Changelog

You can now automate your threat monitoring by setting up custom alerts in your saved views. Instead of manually checking the dashboard for updates, you can subscribe to notifications that trigger whenever new data matches your specific filter sets, like new activity associated to a particular threat actor or spikes in activity within your industry.

By linking your saved views to the Cloudflare Notifications Center, you can ensure the right information reaches your team at the right time.

• Immediate Alerts: receive real-time notifications the moment a critical event is detected that matches your saved criteria. This is essential for high-priority monitoring, such as tracking active campaigns from specific APT groups.

• Daily Digests: opt for a summarized report delivered once a day. This is ideal for maintaining situational awareness of broader trends, like regional activity shifts or industry-wide threat landscapes, without cluttering your inbox.

To set up an alert, go to Application Security > Threat Intelligence > Threat Events. From there:

1. Choose your datasets and apply your desired filters and select Save View (or select an existing one).
2. Open the Manage Saved Views menu.
3. Select Add Alert next to your chosen view to configure your notification preferences in the Cloudflare dashboard.

For more technical details on configuring notifications, refer to the Threat Events documentation.

A new GA release for the Windows Cloudflare One Client is now available on the stable releases downloads page.

This release contains minor fixes and improvements.

The next stable release for Windows will introduce the new Cloudflare One Client UI, providing a cleaner and more intuitive design as well as easier access to common actions and information.

Changes and improvements

• Fixed an issue causing Windows client tunnel interface initialization failure which prevented clients from establishing a tunnel for connection.
• Consumer-only CLI commands are now clearly distinguished from Zero Trust commands.
• Added detailed QUIC connection metrics to diagnostic logs for better troubleshooting.
• Added monitoring for tunnel statistics collection timeouts.
• Switched tunnel congestion control algorithm for local proxy mode to Cubic for improved reliability across platforms.
• Fixed packet capture failing on tunnel interface when the tunnel interface is renamed by SCCM VPN boundary support.
• Fixed unnecessary registration deletion caused by RDP connections in multi-user mode.
• Fixed increased tunnel interface start-up time due to a race between duplicate address detection (DAD) and disabling NetBT.
• Fixed tunnel failing to connect when the system DNS search list contains unexpected characters.
• Empty MDM files are now rejected instead of being incorrectly accepted as a single MDM config.
• Fixed an issue in local proxy mode where the client could become unresponsive due to upstream connection timeouts.
• Fixed an issue where the emergency disconnect status of a prior organization persisted after a switch to a different organization.
• Fixed initiating managed network detections checks when no network is available, which caused device profile flapping.
• Fixed an issue where degraded Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) state could put the client in a failed connection state loop during initialization.

Known issues

• For Windows 11 24H2 users, Microsoft has confirmed a regression that may lead to performance issues like mouse lag, audio cracking, or other slowdowns. Cloudflare recommends users experiencing these issues upgrade to a minimum Windows 11 24H2 version KB5062553 or higher for resolution. This warning will be omitted from future release notes. This Windows update was released in July 2025.

• Devices with KB5055523 installed may receive a warning about Win32/ClickFix.ABA being present in the installer. To resolve this false positive, update Microsoft Security Intelligence to version 1.429.19.0 or later. This warning will be omitted from future release notes. This Microsoft Security Intelligence update was released in May 2025.

• DNS resolution may be broken when the following conditions are all true:

  • The client is in Secure Web Gateway without DNS filtering (tunnel-only) mode.
  • A custom DNS server address is configured on the primary network adapter.
  • The custom DNS server address on the primary network adapter is changed while the client is connected.

  To work around this issue, reconnect the client by selecting Disconnect and then Connect in the client user interface.

Cloudflare Email security now supports Triage Status Tracking for User Submissions. This enhancement gives SOC teams a streamlined way to track, manage, and prioritize user-submitted emails directly within the Cloudflare One dashboard.

• The User Submissions table now includes a Status column with three states: Unreviewed (new submissions awaiting triage), Reviewed (submissions assessed by the SOC team), and Escalated (submissions escalated to team submissions for further investigation). Analysts can quickly update statuses and filter the table to focus on what needs attention.
• SOC teams can now organize their triage workflows, avoid duplicate reviews, and make sure critical threats get escalated for deeper investigation—bringing order to the chaos of high-volume submission management.

