Changelog

New updates and improvements at Cloudflare.

Stream Workflow instance events in your Worker or via the API with .subscribe()

You can now stream Workflow instance events via WorkflowInstance.subscribe() and the GET /subscribe API endpoint. Workers and HTTP clients can react to workflow and step events, including attempts, sleeps, waits, and rollbacks, without polling for instance status.

A subscription first streams the entire event history of the Workflow instance. After streaming past events, the subscription waits for new events as the instance runs. You can use filter to receive only specific event types or cursor to start a subscription at a specific event.

Use .subscribe() to update Workflow status in user-facing dashboards, send notifications when steps complete, or trigger follow-up work for specific events.

const instance = await env.MY_WORKFLOW.get("report-123");

using subscription = await instance.subscribe();

while (true) {
	const { value, done } = await subscription.next();
	if (done) {
		break;
	}

	console.log(value.type, value);
}
const instance = await env.MY_WORKFLOW.get("report-123");

using subscription = await instance.subscribe();

while (true) {
	const { value, done } = await subscription.next();
	if (done) {
		break;
	}

	console.log(value.type, value);
}

For event types, available fields, and subscription options, refer to Subscribe to events.

Access for Infrastructure now supports tagged targets and tag-based target criteria

Access for Infrastructure now integrates with Resource Tagging. You can attach key-value tags to infrastructure targets and use them in access policies.

You can manage tags on targets inline when you create or edit a target or through the central Resource Tagging API. Cloudflare keeps tags in sync across both methods.

Infrastructure applications also support a target criteria model with include, require, and exclude operators. Each operator can match targets by hostname, tag, or both.

  • Include matches targets that have any of the specified values.
  • Require matches targets that have all of the specified values.
  • Exclude rejects targets that have any of the specified values.

Grant teammates and agents access to specific Workers

You can now grant access to specific Workers and choose from four roles to control the level of access you give teammates, agents, and CI/CD workflows.

Choose from four roles to control the level of access:

  • Metadata Read-Only: View settings, metrics, logs, and traces without access to Worker code or the ability to make changes.
  • Content Read-Only: Read Worker code, settings, and observability data without the ability to modify or deploy changes.
  • Editor: Update and deploy a Worker without the ability to delete it.
  • Admin: Everything in Editor, plus the ability to delete the Worker.
Permission policy form showing four roles scoped to an individual Worker

Worker-level access controls are available today for all customers. You can configure them in the Cloudflare dashboard, through the API, or with Terraform.

Roles designed for how teams build

Give Metadata Read-Only to a debugging agent so it can inspect settings and observability data without seeing Worker code. Give Content Read-Only to a code review agent so it can read code without changing it. Give Editor to a CI/CD workflow so it can deploy without deleting the Worker or accessing other Workers. Admin gives a teammate or agent full control over the Worker, including the ability to delete it.

Apply these roles across all Developer Platform products, across all Workers, or to an individual Worker.

Durable Objects

You can use granular permissions to control access to Durable Objects. Durable Objects do not have their own roles or scopes. Instead, they inherit the permissions assigned to the Worker that implements them.

Learn more about granular permissions in the Durable Objects documentation.

Grant access to members and User Groups

In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to Manage Account > Members and select a member. Create a permission policy, set the scope to Individual Workers, select the Workers they need, and choose a role to grant the right level of access.

If several people on the same team or project need the same access, assign the permission policy to a User Group instead of each member individually. Everyone added to the group automatically inherits the policy.

Create a scoped API token

For an agent or CI/CD workflow, go to Manage Account > Account API Tokens and create an account-owned API token. Set the scope to Specified Workers, select the Workers the token can access, and choose a role to grant the right level of access.

Account API token policy with Metadata Read-Only access scoped to a specific Worker

For more information, refer to the Workers roles and permissions documentation.

Require fresh authentication for SAML identity providers

Cloudflare Access can now request fresh authentication from a SAML identity provider for every login. Turn on Require reauthentication in the Cloudflare dashboard, or set force_authn to true through the API. Access will then set ForceAuthn to true in signed and unsigned SAML authentication requests.

This option is useful when an application requires users to reauthenticate at the identity provider instead of relying on an existing identity provider session. The default value is false.

For configuration details, refer to Require fresh authentication at the identity provider.

