Cloudflare is rolling out updated formatting for the data field in the 1.1.1.1 DoH JSON API (application/dns-json). During the roll out responses may use either the old or new format.
Human-readable display for additional record types
Several record types previously returned their data field in RFC 3597 ↗ generic hex encoding (\# <length> <hex>). These now use standard presentation format:
DNSSEC-related records now use numeric algorithm identifiers as defined in RFC 4034 ↗ instead of mnemonic names. This affects RRSIG, DS, CDS, DNSKEY, and CDNSKEY records. For example, RSASHA256 becomes 8, ECDSAP256SHA256 becomes 13, and ED25519 becomes 15. DS digest types also change from mnemonic to numeric: SHA-256 becomes 2.
Cloudflare's product-specific MCP servers now support the new MCP 2026-07-28 Specification. Each request runs on a fresh stateless server without an MCP protocol session or protocol-specific Durable Object.
The /mcp endpoint also accepts stateless requests from 2025 Streamable HTTP clients. Most clients can reconnect without configuration changes.
Use /mcp for new connections. Historical /sse URLs continue to work as aliases for the same Streamable HTTP handler, but they no longer serve the deprecated HTTP+SSE transport. If a client forces SSE transport, change it to Streamable HTTP or automatic transport detection.
Browser Run now supports structured handoff for Human in the Loop workflows. Using Cloudflare-specific CDP commands, your agent can signal that it needs help, a human steps in through Live View to handle the task, and the agent resumes once the work is done.
For agents running multi-step browser workflows, a single login wall or unexpected prompt can fail the entire run. Previously, scripts had to manage human intervention manually by sharing a Live View URL and polling for completion. Structured handoff replaces this with a formal pause-and-resume flow.
The following example requests human intervention for a login page and waits for the human to finish before continuing:
const cdp = await page.createCDPSession();// Get Live View URL for the human operatorconst { devtoolsFrontendUrl } = await cdp.send("Cloudflare.getLiveView", { mode: "tab",});console.log(`Human input needed: ${devtoolsFrontendUrl}`);// Request human intervention and wait for completionconst handoffComplete = new Promise((resolve) => { cdp.once("Cloudflare.handoffComplete", resolve);});await cdp.send("Cloudflare.handoff", { instructions: "Please log in with your credentials", timeout: 600000,});const result = await handoffComplete;console.log(result.success ? "Handoff complete" : `Failed: ${result.reason}`);
Agents SDK v0.20.0 adds client and server support for the MCP 2026-07-28 release candidate ↗. Workers can serve tools, prompts, resources, and elicitation without an MCP transport session or Durable Object. Agents can connect to both MCP 2026-07-28 servers and existing legacy servers.
Client support
The MCP client manager now uses @modelcontextprotocol/client. For each connection, it probes for MCP 2026-07-28 support with server/discover. If the server does not support the stateless protocol, the client continues with the legacy initialize handshake on the same connection. Existing addMcpServer calls do not need a protocol-version setting or separate clients for each protocol generation.
For stateless requests, elicitation uses input_required through multi-round-trip requests (MRTR). The legacy path uses the same form and URL handlers for pushed requests. The SDK collects input, retries the original operation, and resolves the original callTool, getPrompt, or readResource promise with its final result.
OAuth callbacks now validate issuer metadata through the v2 SDK. Discovery state and issuer-bound credentials persist across browser redirects and Durable Object hibernation.
Run stateless servers
createMcpHandler now accepts a factory that returns a server from @modelcontextprotocol/server. The factory creates an isolated server for each request.
The isolated agents/mcp/server entry keeps McpAgent, WorkerTransport, MCP client transports, and SDK v1 modules out of stateless server bundles.
The Workers wrapper validates present browser Origins, supports explicit delegation to trusted Origin middleware, and exposes request handling plus typed change notifications.
Backward compatibility
The same createMcpHandler(createServer)(request, env, ctx) route serves MCP 2026-07-28 clients and legacy clients that use stateless requests. You do not need separate routes or tool definitions for ordinary tools, prompts, and resources.
McpAgent is deprecated and feature-frozen. Migrate existing McpAgent servers to the stateless handler at your earliest convenience. If a server depends on protocol sessions, RPC, pushed server-to-client requests, standalone streams, or replay, use the migration guide to design stateless equivalents and run both routes while clients transition.
