Microsoft patched CVE-2026-69836, a remote code execution flaw in Entra ID carrying a CVSS score of 10.0, which was initially reported as exploited in the wild. Entra ID, formerly Azure Active Directory, handles logins and access to Microsoft 365, Azure and connected third-party applications.

Our take, in short

The patch is Microsoft's problem, but the questionnaire is yours. If your product federates with Entra or your own staff sign in through it, assume a buyer's security team asks this week whether you were affected, and have an answer that references sign-in logs and privileged service principals rather than a shrug.
