## How to prioritise ServiceNow patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for ServiceNow, not a generic severity checklist:

- No ServiceNow CVE is in CISA KEV yet, so rank by exploit probability instead.
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2026-18886](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-18886) (5%), [CVE-2025-3648](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2025-3648) (1.7%), [CVE-2026-6876](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2026-6876) (0.6%).
- 8 CVEs score Critical and 4 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 10, average 9.3); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
- 1 CVE has a public exploit or proof of concept recorded, which shortens the time from disclosure to attack.