Migrate existing SDK v1 servers
Upgrade the Agents SDK:
npm i agents@latest
yarn add agents@latest
pnpm add agents@latest
bun add agents@latest
Move ordinary SDK v1 server definitions into an SDK v2 factory and serve them with createMcpHandler. The handler's default legacy compatibility means most stateless deployments need only one route.
If an existing McpAgent server still needs sessionful features, add the stateless path beside it. Use isLegacyRequest() to send only legacy traffic to the existing route:
Migrate the remaining sessionful features, allow existing sessions to drain, then remove the legacy route. Refer to Migrate to MCP SDK v2 for package changes, compatibility limits, and rollout steps.
Deprecations in v0.20.0
This release deprecates the following Agents SDK APIs:
Deprecated API
Replacement
Status
McpAgent
Use an SDK v2 factory with createMcpHandler for stateless servers. Use the migration guide to replace stateful features before removing a legacy route.
Feature-frozen. No removal version is announced.
createMcpHandler(v1Server, options)
Move the server to an SDK v2 factory and call createMcpHandler(factory, options). Use createLegacyMcpHandler only as a temporary bridge for sessionful features.
Scheduled for removal in the next major version.
MCPClientManager.callTool(params, resultSchema, options) and the equivalent withX402Client overload
Use callTool(params, options) or callTool(confirm, params, options).
Compatibility overload. No removal version is announced.
The MCP 2026-07-28 draft separately deprecates Roots, Sampling, Logging, the old HTTP+SSE transport, and Dynamic Client Registration.
Wrangler now provides createTestHarness(), an API for running integration tests against Workers built with Wrangler or the Cloudflare Vite plugin from any Node.js test runner.
The agents, @cloudflare/ai-chat, @cloudflare/codemode, and @cloudflare/think packages now support AI SDK v6 and v7. Existing applications can remain on v6 when updating these packages. Applications can also adopt v7 without changing the Cloudflare Agents APIs they use.
The supported peer ranges are ai@^6 || ^7 and @ai-sdk/react@^3 || ^4. Use matching major versions: pair AI SDK v6 with @ai-sdk/react v3, or pair AI SDK v7 with @ai-sdk/react v4.
To install the latest packages with AI SDK v7:
npm i agents@latest @cloudflare/ai-chat@latest @cloudflare/codemode@latest @cloudflare/think@latest ai@^7 @ai-sdk/react@^4
bun add agents@latest @cloudflare/ai-chat@latest @cloudflare/codemode@latest @cloudflare/think@latest ai@^7 @ai-sdk/react@^4
Think normalizes streaming, tool completion events, and telemetry across both AI SDK versions. Existing v6 applications do not need to migrate these integrations before updating Think.
This release reduces repeated MCP schema conversion and adds an opt-out for Think's automatic MCP tool exposure. It also lets non-AI-SDK hosts invoke the durable Code Mode runtime directly.
Control direct MCP tool exposure in Think
Agents SDK MCP clients now reuse converted input and output schemas while a live connection keeps the same tool catalog. This avoids converting every MCP JSON Schema to Zod again for each model turn.
@cloudflare/think also adds includeMcpTools. Set it to false when you expose MCP tools through Code Mode or another mechanism outside Think's automatic tool set:
import { Think } from "@cloudflare/think";export class MyAgent extends Think { includeMcpTools = false; waitForMcpConnections = true;}
import { Think } from "@cloudflare/think";export class MyAgent extends Think<Env> { includeMcpTools = false; waitForMcpConnections = true;}
This setting skips Think's automatic getAITools() call. MCP registration, restoration, discovery, raw catalog access, direct calls, and Code Mode connectors continue to work.
@cloudflare/codemode@latest adds execute(), search(), and describe() to the durable runtime handle. MCP servers and other hosts can now execute code and discover connector methods without adapting the runtime to an AI SDK tool.
Search and describe results include requiresApproval: true for protected connector methods. Resolve a paused execution with the existing approve() and reject() methods.
This hotfix resolves a regression that caused a large increase in DNS-over-TCP queries to fallback and internal DNS servers. The client now sends fallback DNS queries over UDP first, falling back to TCP only when a response is truncated, instead of querying both protocols in parallel.