Triage Status Tracking is automatically available for all Email security customers using the user submissions feature. No additional configuration is required; customers just need to make sure user submissions are being sent to their user submission aliases.

This applies to all Email security packages:

• Advantage
• Enterprise
• Enterprise + PhishGuard

Cloudflare One Appliance now supports Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), allowing you to bundle up to six physical LAN ports into a single logical interface. Link aggregation increases available bandwidth and eliminates single points of failure on the LAN side of the appliance.

This feature is available in beta on physical appliance hardware with the latest OS. No entitlement is required.

To configure a Link Aggregation Group, refer to Configure link aggregation groups.

You can now manage mutual TLS (mTLS) and Bring Your Own Certificate Authority (BYO CA) configurations directly from the Cloudflare dashboard — no API required.

Previously, these advanced workflows required the Cloudflare API. The following are now available in the dashboard:

• AOP certificate management — Upload and manage your own certificate authorities for Authenticated Origin Pulls (AOP) directly from the dashboard.
• BYO Client mTLS certificate management — Upload and manage your own CA certificates for client mTLS enforcement without needing API access.
• CDN hostname to client mTLS certificate mapping — Associate client mTLS certificates with specific hostnames directly from the dashboard.

Cloudflare has officially launched a redesigned "Get Help" Support Portal to eliminate friction and get you to a resolution faster. Previously, navigating support meant clicking through multiple tiles, categorizing your own technical issues across 50+ conditional fields, and translating your problem into Cloudflare's internal taxonomy.

The new experience replaces that complexity with a personalized front door built around your specific account plan. Whether you are under a DDoS attack or have a simple billing question, the portal now presents a single, clean page that surfaces the direct paths available to you — such as "Ask AI", "Chat with a human", or "Community" — without the manual triage.

• One Page, Clear Choices: No more navigating a grid of overlapping categories. The portal now uses action cards tailored to your plan (Free, Pro, Business, or Enterprise), ensuring you only see the support channels you can actually use.
• A Radically Simpler Support Form: We've reduced the ticket submission process from four+ screens and 50+ fields to a single screen with five critical inputs. You describe the issue in your own words, and our backend handles the categorization.
• AI-Driven Triage: Using Cloudflare Workers AI ↗ and Vectorize ↗, the portal now automatically generates case subjects and predicts product categories.

Behind the scenes, we've moved the complexity from the user to our own developer stack. When you describe an issue, we use semantic embeddings to capture intent rather than just keywords.

By leveraging case-based reasoning, our system compares your request against millions of resolved cases to route your inquiry to the specialist best equipped to help. This ensures that while the front-end experience is simpler for you, the back-end routing is more accurate than ever.

To learn more, refer to the Support documentation or select Get Help directly in the Cloudflare Dashboard ↗.

This week's release introduces new detections for a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in MCP Server (CVE-2026-23744), alongside targeted protection for an authentication bypass vulnerability in SolarWinds products (CVE-2025-40552). Additionally, this release includes a new generic detection rule designed to identify and block Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) injection attempts leveraging "OnEvent" handlers within HTTP cookies.

Key Findings

• MCP Server (CVE-2026-23744): A vulnerability in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation where malformed input payloads can trigger a memory corruption state, allowing for arbitrary code execution.

• SolarWinds (CVE-2025-40552): A critical flaw in the authentication module allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass security filters and gain unauthorized access to the management console due to improper identity token validation.

• XSS OnEvents Cookies: This generic rule identifies malicious event handlers (such as onload or onerror) embedded within HTTP cookie values.

Impact

Successful exploitation of the MCP Server and SolarWinds vulnerabilities could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code or gain administrative control, leading to a full system takeover. Additionally, the new generic XSS detection prevents attackers from leveraging browser event handlers in cookies to hijack user sessions or execute malicious scripts.

The Workers runtime now automatically sends a reciprocal Close frame when it receives a Close frame from the peer. The readyState transitions to CLOSED before the close event fires. This matches the WebSocket specification ↗ and standard browser behavior.

