Changelog

New updates and improvements at Cloudflare.

Introducing Origin Restrictions for Media Transformations

We are adding source origin restrictions to the Media Transformations beta. This allows customers to restrict what sources can be used to fetch images and video for transformations. This feature is the same as --- and uses the same settings as --- Image Transformations sources.

When transformations is first enabled, the default setting only allows transformations on images and media from the same website or domain being used to make the transformation request. In other words, by default, requests to example.com/cdn-cgi/media can only reference originals on example.com.

Enable allowed origins from the Cloudflare dashboard

Adding access to other sources, or allowing any source, is easy to do in the Transformations tab under Stream. Click each domain enabled for Transformations and set its sources list to match the needs of your content. The user making this change will need permission to edit zone settings.

For more information, learn about Transforming Videos.

SAML HTTP-POST bindings support for RBI

Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) now supports SAML HTTP-POST bindings, enabling seamless authentication for SSO-enabled applications that rely on POST-based SAML responses from Identity Providers (IdPs) within a Remote Browser Isolation session. This update resolves a previous limitation that caused 405 errors during login and improves compatibility with multi-factor authentication (MFA) flows.

With expanded support for major IdPs like Okta and Azure AD, this enhancement delivers a more consistent and user-friendly experience across authentication workflows. Learn how to set up Remote Browser Isolation.

New Applications Added for DNS Filtering

You can now create DNS policies to manage outbound traffic for an expanded list of applications. This update adds support for 273 new applications, giving you more control over your organization's outbound traffic.

With this update, you can:

  • Create DNS policies for a wider range of applications
  • Manage outbound traffic more effectively
  • Improve your organization's security and compliance posture

For more information on creating DNS policies, see our DNS policy documentation.

Publish messages to Queues directly via HTTP

You can now publish messages to Cloudflare Queues directly via HTTP from any service or programming language that supports sending HTTP requests. Previously, publishing to queues was only possible from within Cloudflare Workers. You can already consume from queues via Workers or HTTP pull consumers, and now publishing is just as flexible.

Publishing via HTTP requires a Cloudflare API token with Queues Edit permissions for authentication. Here's a simple example:

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<account_id>/queues/<queue_id>/messages" \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <api_token>' \
  --data '{ "body": { "greeting": "hello", "timestamp":  "2025-07-24T12:00:00Z"} }'

You can also use our SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Go.

To get started with HTTP publishing, check out our step-by-step example and the full API documentation in our API reference.

More ways to match — Snippets now support Custom Lists, Bot Score, and WAF Attack Score

You can now use IP, Autonomous System (AS), and Hostname custom lists to route traffic to Snippets and Cloud Connector, giving you greater precision and control over how you match and process requests at the edge.

In Snippets, you can now also match on Bot Score and WAF Attack Score, unlocking smarter edge logic for everything from request filtering and mitigation to tarpitting and logging.

What’s new:

  • Custom lists matching – Snippets and Cloud Connector now support user-created IP, AS, and Hostname lists via dashboard or Lists API. Great for shared logic across zones.
  • Bot Score and WAF Attack Score – Use Cloudflare’s intelligent traffic signals to detect bots or attacks and take advanced, tailored actions with just a few lines of code.
New fields in Snippets

These enhancements unlock new possibilities for building smarter traffic workflows with minimal code and maximum efficiency.

Learn more in the Snippets and Cloud Connector documentation.

Open email links with Browser Isolation

You can now safely open links in emails to view and investigate them.

Open links with Browser Isolation

From Investigation, go to View details, and look for the Links identified section. Next to each link, the Cloudflare dashboard will display an Open in Browser Isolation icon which allows your team to safely open the link in a clientless, isolated browser with no risk to the analyst or your environment. Refer to Open links to learn more about this feature.

To use this feature, you must:

  • Turn on Allow users to open a remote browser without the device client in your Zero Trust settings.
  • Have Browser Isolation (RBI) seats assigned.

For more details, refer to our setup guide.

This feature is available across these Email security packages:

  • Advantage
  • Enterprise
  • Enterprise + PhishGuard

URL Scanner now supports geo-specific scanning

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.

Improved Payload Logging for WAF Managed Rules

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.

Improved memory efficiency for WebAssembly Workers

FinalizationRegistry is now available in Workers. You can opt-in using the enable_weak_ref compatibility flag.

This can reduce memory leaks when using WebAssembly-based Workers, which includes Python Workers and Rust Workers. The FinalizationRegistry works by enabling toolchains such as Emscripten and wasm-bindgen to automatically free WebAssembly heap allocations. If you are using WASM and seeing Exceeded Memory errors and cannot determine a cause using memory profiling, you may want to enable the FinalizationRegistry.

For more information refer to the enable_weak_ref compatibility flag documentation.

UDP and ICMP Monitor Support for Private Load Balancing Endpoints

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.

Learn more about Private Network Load Balancing or view the full list of supported health monitor protocols.

Terraform v5.4.0 now available

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.

Upgrading

If you are evaluating a move from v4 to v5, please make use of the migration guide. We have provided automated migration scripts using Grit which simplify the transition, although these do not support implementations which use Terraform modules, so customers making use of modules need to migrate manually. Please make use of terraform plan to test your changes before applying, and let us know if you encounter any additional issues either by reporting to our GitHub repository, or by opening a support ticket.

Browser Isolation Overview page for Zero Trust

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:

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.

R2 Dashboard experience gets new updates

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.

Dark Mode for Zero Trust Dashboard

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.

FQDN Filtering For Gateway Egress Policies

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.
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.

Custom Errors are now Generally Available

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.
  • Powered by Ruleset Engine – Custom Error Rules support conditional logic and override Error Pages for 500 and 1000 class errors, as well as errors originating from your origin or other Cloudflare products. You can also configure Response Header Transform Rules to add, change, or remove HTTP headers from responses returned by Custom Error Rules.

Learn more in the Custom Errors documentation.

Cron triggers are now supported in Python Workers

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/handler/scheduled?cron=*+*+*+*+*:

npx wrangler dev --test-scheduled

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

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

Metadata filtering and multitenancy support in AutoRAG

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.

WAF Release - 2025-04-22

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.

Access bulk policy tester

The Access bulk policy tester is now available in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard. The bulk policy tester allows you to simulate Access policies against your entire user base before and after deploying any changes. The policy tester will simulate the configured policy against each user's last seen identity and device posture (if applicable).

Example policy tester
