Microsoft’s Latest Security “Improvement” — The 2026 CSP Update That’ll Wreck Your Bloody Scripts

Well, grab your coffee, because Microsoft’s decided to screw with admins again. Apparently, by 2026, they’re going full big-brother mode with a “CSP update” that’ll block any “unauthorized scripts” running during Entra ID (yeah, that’s Azure AD with a fancy new name) login flows. Because obviously, we can’t be trusted to run our own bloody scripts anymore. Nope, Daddy Microsoft knows best.

So here’s the deal: They’re tightening up security in Conditional Access Custom Controls. Those lovely PowerShell-based or REST API scripts you use to automate the pain out of logins? Yeah, those are soon going to cause your logins to faceplant if they’re not officially approved, signed, and blessed by the great corporate gods in Redmond. By mid-2026, “non-compliant” scripts are going to be about as useful as Clippy at a Python conference.

Apparently, this is to prevent attackers from injecting their dodgy crap into authentication flows. Sounds noble, right? Except it’s going to hose every poor sysadmin who’s hacked together a custom script to deal with Microsoft’s 47-layered login circus. Expect broken logins, panic, and late-night Teams calls where some poor sod gets yelled at because “the system stopped working again.”

They promise to give “ample time” to test and migrate — which in Microsoft-speak means “good luck, peasant.” Oh, and they’ll provide official tools and APIs later, which will totally arrive on time and not months late, half-broken, and undocumented. Right.

So yeah — if you’re running Entra ID logins with clever custom automations, better start planning now. Test, re-code, and pray to whatever deity you think handles cloud auth nonsense, because 2026’s coming faster than your last server patch emergency.

Reminds me of that time I blocked the boss’s internet “for security reasons.” He was halfway through his Candy Crush high score when it went down, and I told him it was a “bandwidth prioritization policy.” Worked like a charm. Anyway, brace yourself — scriptpocalypse is coming, and I’ll be watching the chaos with popcorn.