Prevent Unified Billing fallback for BYOK third-party providers

AI Gateway can now require credentials for third-party provider requests. Credentials must accompany the request or be stored on the gateway. This setting prevents fallback to Unified Billing with Cloudflare-managed credentials.

Turn on Require provider credentials in your gateway settings. To use the API, set byok_only to true in the request body of a PUT request to update the gateway:

{
	"byok_only": true
}

To require provider credentials for one third-party request, set the cf-aig-no-wholesale header to true. This header cannot relax the gateway setting.

Requests without applicable credentials then return an HTTP 400 response. Workers AI requests remain allowed, and the setting does not change their configured billing mode.

For configuration details and request-level controls, refer to Prevent Unified Billing fallback for BYOK third-party providers.

Control which hostnames Browser Run sessions can access

Browser Run now supports guardrails, which limit a browser session's HTTP and HTTPS requests to permitted hostnames.

Use guardrails when you need to:

  • Keep a browser workflow limited to a specific website and its subdomains.
  • Load only known third-party APIs, scripts, images, and fonts.
  • Generate a screenshot or PDF from HTML you provide while preventing it from loading external content.

Set guardrails when starting a session with Puppeteer, Playwright, or the REST API. With a browser binding named MYBROWSER, pass guardrails when launching Puppeteer:

import puppeteer from "@cloudflare/puppeteer";

export async function startGuardedSession(env) {
	return puppeteer.launch(env.MYBROWSER, {
		guardrails: {
			allowedDomains: ["example.com", "*.example.com"],
		},
	});
}
import puppeteer from "@cloudflare/puppeteer";

interface Env {
	MYBROWSER: Fetcher;
}

export async function startGuardedSession(env: Env) {
	return puppeteer.launch(env.MYBROWSER, {
		guardrails: {
			allowedDomains: ["example.com", "*.example.com"],
		},
	});
}

In addition to session guardrails, Browser Run now supports a read-only mode for Live View. Live View lets you watch and interact with an active Browser Run session in real time. A read-only link lets someone watch without clicking, typing, navigating, or running JavaScript.

To create a read-only link, set { mode: "readonly" } when generating the Live View URL. This setting affects only the person using that link. The session's hostname restrictions remain unchanged.

Refer to the guardrails documentation for more information.

Discover where sensitive data goes before you create a Data Loss Prevention policy

Passive Detection for Cloudflare Data Loss Prevention (DLP) lets you learn from your Gateway traffic before deciding what to log or block. Discover the sensitive data types in sampled traffic, explore their destinations, and use the findings to build policies around your organization's needs.

The dashboard brings together detections from sampled HTTP request and response bodies. Select an entry to follow its detections over time, review destinations, and check policy coverage. You do not need a Gateway DLP policy to get these insights, and existing Gateway policies continue to apply.

Passive Detection dashboard showing detection totals, data type distribution, policy coverage, and detection entries

Passive Detection is generally available. The detection entries available to your account depend on your Zero Trust plan.

To get started, refer to the Passive Detection documentation.

Shadowed record warnings are now available for all zones

Cloudflare now displays warnings for shadowed records in all zones. A record is shadowed when a subdomain delegation gives authority for its name, or a name below it, to another set of nameservers. The record remains present, but your zone is not authoritative for it thus Cloudflare will not respond with it to matching DNS queries. These warnings help you find records that may no longer resolve from the expected zone.

Shadow metadata is also available in DNS records API responses when you set include_shadow_metadata=true. The metadata identifies the delegating NS records and, when applicable, whether an A or AAAA record is glue. For more information, refer to Shadowed records.

Inspect Voice Agent turn latency and outcomes

@cloudflare/voice v0.4.0 now lets you inspect where each Voice Agent turn spends time and how it ends.

client.addEventListener("turnmetrics", (turn) => {
	console.log(turn.outcome, turn.turnTotalMs);
});

About the Voice package

The @cloudflare/voice package lets you build real-time voice agents with Cloudflare Agents. It streams microphone audio to an Agent over WebSocket, transcribes speech, runs your model through onTurn(), converts the response to speech, and streams audio back to the caller.

A turn moves through several stages:

User speaks -> speech-to-text -> model -> text-to-speech -> audio

Previously, the package's four aggregate metrics covered successful, non-empty speech turns. They did not show how failed, aborted, empty, or text turns ended.

