Can I hang a cabinet on an uneven wall?

 Is there a way to hang a cabinet on this wall without getting the tiles fixed (yet)? I bought myself a lovely new (and expensive) shaving cabinet to replace an old mirror. Unfortunately on removing the mirror we discovered some tile movement.

 

I’m aware of previous water ingress issues that were apparently fixed (boundary wall, apartment block) - other visible areas previously affected have not worsened in 18 months (I have photos). Concrete block wall. Had someone out today to have a look and he thinks there are still ingress issues through an expansion joint that has failed - basically looks like I’m facing months (at best!) of waiting for the external repair and wall to dry out completely. Moisture meter was around 13% compared to 7ish on other walls. 

ANYWAY - my question is - is there a way to hang the cabinet so that it won’t warp on the uneven surface (or if there is any further small movement)? I suspect any water ingress is quite minor given the other more obvious area appears to be ok. I don’t want to damage the cabinet but also don’t really have anywhere to store it (also was excited to use it!)
