 WebDAV stealer campaign at a Ukrainian government organization.

Cisco Talos's Threat Source newsletter argues that 'burnout' is the wrong word for most cybersecurity occupational harm, distinguishing exhaustion, secondary traumatic stress, vicarious trauma, and moral injury based on clinical literature from trauma-exposed professions. The featured disclosure describes a complex WebDAV infection chain found at a Ukrainian government organization, attributed with moderate confidence to the Russian-tracked actor UAT-10820 and assessed as an opportunistic cryptocurrency and credential-stealing operation. The campaign delivers the Amatera stealer alongside ZigCryptoStealer and NetSupport Manager, abusing BNB Smart Chain bulletproof hosting, fake CAPTCHA prompts, a vulnerable driver to kill EDR, and rundll32.exe execution of disguised DLLs with ordinal calls. Weekly headlines also cover a Microsoft Defender 'ShieldCrash' zero-day exploit released after September 2026 Patch Tuesday, a North Korean Linux espionage toolkit backdooring HAProxy, and a multi-hop Google-domain redirect phishing campaign.

Protecting organizations from AI-assisted executive impersonation and invoice fraud

Microsoft tracked a campaign of over one million AI-crafted CEO-impersonation emails seeking ~$50,000 ACH payments with fabricated ServiceNow invoices.

Between August 3 and 5, Microsoft detected a campaign of more than one million fraud emails, 87.7% of them targeting US enterprise users, sent through multiple third-party email delivery service accounts. The actor impersonated CEOs, CFOs, and presidents of targeted companies, urging accounts payable staff to process an ACH payment of nearly $50,000. Lures layered executive impersonation, lookalike domains, a fabricated ServiceNow 'Annual Subscription' invoice personalized to the recipient, and forged forwarded email threads; Microsoft found no evidence ServiceNow or the referenced executives were compromised. Microsoft observed indicators consistent with generative AI-assisted template creation, while leftover inconsistencies such as missing forwarding headers and mismatched display names gave defenders detection cues.

Three CVSS 10.0 ServiceNow Flaws Could Let Unauthenticated Attackers Execute Code and SQL

ServiceNow patched four AI Platform flaws, including three pre-authentication CVSS 10.0 issues enabling unauthenticated code execution, SQL injection, and privilege escalation.

ServiceNow released patches on August 27, 2026 for four AI Platform flaws: CVE-2026-18885 (code injection in the GraphQL Composite Data API), CVE-2026-18886 (improper access control enabling privilege escalation), and CVE-2026-74820 (SQL injection), all self-rated CVSS 10.0 and exploitable without authentication, plus CVE-2026-6876, an 8.7 sandbox escape. Updates were deployed to hosted instances, but self-hosted customers must patch affected Xanadu, Yokohama, Zurich, and Australia release lines themselves. ServiceNow says it is not aware of exploitation of the new flaws, and no public exploit code existed as of August 28, 2026; separately, Defused reported in-the-wild exploitation of the earlier CVE-2026-6875 (CVSS 9.5), later noting the captured payload matched Searchlight Cyber's PoC.

One Attacker Has Scraped Both Salesforce and ServiceNow Portals Since 2025

Reco tracks the City Forum campaign: one Contabo VPS has scraped Salesforce and ServiceNow guest portals across finance, telecom and public sector since March 2025.

Reco researchers identified infrastructure at 158.220.87.79, a Contabo VPS using Go's default net/http user agent, that has harvested records from Salesforce Experience Cloud and ServiceNow customer portals across telecom, financial services, enterprise software and public sector targets for over a year. The tool abuses over-privileged persistent guest users, enumerating Salesforce Aura sites (560,000+ events at one target), probing Lightning Web Runtime via the UI-API across API versions v56.0-v66.0, and hitting the poorly documented ServiceNow Service Portal search endpoint. No named victims or actor attribution yet, and activity is ongoing with rising volume. Defenders are advised to hunt the Go-http-client user agent and specific IP in Salesforce Event Monitoring logs and syslog_transaction on ServiceNow, then tighten guest sharing rules and Knowledge Base read criteria.

A stranger has been reading Salesforce and ServiceNow portals worldwide for 17 months

Reco tracks City-Forum, an actor abusing Salesforce and ServiceNow guest-user access from one IP for 17 months to enumerate portal data.