Turn metrics

Each speech or text turn now produces a typed VoiceTurnMetrics summary with:

  • A turnId for correlating events from the same turn.
  • A terminal outcome such as completed, no_output, output_limit, content_filtered, model_error, tts_error, or aborted.
  • Timings for important stages, including speech-to-final-transcript, model-to-first-text, TTS-to-first-audio, and total turn duration.

These timings can overlap and are not additive. Timings for stages that a turn did not reach are omitted.

The latest summary is available through VoiceClient, useVoiceAgent(), and useVoiceInput(). Voice input includes only the speech and transcription timings it can measure.

If an agent produces no audio, you can now distinguish between the model returning no output, reaching an output limit, encountering content filtering, or failing.

Additional diagnostics

For local debugging, you can forward server lifecycle events to the browser console:

import { Agent } from "agents";
import { withVoice } from "@cloudflare/voice";

const VoiceAgent = withVoice(Agent, {
	diagnostics: {
		browserConsole: true,
	},
});
import { Agent } from "agents";
import { withVoice } from "@cloudflare/voice";

const VoiceAgent = withVoice(Agent, {
	diagnostics: {
		browserConsole: true,
	},
});

The browser console combines server lifecycle events with local microphone, connection, and playback events, including model start, first model text, first audio, and playback start. Diagnostics are off by default, and their event names and fields can change.

VoiceClient also exposes typed events for speech-to-text failures, connection errors, and model outcomes. The SDK removes known content fields and does not read arbitrary provider responses, but custom error messages must not contain sensitive data.

Install the release with a compatible Agents SDK version:

npm i @cloudflare/voice@^0.4.0 agents@^0.22.0

Refer to the Voice pipeline metrics and Voice Agent example to get started.

Default instance retention for new Workflows on Workers Paid is seven days

Workflows created on or after September 10, 2026, on the Workers Paid plan retain completed and errored instance state for seven days by default (previously 30 days). The seven day default helps to reduce storage costs by default. The maximum retention limit remains 30 days.

The retention period for existing Workflows is unchanged. The Workers Free plan retains its three-day default and limit.

To set the retention period for a Workflow instance, specify successRetention, errorRetention, or both:

const instance = await env.MY_WORKFLOW.create({
	retention: {
		successRetention: "2 days",
		errorRetention: "30 days",
	},
});
const instance = await env.MY_WORKFLOW.create({
	retention: {
		successRetention: "2 days",
		errorRetention: "30 days",
	},
});

You can also set the retention period per Workflow and per instance in the Cloudflare dashboard.

For retention details, refer to Workflows pricing and the WorkflowInstanceCreateOptions API reference.

Use Cloudflare Containers with Codex via the OpenAI Agents API

The OpenAI Agents API gives your application access to Codex through an OpenAI-managed API.

OpenAI manages sessions, orchestration, context compaction, and recovery while your application provides tools and uses Cloudflare Containers as the execution environment.

Cloudflare Containers can now provide self-hosted execution environments for the OpenAI Agents API. The open-source OpenAI Agents API Workers template provides a reference implementation. The Worker maintains a Cloudflare Container for each Codex session, keeps active work running, reconnects on follow-up input, and shuts down automatically when idle.

You can configure the reference implementation to meet your needs by extending the Container to provide controlled access to data and the network or by integrating it with other Cloudflare products.

To get started, refer to Run Codex on Cloudflare using the OpenAI Agents API.

WAF Release - 2026-09-10 - Emergency

This update provides immediate defense against a high-severity, actively exploited zero-day vulnerability targeting Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source storefronts.

Key Findings

  • Adobe Commerce and Magento RCE (CVE-2026-75650 / "StyleSmuggler"): Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability caused by improper neutralization of special elements in the platform's template engine. Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary PHP payloads through style properties to execute system commands and deploy persistent malware.

Impact

This emergency rule provides immediate edge-level mitigation and virtual patching, origin applications must be urgently updated. We strongly recommend to apply the hotfix outlined in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-146 and immediately rotate all potentially exposed encryption keys, integration tokens, and system credentials, as patching alone does not remediate an existing compromise.

AI Gateway custom costs support cache tokens

AI Gateway custom costs now support cache-read and cache-write token rates. This lets custom cost metrics reflect negotiated cache pricing across providers.

