Cloudflare Release Notes

Enterprise customers can now choose the geographic location from which a URL scan is performed — either via Security Center in the Cloudflare dashboard or via the URL Scanner API.

This feature gives security teams greater insight into how a website behaves across different regions, helping uncover targeted, location-specific threats.

What’s new:

• Location Picker: Select a location for the scan via Security Center → Investigate in the dashboard or through the API.
• Region-aware scanning: Understand how content changes by location — useful for detecting regionally tailored attacks.
• Default behavior: If no location is set, scans default to the user’s current geographic region.

Learn more in the Security Center documentation.

We have upgraded WAF Payload Logging to enhance rule diagnostics and usability:

• Targeted logging: Logs now capture only the specific portions of requests that triggered WAF rules, rather than entire request segments.
• Visual highlighting: Matched content is visually highlighted in the UI for faster identification.
• Enhanced context: Logs now include surrounding context to make diagnostics more effective.

Log entry showing payload logging details

Payload Logging is available to all Enterprise customers. If you have not used Payload Logging before, check how you can get started.

Note: The structure of the encrypted_matched_data field in Logpush has changed from Map<Field, Value> to Map<Field, {Before: bytes, Content: Value, After: bytes}>. If you rely on this field in your Logpush jobs, you should review and update your processing logic accordingly.

Cloudflare Load Balancing now supports UDP (Layer 4) and ICMP (Layer 3) health monitors for private endpoints. This makes it simple to track the health and availability of internal services that don’t respond to HTTP, TCP, or other protocol probes.

What you can do:

• Set up ICMP ping monitors to check if your private endpoints are reachable.
• Use UDP monitors for lightweight health checks on non-TCP workloads, such as DNS, VoIP, or custom UDP-based services.
• Gain better visibility and uptime guarantees for services running behind Private Network Load Balancing, without requiring public IP addresses.

This enhancement is ideal for internal applications that rely on low-level protocols, especially when used in conjunction with Cloudflare Tunnel, WARP, and Magic WAN to create a secure and observable private network.

Earlier this year, we announced the launch of the new Terraform v5 Provider. Unlike the earlier Terraform providers, v5 is automatically generated based on the OpenAPI Schemas for our REST APIs. Since launch, we have seen an unexpectedly high number of issues ↗︎ reported by customers. These issues currently impact about 15% of resources. We have been working diligently to address these issues across the company, and have released the v5.4.0 release which includes a number of bug fixes. Please keep an eye on this changelog for more information about upcoming releases.

Changes

• Removes the worker_platforms_script_secret resource from the provider (see migration guide ↗︎ for alternatives—applicable to both Workers and Workers for Platforms)

• Removes duplicated fields in cloudflare_cloud_connector_rules resource

• Fixes cloudflare_workers_route id issues #5134 ↗︎ #5501 ↗︎

• Fixes issue around refreshing resources that have unsupported response types Affected resources

  • cloudflare_certificate_pack …

This week's analysis covers five CVEs with varying impact levels. Four are rated critical, while one is rated high severity. Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities dominate this set.

A new Browser Isolation Overview page is now available in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard. This centralized view simplifies the management of Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) deployments, providing:

• Streamlined Onboarding: Easily set up and manage isolation policies from one location.
• Quick Testing: Validate clientless web application isolation with ease.
• Simplified Configuration: Configure isolated access applications and policies efficiently.
• Centralized Monitoring: Track aggregate usage and blocked actions.

This update consolidates previously disparate settings, accelerating deployment, improving visibility into isolation activity, and making it easier to ensure your protections are working effectively.

Browser Isolation Overview

To access the new overview, log in to your Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard ↗︎ and find Browser Isolation in the side navigation bar.

We're excited to announce several improvements to the Cloudflare R2 dashboard experience that make managing your object storage easier and more intuitive:

Cloudflare R2 Dashboard

All-new settings page

We've redesigned the bucket settings page, giving you a centralized location to manage all your bucket configurations in one place.