Reco's City-Forum investigation found one IP address, tied to a dormant 2002 domain, anonymously enumerating Salesforce Experience Cloud and ServiceNow portals across telecoms, banks, enterprise software vendors, and public sector since at least March 2025. No vulnerability was exploited and no credentials were used; the actor abused over-permissioned guest users, including a previously undocumented ServiceNow portal search endpoint, with the busiest single target logging over 560,000 events. Audit logs show what was requested but not which records or fields were returned, so defenders must replay anonymous requests to assess exposure.

  • Improper Access Control (Privilege Escalation) in ServiceNow AI Platform
    CVE-2026-18886 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the ServiceNow AI Platform that, in certain circumstances, allows an unauthenticated remote user to create or modify instance data beyond what was intended. Because the flaw is reachable over the network with no privileges or user interaction required, an attacker who meets the advisory's conditions can manipulate instance data and achieve privilege escalation. Successful exploitation carries high impact to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected instance (CVSS 4.0 score of 10.0). Customers running affected ServiceNow AI Platform releases are potentially affected; ServiceNow has already deployed the security update to hosted instances, while self-hosted customers and partners must apply the provided update themselves. No exploitation has been observed to date (EPSS 0.2%, not listed in CISA KEV, no public proof-of-concept).
    · ServiceNow AI Platformlarge
  • Unauthenticated SQL Injection in ServiceNow AI Platform
    CVE-2026-74820 is a critical (CVSS 4.0: 10.0) SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) in the ServiceNow AI platform that an unauthenticated attacker can, in certain circumstances, trigger remotely over the network. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary SQL statements to be executed against the instance's underlying database, giving the attacker access to or the ability to modify instance data beyond what was intended, with the CVSS scoring indicating high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Any organization running an unpatched ServiceNow instance is affected, but ServiceNow has already deployed the security update to its hosted instances, so remaining exposure is concentrated among self-hosted customers and partners who must apply the provided update themselves. There is currently no known malicious exploitation: EPSS assigns a 0.2% probability of exploitation within 30 days, the flaw is not in CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is known.

  • Unauthenticated Sandbox Escape Allows Code Execution in ServiceNow AI Platform
    CVE-2026-6876 is a sandbox escape in the ServiceNow AI Platform (CWE-94, CWE-693, CWE-1284) that allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to execute arbitrary code within the platform. Triggering requires no privileges and no user interaction, consistent with the CVSS 4.0 base of 10.0 (AV:N/PR:N/UI:N with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability). Successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution inside the platform and potentially more access to the ServiceNow AI Platform than intended. All deployments of the ServiceNow AI Platform are affected: ServiceNow has already deployed the remediation to its hosted (SaaS) instances and has provided the update to partners and self-hosted customers. ServiceNow is not currently aware of malicious exploitation, and no public proof-of-concept is known.
    · ServiceNow AI Platformlarge
  • Unauthenticated Code Injection in ServiceNow AI Platform (CVSS 10.0)
    ServiceNow has remediated an unauthenticated code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) in the ServiceNow AI platform, scored a maximum 10.0 in CVSS 4.0, exploitable over the network with no privileges and no user interaction. An attacker can trigger it, in certain circumstances, via crafted input to an affected instance, gaining the ability to execute arbitrary code on the platform and access or modify instance data beyond intended permission boundaries. All customers running the affected platform are in scope: ServiceNow has already deployed the fix to hosted instances, while partners and self-hosted customers must apply the provided update or upgrade to a patched release. Related reporting indicates this is one of three CVSS 10.0 ServiceNow flaws disclosed together that could allow unauthenticated code and SQL execution, though specific affected version ranges are not listed in the advisory. There is no public proof-of-concept, the flaw is not in CISA's KEV, EPSS is low (0.4% in 30 days), and ServiceNow states it is not currently aware of malicious exploitation.

  • Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in ServiceNow AI Platform
    ServiceNow has patched a critical, unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CWE-94, code injection) in the ServiceNow AI platform that is reachable over the network without credentials or user interaction, though exploitation requires certain circumstances to be met (CVSS 4.0 attack complexity is high). A remote attacker who successfully triggers the flaw can execute code within the ServiceNow platform, with potentially high impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the instance and its data. Both ServiceNow-hosted (SaaS) instances and self-hosted customer and partner deployments are affected; hosted instances were fixed via a centrally deployed security update, while self-hosted customers and partners must apply the provided security updates or patched family releases themselves. ServiceNow's advisory states it was not initially aware of exploitation, but subsequent security reporting indicates this pre-auth RCE has been exploited in the wild. There is no known public proof-of-concept and the flaw is not yet in CISA's KEV catalog, but EPSS assigns a 77.6% probability of exploitation within 30 days.