Review the Permission Groups API documentation; the response schema differs from the legacy Roles response.
Highlights
Integrations migrating to the Permission Groups API must obtain Permission Group IDs from that API and use them in the Account Members API policies request shape. Integrations that persist legacy Role IDs will need to remap their assignments.
The legacy Role response includes a top-level description and a permissions object keyed by resource type with edit/read flags.
The PermissionGroup response replaces those with a meta object containing label and scopes. Individual permissions are not returned as part of the permission group.
The new API supports the API Token authorization scheme. The legacy Email + API Key authorization schema is provided for backwards compatibility.
Devin Outposts ↗ lets you run Devin agents on Cloudflare. Each Devin session runs in its own isolated sandbox backed by Cloudflare Containers, so agents can execute code and use development tooling in an isolated environment.
Use Devin Outposts when you want Devin sessions to run on Cloudflare managed infrastructure, with each session isolated from the others.
Cloudflare now takes the guesswork out of TLS 1.3 key agreement with your origins. Automatic key exchange predicts the preferred algorithm and sends its key share in the first ClientHello, helping avoid a HelloRetryRequest and one extra network round trip.
Automatic key exchange is on for all existing zones and on by default for new zones. When an origin supports both classical and post-quantum key agreements, Cloudflare prefers the post-quantum X25519MLKEM768 hybrid key agreement.
To change this behavior, go to SSL/TLS > Overview > Origin connection & post-quantum encryption. Turn off Automatic key exchange to stop automatic scans and preference updates. Turning it off does not change your compliance requirements.
Compliance requirements apply only to TLS 1.3 connections. The Post-quantum hybrid option requires hybrid post-quantum key agreements support on your origin server. The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) option requires FIPS-compliant key agreements. Select both to require key agreements that satisfy both, or leave both unselected to allow all supported key agreements.
This release introduces new rules for vulnerabilities in Adobe ColdFusion, Next.js, WordPress alongside updates to existing rules thereby providing enhanced generic protections against Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Local File Inclusion (LFI), and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
WAF and framework adapter mitigations for Next.js vulnerabilities
Multiple security vulnerabilities ↗ were disclosed and patched by the Next.js team through July 2026 security release. These include denial of service, middleware and proxy bypass, server-side request forgery, information disclosure, and cache poisoning across a range of severities.
Several of the disclosed vulnerabilities are not possible to block at WAF layer,we strongly recommend updating your application and its dependencies immediately. Patched versions are available through v16.2.11 (Active LTS) and v15.5.21 (Maintenance LTS) to address these issues.
Crafted requests targeting Next.js applications using App Router with at least one Server Action can lead to excessive CPU usage. The CPU usage blocks processing of further requests in the same process, leading to Denial of Service.
WAF rule Next.js - DoS - CVE-2026-64641 () has been deployed to provide coverage.
Next.js applications using App Router built with Turbopack and a single entry in config.i18n.locales are vulnerable to a middleware/proxy bypass. Accordingly, any authentication or security checks that a middleware/proxy may perform are bypassed.
This is a middleware bypass that unfortunately cannot be covered through Cloudflare WAF signature engine.
A rewrites() or redirects() rule that builds its external destination hostname from request-controlled input can be pointed at an arbitrary hostname, regardless of the rule's hostname suffix. For rewrites, this behavior enables Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF); for redirects, Open Redirect can be achieved.
Existing SSRF rules provide adequate coverage for this vulnerability, no tailored WAF rule was developed.
When a Server Action forwards or redirects a request, an attacker can cause the server to send that outbound request to a malicious host (Server-Side Request Forgery). This requires the attacker’s request to control Host-associated headers.
WAF rule Next.js - SSRF - CVE-2026-64649 () has been deployed to provide coverage.
When self-hosting Next.js with the default image loader, the Image Optimization API can optimize remotely hosted images if configured (not enabled by default). If those images contain malicious content, the images can cause CPU exhaustion in the /_next/image endpoint.
Malicious request is unfortunately indistinguishable from a legitimate image optimization request, so no WAF rule has been created to address this vulnerability.
A crafted request can lead to memory consumption on Server Actions in the Edge runtime. Next.js applications which use App Router and have at least one Server Action are affected.