Improved navigation and sharing

• Deeplink support for prefix directories: Navigate through your bucket hierarchy without losing your state. Your browser's back button now works as expected, and you can share direct links to specific prefix directories with teammates.
• Objects as clickable links: Objects are now proper links that you can copy or CMD + Click to open in a new tab.

Clearer public access controls

• Renamed "r2.dev domain" to "Public Development URL" for better clarity when exposing bucket contents for non-production workloads.
• Public Access status now clearly displays "Enabled" when your bucket is exposed to the internet (via Public Development URL or Custom Domains).

We've also made numerous other usability improvements across the board to make your R2 experience smoother and more productive.

The Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard ↗︎ now supports Cloudflare's native dark mode for all accounts and plan types.

Zero Trust Dashboard will automatically accept your user-level preferences for system settings, so if your Dashboard appearance is set to 'system' or 'dark', the Zero Trust dashboard will enter dark mode whenever the rest of your Cloudflare account does.

Zero Trust dashboard supports dark mode

To update your view preference in the Zero Trust dashboard:

1. Log into the Zero Trust dashboard ↗︎.
2. Select your user icon.
3. Select Dark Mode.

To update your view preference in the Core dashboard:

1. Log into the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎.
2. Go to My Profile
3. For Appearance, choose Dark.

Cloudflare One administrators can now control which egress IP is used based on a destination's fully qualified domain name (FDQN) within Gateway Egress policies.

• Host, Domain, Content Categories, and Application selectors are now available in the Gateway Egress policy builder in beta.
• During the beta period, you can use these selectors with traffic on-ramped to Gateway with the WARP client, proxy endpoints (commonly deployed with PAC files), or Cloudflare Browser Isolation.
  • For WARP client support, additional configuration is required. For more information, refer to the WARP client configuration documentation.

Egress by FQDN and Hostname

This will help apply egress IPs to your users' traffic when an upstream application or network requires it, while the rest of their traffic can take the most performant egress path.

You can now create Python Workers which are executed via a cron trigger.

This is similar to how it's done in JavaScript Workers, simply define a scheduled event listener in your Worker:

from workers import handler

@handler
async def on_scheduled(event, env, ctx):
  print("cron processed")

Define a cron trigger configuration in your Wrangler configuration file:

{
	"triggers": {
		// Schedule cron triggers:
		// - At every 3rd minute
		// - At 15:00 (UTC) on first day of the month
		// - At 23:59 (UTC) on the last weekday of the month
		"crons": [
			"*/3 * * * *",
			"0 15 1 * *",
			"59 23 LW * *"
		]
	}
}

[triggers]
crons = [ "*/3 * * * *", "0 15 1 * *", "59 23 LW * *" ]

Then test your new handler by using Wrangler with the --test-scheduled flag and making a request to /cdn-cgi/local/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*:

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled

curl "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/local/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*"

Consult the Workers Cron Triggers page for full details on cron triggers in Workers.

Custom Errors are now generally available for all paid plans — bringing a unified and powerful experience for customizing error responses at both the zone and account levels.

You can now manage Custom Error Rules, Custom Error Assets, and redesigned Error Pages directly from the Cloudflare dashboard. These features let you deliver tailored messaging when errors occur, helping you maintain brand consistency and improve user experience — whether it’s a 404 from your origin or a security challenge from Cloudflare.

What's new:

• Custom Errors are now GA – Available on all paid plans and ready for production traffic.
• UI for Custom Error Rules and Assets – Manage your zone-level rules from the Rules > Overview and your zone-level assets from the Rules > Settings tabs.
• Define inline content or upload assets – Create custom responses directly in the rule builder, upload new or reuse previously stored assets.
• Refreshed UI and new name for Error Pages – Formerly known as “Custom Pages,” Error Pages now offer a cleaner, more intuitive experience for both zone and account-level configurations. …

You can now filter AutoRAG search results by folder and timestamp using metadata filtering to narrow down the scope of your query.