This change is enabled by default for Workers using compatibility dates on or after 2026-04-07 (via the web_socket_auto_reply_to_close compatibility flag). Existing code that manually calls close() inside the close event handler will continue to work — the call is silently ignored when the WebSocket is already closed.

const [client, server] = Object.values(new WebSocketPair());
server.accept();

server.addEventListener("close", (event) => {
	// readyState is already CLOSED — no need to call server.close().
	console.log(server.readyState); // WebSocket.CLOSED
	console.log(event.code); // 1000
	console.log(event.wasClean); // true
});

The automatic close behavior can interfere with WebSocket proxying, where a Worker sits between a client and a backend and needs to coordinate the close on both sides independently. To support this use case, pass { allowHalfOpen: true } to accept():

const [client, server] = Object.values(new WebSocketPair());

server.accept({ allowHalfOpen: true });

server.addEventListener("close", (event) => {
	// readyState is still CLOSING here, giving you time
	// to coordinate the close on the other side.
	console.log(server.readyState); // WebSocket.CLOSING

	// Manually close when ready.
	server.close(event.code, "done");
});

For more information, refer to WebSockets Close behavior.

Cloudflare Email Security now supports DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) for MX deployments. This enhancement strengthens email transport security by enabling DNSSEC-backed certificate verification for our regional MX records.

• Regional MX hostnames now publish DANE TLSA records backed by DNSSEC, enabling DANE-capable SMTP senders to cryptographically validate certificate identities before establishing TLS connections—moving beyond opportunistic encryption to verified encrypted delivery.
• DANE support is automatically available for all customers using regional MX deployments. No additional configuration is required; DANE-capable mail infrastructure will automatically validate MX certificates using the published records.

This applies to all Email Security packages:

• Advantage
• Enterprise
• Enterprise + PhishGuard

We're announcing the public beta of Organizations for enterprise customers, a new top-level Cloudflare container that lets Cloudflare customers manage multiple accounts, members, analytics, and shared policies from one centralized location.

What's New

Organizations [BETA]: Organizations are a new top-level container for centrally managing multiple accounts. Each Organization supports up to 500 accounts and 5000 zones, giving larger teams a single place to administer resources at scale.

Self-serve onboarding: Enterprise customers can create an Organization in the dashboard and assign accounts where they are already Super Administrators.

Centralized Account Management: At launch, every Organization member has the Organization Super Admin role. Organization Super Admins can invite other users and manage any child account under the Organization implicitly. Shared policies: Share WAF or Gateway policies across multiple accounts within your Organization to simplify centralized policy management. Implicit access: Members of an Organization automatically receive Super Administrator permissions across child accounts, removing the need for explicit membership on each account. Additional Org-level roles will be available over the course of the year.

Unified analytics: View, filter, and download aggregate HTTP analytics across all Organization child accounts from a single dashboard for centralized visibility into traffic patterns and security events.

Terraform provider support: Manage Organizations with infrastructure as code from day one. Provision organizations, assign accounts, and configure settings programmatically with the Cloudflare Terraform provider ↗.

Shared policies: Share WAF or Gateway policies across multiple accounts within your Organization to simplify centralized policy management.

For more info:

• Get started with Organizations
• Set up your Organization
• Review limitations

Cloudflare has added a new field to the Gateway DNS Logpush dataset:

• ResponseTimeMs: Total response time of the DNS request in milliseconds.

For the complete field definitions, refer to Gateway DNS dataset.

You can now specify placement constraints to control where your Containers run.

Use regions to limit placement to specific geographic areas. Use jurisdiction to restrict containers to compliance boundaries — eu maps to European regions (EEUR, WEUR) and fedramp maps to North American regions (ENAM, WNAM).

Refer to Containers placement for more details.

We are partnering with Google to bring @cf/google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it to Workers AI. Gemma 4 26B A4B is a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model built from Gemini 3 research, with 26B total parameters and only 4B active per forward pass. By activating a small subset of parameters during inference, the model runs almost as fast as a 4B-parameter model while delivering the quality of a much larger one.

Gemma 4 is Google's most capable family of open models, designed to maximize intelligence-per-parameter.

• Mixture-of-Experts architecture with 8 active experts out of 128 total (plus 1 shared expert), delivering frontier-level performance at a fraction of the compute cost of dense models
• 256,000 token context window for retaining full conversation history, tool definitions, and long documents across extended sessions
• Built-in thinking mode that lets the model reason step-by-step before answering, improving accuracy on complex tasks
• Vision understanding for object detection, document and PDF parsing, screen and UI understanding, chart comprehension, OCR (including multilingual), and handwriting recognition, with support for variable aspect ratios and resolutions
• Function calling with native support for structured tool use, enabling agentic workflows and multi-step planning
• Multilingual with out-of-the-box support for 35+ languages, pre-trained on 140+ languages
• Coding for code generation, completion, and correction

Use Gemma 4 26B A4B through the Workers AI binding (env.AI.run()), the REST API at /run or /v1/chat/completions, or the OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

For more information, refer to the Gemma 4 26B A4B model page.