Unfortunately there is no one size fits all rule that can be deployed through WAF in lieu of custom bodySizeLimit configurations, so no WAF rule has been created to address this vulnerability.
In Next.js applications using App Router, Server Actions (use server) or use cache endpoint IDs can be globally disclosed. An attacker can use this for reconnaissance and as part of a broader attack chain.
WAF rule Next.js - Information Disclosure - CVE-2026-64643 () has been deployed to provide coverage.
A server-side fetch with a request body may return a cached response body from a different request to the same URL but different body. This only applies for fetch calls of the shape fetch(new Request(init), aDifferentInit)
This is an application logic bug that unfortunately cannot be covered through Cloudflare WAF signature engine.
A server-side fetch with a request body may return a cached response body from a different request to the same URL but different body. This only applies when receiving request bodies which contain invalid UTF-8 characters.
This is an application logic bug that unfortunately cannot be covered through Cloudflare WAF signature engine.
Key Findings
CVE-2026-48276: A path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion file upload mechanisms allows unauthenticated attackers to write or upload files to arbitrary locations outside designated directories on the origin server.
CVE-2026-48282: A path traversal vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion enables unauthenticated attackers to manipulate directory sequences and access restricted system files on the host filesystem.
CVE-2026-60137: An unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability affecting WordPress. Threat actors exploit unsanitized input parameters to execute arbitrary SQL queries, leading to unauthorized database access, record manipulation, or data exfiltration.
CVE-2026-63030: A remote code execution vulnerability affecting WordPress core and plugin components. Remote, unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary system commands to gain unauthorized access or establish backdoors on host servers.
Cloudflare Access now uses the standard browser-based login flow for private applications served over plaintext HTTP on port 80.
Previously, plaintext HTTP private apps fell back to the same session flow used for SSH, RDP, and other non-HTTP protocols: users got an Authentication required pop-up from the Cloudflare One Client, then had to select the notification to open a browser and log in. Now, users hitting an HTTP private app see the Access login page directly in the browser and receive a standard Access application token on success.
This brings the HTTP experience in line with HTTPS apps (with Gateway TLS decryption turned on). No configuration change is required. The Cloudflare One Client is still required to route traffic to the private network, but it no longer manages the Access session for HTTP apps.
Other non-HTTP protocols (SSH, RDP, arbitrary TCP/UDP) continue to use the Cloudflare One Client notification flow.
We are turning on budget alerts by default for eligible Pay-as-you-go accounts. If your account does not already have a budget alert, Cloudflare will create one for you with a $10 account-level threshold. Your default alert will enable at the turn of your next billing cycle, so it will not fire based on usage you have already incurred.
We are rolling this out in cohorts over the coming weeks, so eligible accounts may see their default alert appear at different times.
The default alert behaves exactly like an alert you would create yourself. When your cumulative usage-based spend this cycle reaches the threshold, you receive an email notification. The alert is informational only. It does not cap your usage or impact your account in any way.
Usage is processed once per day for the prior day's activity, so budget alerts fire the day after the threshold is reached rather than in real time.
Budget alerts only consider spend on usage-based products. Recurring subscription fees, such as the Workers Paid plan fee or other monthly plan charges, are not included in the threshold calculation.
You can change the threshold, add additional alerts, or remove the default alert entirely from Manage Account > Billing > Billable Usage, or from your Notifications settings. If you already configured your own budget alert, nothing changes.
You can now monitor the total SQLite storage used by a Durable Object namespace over time in the Cloudflare dashboard. The new Total storage chart shows the maximum storage reported during each hour. This helps you identify storage growth, validate data cleanup, and investigate unexpected usage.
The chart appears only for SQLite-backed Durable Object namespaces. It does not appear for namespaces that use the legacy key-value storage backend. Viewing storage for individual Durable Objects by ID or name is not supported.
You can now preview the content of sent emails directly from the Email Service Activity log. Expand a sent email and open the new Preview section to inspect the message as it was sent, across tabs for the rendered HTML body, the Text body, the Headers, the Attachments, and the full RawRFC 5322 ↗ source.
Previously, the Activity log surfaced delivery and authentication metadata but not the message content, making rendering and content issues harder to debug. Message preview closes that gap.