This makes it easy to build multitenant experiences where each user can only access their own data. By organizing your content into per-tenant folders and applying a folder filter at query time, you ensure that each tenant retrieves only their own documents.

Example folder structure:

customer-a/logs/
customer-a/contracts/
customer-b/contracts/

Example query:

const response = await env.AI.autorag("my-autorag").search({
	query: "When did I sign my agreement contract?",
	filters: {
		type: "eq",
		key: "folder",
		value: "customer-a/contracts/",
	},
});

You can use metadata filtering by creating a new AutoRAG or reindexing existing data. To reindex all content in an existing AutoRAG, update any chunking setting and select Sync index. Metadata filtering is available for all data indexed on or after April 21, 2025.

If you are new to AutoRAG, get started with the Get started AutoRAG guide.

Each of this week's rule releases covers a distinct CVE, with half of the rules targeting Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks. Of the 6 CVEs covered, four were scored as critical, with the other two scored as high.

When deciding which exploits to tackle, Cloudflare tunes into the attackers' areas of focus. Cloudflare's network intelligence provides a unique lens into attacker activity – for instance, through the volume of blocked requests related with CVE exploits after updating WAF Managed Rules with new detections.

From this week's releases, one indicator that RCE is a "hot topic" attack type is the fact that the Oracle PeopleSoft RCE rule accounts for half of all of the new rule matches. This rule patches CVE-2023-22047, a high-severity vulnerability in the Oracle PeopleSoft suite that allows unauthenticated attackers to access PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools data through remote code execution. This is particularly concerning because of the nature of the data managed by PeopleSoft – this can include payroll records or student profile information. This CVE, along with five others, are addressed with the latest detection update to WAF Managed Rules.

Custom Fields now support logging both raw and transformed values for request and response headers in the HTTP requests dataset.

These fields are configured per zone and apply to all Logpush jobs in that zone that include request headers, response headers. Each header can be logged in only one format—either raw or transformed—not both.

By default:

• Request headers are logged as raw values
• Response headers are logged as transformed values

These defaults can be overridden to suit your logging needs.

Note

Transformed and raw values for request and response headers are available only via the API and cannot be set through the UI.

For more information refer to Custom fields documentation

Queues pull consumers can now pull and acknowledge up to 5,000 messages / second per queue. Previously, pull consumers were rate limited to 1,200 requests / 5 minutes, aggregated across all queues.

Pull consumers allow you to consume messages over HTTP from any environment—including outside of Cloudflare Workers. They’re also useful when you need fine-grained control over how quickly messages are consumed.

To setup a new queue with a pull based consumer using Wrangler, run:

Create a queue with a pull based consumersh

npx wrangler queues create my-queue
npx wrangler queues consumer http add my-queue

You can also configure a pull consumer using the REST API or the Queues dashboard.

Once configured, you can pull messages from the queue using any HTTP client. You'll need a Cloudflare API Token with queues_read and queues_write permissions. For example:

Pull messages from a queuebash

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/${CF_ACCOUNT_ID}/queues/${QUEUE_ID}/messages/pull" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \ …

You can now retrieve up to 100 keys in a single bulk read request made to Workers KV using the binding.

This makes it easier to request multiple KV pairs within a single Worker invocation. Retrieving many key-value pairs using the bulk read operation is more performant than making individual requests since bulk read operations are not affected by Workers simultaneous connection limits.

// Read single key
const key = "key-a";
const value = await env.NAMESPACE.get(key);

// Read multiple keys
const keys = ["key-a", "key-b", "key-c", ...] // up to 100 keys
const values : Map<string, string?> = await env.NAMESPACE.get(keys);

// Print the value of "key-a" to the console.
console.log(`The first key is ${values.get("key-a")}.`)

Consult the Workers KV Read key-value pairs API for full details on Workers KV's new bulk reads support.