MCP server portals support in-session management of upstream MCP server connections. Users can return to the server selection page at any time to enable or disable servers, reauthenticate, or change which data a server has access to — all without leaving their MCP client.

To return to the server selection page, ask your AI agent with a prompt like "take me back to the server selection page." The portal responds with an authorization URL via MCP elicitation ↗ that you open in your browser:

https://<subdomain>.<domain>/authorize?elicitationId=<ELICITATION_ID>

From the server selection page you can:

• Enable or disable servers — Toggle individual upstream MCP servers on or off. Disabling a server removes its tools from the active session, which reduces context window usage.
• Log out and reauthenticate — Log out of a server and log back in to change which data the server has access to, or to reauthenticate with different permissions.

Users can also enable or disable a server inline by asking their AI agent directly, for example "enable the wiki server" or "disable my Jira server."

The portal also automatically prompts connected users to authorize new servers when an admin adds them to the portal. This requires the use of managed OAuth.

For more information, refer to Manage portal sessions.

AI Gateway now supports automatic retries at the gateway level. When an upstream provider returns an error, your gateway retries the request based on the retry policy you configure, without requiring any client-side changes.

You can configure the retry count (up to 5 attempts), the delay between retries (from 100ms to 5 seconds), and the backoff strategy (Constant, Linear, or Exponential). These defaults apply to all requests through the gateway, and per-request headers can override them.

This is particularly useful when you do not control the client making the request and cannot implement retry logic on the caller side. For more complex failover scenarios — such as failing across different providers — use Dynamic Routing.

For more information, refer to Manage gateways.

Cloudflare Logpush now supports BigQuery as a native destination.

Logs from Cloudflare can be sent to Google Cloud BigQuery ↗ via Logpush. The destination can be configured through the Logpush UI in the Cloudflare dashboard or by using the Logpush API.

For more information, refer to the Destination Configuration documentation.

All wrangler workflows commands now accept a --local flag to target a Workflow running in a local wrangler dev session instead of the production API.

You can now manage the full Workflow lifecycle locally, including triggering Workflows, listing instances, pausing, resuming, restarting, terminating, and sending events:

npx wrangler workflows list --local
npx wrangler workflows trigger my-workflow --local
npx wrangler workflows instances list my-workflow --local
npx wrangler workflows instances pause my-workflow <INSTANCE_ID> --local
npx wrangler workflows instances send-event my-workflow <INSTANCE_ID> --type my-event --local

All commands also accept --port to target a specific wrangler dev session (defaults to 8787).

For more information, refer to Workflows local development.

AI Search supports a wrangler ai-search command namespace. Use it to manage instances from the command line.

The following commands are available:

The create command guides you through setup, choosing a name, source type (r2 or web), and data source. You can also pass all options as flags for non-interactive use:

wrangler ai-search create my-instance --type r2 --source my-bucket

Use wrangler ai-search search to query an instance directly from the CLI:

wrangler ai-search search my-instance --query "how do I configure caching?"

All commands support --json for structured output that scripts and AI agents can parse directly.

For full usage details, refer to the Wrangler commands documentation.

Access authentication logs and Gateway activity logs (DNS, Network, and HTTP) now feature a refreshed user interface that gives you more flexibility when viewing and analyzing your logs.

The updated UI includes:

• Filter by field - Select any field value to add it as a filter and narrow down your results.
• Customizable fields - Choose which fields to display in the log table. Querying for fewer fields improves log loading performance.
• View details - Select a timestamp to view the full details of a log entry.
• Switch to classic view - Return to the previous log viewer interface if needed.

For more information, refer to Access authentication logs and Gateway activity logs.

Radar now features an expanded Routing section ↗ with dedicated sub-pages, providing a more organized and in-depth view of the global routing ecosystem. This restructuring lays the groundwork for additional routing features and widgets coming in the near future.

