Microsoft Entra ID: Enhance protection of the authentication experience by blocking external script injection
Microsoft Entra ID will enhance sign-in security by enforcing a Content Security Policy blocking external script injection starting mid-October 2026. Only trusted Microsoft scripts will run, affecting organizations using script-injecting tools on login.microsoftonline.com. No action needed if such tools aren’t used. As part of Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative, we are strengthening the security of the Microsoft Entra ID sign-in experience by introducing additional Content Security Policy (CSP) protections. This change helps protect users from threats such as cross-site scripting (XSS) by allowing only trusted Microsoft-hosted scripts to run during authentication and blocking unauthorized or externally injected code.

Browser extensions and tools that inject scripts into Microsoft Entra ID sign-in pages may stop functioning. Users will continue to be able to sign in even if unsupported script injection tools no longer function. This change is enabled by default as part of the service update and does not require tenant configuration. Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL) and API-based authentication flows are not affected because CSP enforcement applies only to browser-based sign-in experiences using login.microsoftonline.com. Action required and recommendations If your organization does not use tools or extensions that inject code into Microsoft Entra ID sign-in pages, no action is required. If your organization uses tools […]
