CVE-2026-69836 is an unsafe deserialization vulnerability in the Microsoft-hosted Entra ID identity and access management service, formerly Azure Active Directory. Processing attacker-controlled serialized data can allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code over a network without user interaction. The vulnerable component, endpoint, serialization format, and exploit chain have not been publicly identified. Microsoft applied a server-side fix. Initial claims of active exploitation were subsequently retracted, and the vulnerability's briefly added CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities entry was removed.

A critical unauthenticated network RCE vulnerability, categorized as CWE-502 (deserialization of untrusted data), in the server-side Microsoft Entra ID identity service. Its potential significance derives from Entra ID's role as a cloud identity trust root for Microsoft 365, Azure, and federated downstream applications. The article explicitly cautions that the affected deserializer, endpoint, object format, and gadget chain were not publicly disclosed.
