Microsoft Entra RCE CVE-2026-69836

-


Key Update

Microsoft initially published advisory information that appeared to indicate the Microsoft Entra ID remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-69836) had been exploited in the wild. However, Microsoft later corrected the advisory, stating that the vulnerability was not exploited in the wild.

Vulnerability Details

  • CVE: CVE-2026-69836
  • Product: Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory)
  • Severity: CVSS 10.0 (Critical)
  • Type: Remote Code Execution (RCE)
  • Root Cause: Deserialization of untrusted data (CWE-502), which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code over a network.

What Microsoft Says

Microsoft stated that:
  • The vulnerability has already been fully mitigated on the service side.
  • No customer action is required.
  • Because Entra ID is a Microsoft-hosted cloud service, customers do not need to install patches or make configuration changes.

Why It Matters

Even though Microsoft later clarified that there was no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, the vulnerability remains significant because Entra ID is a core identity platform used for:
  • Microsoft 365 authentication
  • Azure access management
  • Single Sign-On (SSO)
  • Federated identity services
  • Third-party application authentication
A successful RCE vulnerability in such a service could potentially have broad consequences if it were exploitable.

For Entra Administrators

Since Microsoft applied the fix centrally, there are no patches to deploy. As a best practice, organizations may still want to:
  • Review Entra ID sign-in logs.
  • Audit privileged role assignments.
  • Verify Conditional Access policies.
  • Monitor for unusual identity-related activity.

Bottom Line

CVE-2026-69836 is a critical Entra ID RCE vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10.0, but Microsoft has since clarified that it was not exploited in the wild and has already mitigated the issue globally. No customer action is required.

ShinyHunters Claims Unprecedented FBI Hack, 2–3 TB of Data Allegedly Exfiltrated

-
Image
ShinyHunters claimed that it breached the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and exfiltrated roughly 2 to 3 TB of data. The claim is significant, but there is an important qualification: as of the latest reporting, the FBI has not publicly confirmed the claimed compromise or the scope of the alleged data theft. According to reporting published by The Register on September 22: Initial compromise: ShinyHunters says it exploited a previously unknown vulnerability in Oracle PeopleSoft exposed through the FBI's jobs website. The vulnerability allegedly provided remote code execution (RCE) on the affected servers. Website defacement: After obtaining access, the attackers reportedly defaced the FBI recruitment site with a message claiming the site had been seized by ShinyHunters. At the time of The Register's reporting, the FBI jobs site subsequently displayed a maintenance message. Lateral movement: The group claims it was able to move beyond the compromised recruitment in...

Image
CVE-2025-59287 is a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) . Here's a detailed breakdown of what it is, how it works, and what you should do about it: Overview Disclosed: October 2025 Patch Tuesday CVSS Score: 9.8 (Critical) Affected Systems: Windows Server 2012 through 2025 (including Server Core installations) Exploitability: Microsoft rates it as “Exploitation More Likely” Technical Details The vulnerability arises from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in WSUS. Specifically, the GetCookie() endpoint in WSUS processes encrypted AuthorizationCookie objects without proper type validation. The deserialization occurs via .NET BinaryFormatter , which is known to be insecure when handling untrusted input. Attackers can send a crafted SOAP request to WSUS over port 8530 , containing a malicious AuthorizationCookie . The cookie is decrypted using a hardcoded AES key and then deserialized, allow...

Cloud Infrastructures are Having a Bad Week

-
Image
  Today’s disruptions across Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) were significant, but they’re not signs of cloud computing’s demise. Instead, they underscore the risks of centralization and the importance of designing systems that can withstand provider-level failures. What happened today? • Microsoft Azure outage: Azure’s Front Door service suffered a major disruption due to a misconfiguration, impacting services like Outlook, Xbox, Microsoft 365, and even third-party platforms like Starbucks and Alaska Airlines. The Azure website states a little more than disruption. "Azure Front Door - Connectivity issues - Observing recovery Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC on 29 October 2025, customers and Microsoft services leveraging Azure Front Door (AFD) may have experienced latencies, timeouts, and errors. We have confirmed that an inadvertent configuration change was the trigger event for this issue. Affected Azure services may have included, but were not limited to: App S...

Broadcom is dismantling of VMware Cloud Service Providers (VCSPs)

-
Image
  What Broadcom Is Doing to the VCSP Program 1. Broadcom is shutting down the existing VCSP program Multiple sources confirm that Broadcom issued formal non‑renewal notices to many VMware Cloud Service Providers, ending contracts as of January 26, 2026 . Partners may finish existing commitments but cannot renew or create new long‑term contract commitments . 2. Moving to an invite‑only VCSP ecosystem Broadcom is replacing the open VCSP model with a highly selective, invite‑only program , keeping only a small fraction of providers . For example: • Only 19 providers in the U.S. were retained out of thousands. • Hundreds of European providers are being cut loose. 3. White Label program sunset (critical for smaller providers) The White Label model—previously the path for smaller CSPs—has been terminated (or will be phased out depending on region). This effectively eliminates market access for many small providers. 4. Providers that are cut must hand off customers Broadcom directs ...

FBI Seizes RAMP Cybercrime Forum

-
Image
The FBI has taken down RAMP (Russian Anonymous Marketplace) , one of the most active cybercrime forums used by ransomware gangs, initial access brokers, malware sellers, and extortion groups . The takedown affected both the clearnet and dark‑web (Tor) domains, which now display official FBI/DOJ seizure notices. Why RAMP Was Significant RAMP was: Known as “the only place ransomware allowed.” A major hub for groups including LockBit, ALPHV/BlackCat, Conti, DragonForce, Qilin, RansomHub , and more. A high‑trust marketplace offering malware, exploits, tutorials, and escrow services . Home to 14,000+ vetted users , some paying fees for anonymity. Impact of the Seizure 1. Major Disruption to Criminal Infrastructure The takedown is seen as a meaningful blow against ransomware‑as‑a‑service communities. 2. Forced Migration to Other Forums Criminal groups are already shifting activity to alternative platforms like Rehub . These migrations are chaotic and risky for criminals due to: Loss of rep...

  Instagram Data Leak What Happened? Cybersecurity firm Malwarebytes discovered a dataset containing personal information from approximately 17.5 million Instagram accounts circulating on dark web forums. The leaked data reportedly includes: Usernames Email addresses Phone numbers Partial physical addresses In some cases, location details .  How Did It Occur? The data appears to have been scraped via Instagram’s API , likely exploiting weaknesses in rate-limiting or privacy safeguards. A threat actor using the alias “Solonik” posted the dataset on BreachForums, claiming it originated from a 2024 API leak . Meta (Instagram’s parent company) denies any breach of internal systems , stating that the surge in password reset emails was due to a bug that allowed external parties to trigger reset requests, not unauthorized access.

Notepad++ update service was compromised

-
Image
  Notepad++ update service was compromised Multiple independent security investigations confirm that Notepad++’s update infrastructure was hijacked between June and December 2025 . This was a supply-chain attack originating from a compromise at the hosting‑provider level , not from Notepad++’s code. What exactly was compromised? 1. Update traffic was intercepted and redirected Attackers manipulated the update endpoint ( getDownloadUrl.php ) so that some users requesting updates were silently redirected to malicious servers serving tampered executables . 2. It was targeted , not widespread All sources emphasize that only specific users were affected, likely in an espionage‑focused campaign , not a mass malware distribution effort. 3. Hosting provider compromise, not a Notepad++ bug The attackers gained access to the shared hosting environment , losing direct access in September 2025 but maintaining stolen internal service credentials through December 2, 2025.
