Security organizations are expected to keep pace with a growing set of regulatory and industry requirements as their cloud environments grow. Yet maintaining compliance in modern, fast-moving infrastructure is increasingly difficult. Cloud resources change by the minute, teams adopt new services without centralized oversight, and evidence needed for audits is often scattered across tools and providers.

On October 13, 2025, security researchers from FearsOff identified and reported a vulnerability in Cloudflare's ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) validation logic that disabled some of the WAF features on specific ACME-related paths. The vulnerability was reported and validated through Cloudflare’s bug bounty program. The vulnerability was rooted in how our edge network processed requests destined for the ACME HTTP-01 challenge path (/.well-known/acme-challenge/*).

The Astro Technology Company, creators of the Astro web framework, is joining Cloudflare. Astro is the web framework for building fast, content-driven websites. Over the past few years, we’ve seen an incredibly diverse range of developers and companies use Astro to build for the web. This ranges from established brands like Porsche and IKEA, to fast-growing AI companies like Opencode and OpenAI.

A critical misconfiguration in Amazon Web Services (AWS) CodeBuild could have allowed attackers to gain complete control over GitHub repositories used in AWS CI/CD pipelines, including the widely used AWS JavaScript SDK, introducing a severe software supply chain risk. This vulnerability, codenamed CodeBreach, stemmed from insufficiently restrictive CI pipeline configurations, build triggers, and webhook filters.

Today, we’re excited to share that Cloudflare has acquired Human Native, a UK-based AI data marketplace specializing in transforming multimedia content into searchable and useful data.

What is a cloud workload protection platform (CWPP)? Security for the workloads actually running in your cloud—VMs, containers, and serverless functions doing real work. Unlike posture management (CSPM) that checks configurations, CWPPs monitor processes, network connections, and application behavior to catch threats as they happen. What’s the difference between CSPM, CWPP, CNAPP, and CADR? CSPM scans cloud settings for misconfigurations. CWPP protects running workloads.