The single Routing page has been split into three focused sub-pages:

• Overview ↗ — Routing statistics, IP address space trends, BGP announcements, and the new Top 100 ASes ranking.
• RPKI ↗ — RPKI validation status, ASPA deployment trends, and per-ASN ASPA provider details.
• Anomalies ↗ — BGP route leaks, origin hijacks, and Multi-Origin AS (MOAS) conflicts.

The routing overview now includes a Top 100 ASes table ranking autonomous systems by customer cone size, IPv4 address space, or IPv6 address space. Users can switch between rankings using a segmented control.

The RPKI sub-page introduces a RPKI validation view for per-ASN pages, showing prefixes grouped by RPKI validation status (Valid, Invalid, Unknown) with visibility scores.

The IP address space ↗ chart now displays both IPv4 and IPv6 trends stacked vertically and is available on global, country, and AS views.

Check out the Radar routing section ↗ to explore the data, and stay tuned for more routing insights coming soon.

Two new fields are now available in rule expressions that surface Layer 4 transport telemetry from the client connection. Together with the existing cf.timings.client_tcp_rtt_msec field, these fields give you a complete picture of connection quality for both TCP and QUIC traffic — enabling transport-aware rules without requiring any client-side changes.

Previously, QUIC RTT and delivery rate data was only available via the Server-Timing: cfL4 response header. These new fields make the same data available directly in rule expressions, so you can use them in Transform Rules, WAF Custom Rules, and other phases that support dynamic fields.

Use a request header transform rule to tag requests from high-latency connections, so your origin can serve a lighter page variant:

Rule expression:

cf.timings.client_tcp_rtt_msec > 200 or cf.timings.client_quic_rtt_msec > 200

Header modifications:

cf.edge.l4.delivery_rate > 0 and cf.edge.l4.delivery_rate < 100000

For more information, refer to Request Header Transform Rules and the fields reference.

Workers Builds now supports Deploy Hooks — trigger builds from your headless CMS, a Cron Trigger, a Slack bot, or any system that can send an HTTP request.

Each Deploy Hook is a unique URL tied to a specific branch. Send it a POST and your Worker builds and deploys.

curl -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/workers/builds/deploy_hooks/<DEPLOY_HOOK_ID>"

To create one, go to Workers & Pages > your Worker > Settings > Builds > Deploy Hooks.

Since a Deploy Hook is a URL, you can also call it from another Worker. For example, a Worker with a Cron Trigger can rebuild your project on a schedule:

export default {
	async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
		ctx.waitUntil(fetch(env.DEPLOY_HOOK_URL, { method: "POST" }));
	},
};

export default {
  async scheduled(event: ScheduledEvent, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise<void> {
    ctx.waitUntil(fetch(env.DEPLOY_HOOK_URL, { method: "POST" }));
  },
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;

You can also use Deploy Hooks to rebuild when your CMS publishes new content or deploy from a Slack slash command.

• Automatic deduplication: If a Deploy Hook fires multiple times before the first build starts running, redundant builds are automatically skipped. This keeps your build queue clean when webhooks retry or CMS events arrive in bursts.
• Last triggered: The dashboard shows when each hook was last triggered.
• Build source: Your Worker's build history shows which Deploy Hook started each build by name.

Deploy Hooks are rate limited to 10 builds per minute per Worker and 100 builds per minute per account. For all limits, see Limits & pricing.

To get started, read the Deploy Hooks documentation.

Three new properties are now available on request.cf in Workers that expose Layer 4 transport telemetry from the client connection. These properties let your Worker make decisions based on real-time connection quality signals — such as round-trip time and data delivery rate — without requiring any client-side changes.

Previously, this telemetry was only available via the Server-Timing: cfL4 response header. These new properties surface the same data directly in the Workers runtime, so you can use it for routing, logging, or response customization.

export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const cf = request.cf;

    const rtt = cf.clientTcpRtt ?? cf.clientQuicRtt ?? 0;
    const deliveryRate = cf.edgeL4?.deliveryRate ?? 0;
    const transport = cf.clientTcpRtt ? "TCP" : "QUIC";

    console.log(`Transport: ${transport}, RTT: ${rtt}ms, Delivery rate: ${deliveryRate} B/s`);

    const headers = new Headers(request.headers);
    headers.set("X-Client-RTT", String(rtt));
    headers.set("X-Delivery-Rate", String(deliveryRate));

    return fetch(new Request(request, { headers }));
  },
};

For more information, refer to Workers Runtime APIs: Request.