Add per_cache_read_token or per_cache_write_token to the cf-aig-custom-cost header:

{
	"per_token_in": 0.000001,
	"per_token_out": 0.000002,
	"per_cache_read_token": 0.0000001,
	"per_cache_write_token": 0.0000005
}

Cache-token pricing activates when either cache rate is present. An omitted cache rate defaults to per_token_in. If both cache rates are omitted, AI Gateway preserves the existing input and output calculation.

Providers can include cache tokens within input tokens or report them separately. AI Gateway automatically accounts for these differences and prevents double-counting.

For more information, refer to Custom costs.

Improved iOS tap-to-type experience for Browser Isolation

Browser Isolation has improved the tap-to-type experience for users on iOS devices.

Previously, Browser Isolation displayed a full-screen overlay with the message tap to type when users focused a text field. The prompt now appears inline over the focused text field, reducing disruption when users enter text in isolated sessions.

If the focused text field is too small to display the full prompt, Browser Isolation displays a keyboard icon in the center of the text field instead.

Inline tap-to-type prompt over a focused text field in Browser Isolation

iOS users should tap twice to begin entering text. This update applies automatically to Browser Isolation sessions on iOS.

For more information on why this interaction is required, refer to iOS limitations.

New CASB integration for Zoom

Cloudflare CASB now integrates with Zoom. The integration connects through Cloudflare's pre-built OAuth application — no manual app setup in Zoom is required. After an initial scan, CASB continuously scans your Zoom account to surface new findings as your environment changes.

Zoom is widely used for meetings, webinars, and collaboration. Misconfigurations in account settings, meeting security controls, and recording access can expose organizations to data leakage, unauthorized access, and compliance risk. Cloudflare CASB ingests Zoom account data via API to surface security findings across these areas.

Key capabilities

Starting today, security teams can scan for security findings across the following assets:

  • Account settings — Detect weak password policies, unlocked security controls, and two-factor authentication gaps across your Zoom account
  • User accounts — Identify users not enforcing SSO, accounts with insecure host keys, unverified or inactive users, and unsafe overrides of account-level security settings
  • Meetings — Surface meetings without passwords or waiting rooms, meetings using Personal Meeting IDs (PMIs), and meetings with external domain hosts
  • Recordings — Detect publicly accessible cloud recordings, recordings without passcodes, and weak recording password configurations
  • Content — Identify sensitive information in meeting and recording content via DLP Profile matching

Learn more

This integration is available to all Cloudflare Zero Trust customers today. New customers can sign up and start with their first two integrations for free. Existing customers can enable the integration directly in the Cloudflare One dashboard under Cloud & SaaS findings > Integrations. The integration begins scanning immediately and surfaces findings in the dashboard within minutes.

Radar search now includes Internet events

Cloudflare Radar search now includes Internet events and outages alongside existing results. Search event descriptions or related entities, such as locations, ASes, bots, and top-level domains, to find relevant events and open the most relevant Radar view.

Miniflare v5 prepares local development for the cf CLI

Miniflare v5 prepares Cloudflare local development tooling for the upcoming cf CLI.

Miniflare powers local Workers development behind wrangler dev, the Cloudflare Vite plugin, and @cloudflare/vitest-plugin. Most projects should use those tools instead of depending on Miniflare directly, and Miniflare v5 will not require any action.

The most significant change is a new configuration shape which aligns Miniflare with cloudflare.config.ts, the programmatic Cloudflare configuration format now available for testing.

Other breaking changes include:

  • Removed deprecated APIs and options, such as legacy alpha D1 bindings.
  • Removed now-unused, internal APIs like wrappedBindings
  • Removed Miniflare's built-in module discovery; higher-level tools like Wrangler and the Vite plugin should be providing the module graph.
  • Moved local-only /cdn-cgi routes under /cdn-cgi/local.
  • Replaced per-resource persistence options with shared persistence root options.

For a more comprehensive list, refer to Miniflare's changelog

This work sets up a cleaner foundation for the next generation of local development tooling, including the new cf CLI.

Python 3.14 for Python Workers

Python workers now use Python 3.14 by default.

This change applies to all new Python workers using compatibility date 2026-09-08 or later.

Internally, this change updates the Pyodide runtime to 314.0.6.