To make messages previewable, turn on Email preview in your sending domain's settings. Previews cover messages sent while the setting is turned on and are retained for about seven days. Sending domains onboarded on or after 2026-07-02 have Email preview turned on automatically.
Cloudflare Gateway now supports advanced header control on Allow policies. Administrators can add, overwrite, or delete headers on matching requests using static values or dynamic variables.
Header operations
Gateway HTTP policies using the Allow action support three operations in rule_settings:
Operation
API field
Behavior
Add
add_headers
Appends a value to the header. Existing values are preserved.
Overwrite
set_headers
Replaces the header value. Creates the header if it does not exist.
Delete
delete_headers
Removes the header from the request.
Gateway applies operations in order: delete, then overwrite, then add.
Dynamic variables
Header values can include dynamic variables using the @{...} syntax. Gateway resolves variables at request time from identity, device, and network context.
Variable
Description
@{identity.email}
User email from the identity provider
@{identity.name}
User display name from the identity provider
@{identity.id}
Cloudflare identity UUID
@{identity.groups}
Identity provider group memberships
@{identity.SAML}
SAML attributes (if configured)
@{identity.OIDC}
OIDC claims (if configured)
@{source.ip}
Source IP of the connection
@{destination.ip}
Destination IP of the request
@{device.id}
Cloudflare One Client device UUID
@{device.posture}
Device posture check results (JSON string)
You can mix static text and dynamic variables in a single header value. For example, user-@{identity.email} resolves to user-jdoe@example.com.
Distributor, MSSP, and Agency partners on Cloudflare Organizations can now add and manage Organization Members directly from the Cloudflare dashboard, without help from Cloudflare.
Previously, adding a member to a Distributor, MSSP, or Agency Organization was a manual, Cloudflare-assisted process that required a request to Cloudflare and enrollment in a closed beta, and the dashboard Add member flow was blocked for these Organizations.
Now, Organization admins can add members themselves from Organization > Members > Add member, with no beta enrollment required.
New members receive access to the Organization's accounts through the same implicit-access model already used for enterprise Organizations. The Accounts list and the account switcher classify Distributor, MSSP, and Agency Organizations consistently with enterprise Organizations, so their accounts are labeled and grouped correctly in the dashboard.
Agency partners also gain access to the Organizations dashboard, while retaining access to their existing Tenant management dashboard.
Distributor, MSSP, and Agency Organizations are currently in beta.
This emergency release adds a new managed rule to block active exploitation of a critical remote code execution (RCE) and SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability found in popular web frameworks.
Key Findings
Generic Frameworks - Unauthenticated RCE: Attackers can execute arbitrary system commands with web server privileges by sending malicious input containing invalid path sequences during request processing.
Generic Frameworks - SQLi: Attackers can execute unauthorized database queries due to a failure to sanitize input values within request parameters.
Users in browser-based RDP sessions can now print multiple PDF files as a single print job. Copy the files to your clipboard on the remote machine, then select Print all PDFs in the clipboard panel. The files are combined into one PDF and sent to your local printer.
Bulk print is available in Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. For more information, refer to Print PDFs for browser-based RDP.
After a flag exists, change its default variation or use enable and disable commands as kill switches. Existing targeting rules continue to apply unless you change or clear them explicitly:
These commands can also be used from CI/CD pipelines, scripts, and AI agents to inspect Flagship state, update flag behavior, or roll back changes through Wrangler.
Bot management fields and ASN support in Cache Rules
Cache Rules now supports bot management fields and the ip.src.asnum field in expression filters. You can now build cache policies that differentiate between automated and human traffic, or segment caching behavior by autonomous system number (ASN).
This allows you to apply different caching strategies for verified bots, high-risk traffic, or specific network operators without affecting legitimate user requests. For example, you can set shorter cache TTLs for suspected bot traffic or bypass cache entirely for requests from specific ASNs.
New fields
The following fields are now available in Cache Rules expressions:
Field
Type
Description
cf.bot_management.score
Number
Bot score from 1 to 99, where a lower value indicates a higher likelihood that the request originates from a bot.
cf.bot_management.ja3_hash
String
JA3 fingerprint of the request, which helps identify the client making the connection.
cf.bot_management.ja4
String
JA4 fingerprint of the request, which provides a more detailed client identification than JA3.
cf.bot_management.verified_bot
Boolean
Whether the request originates from a verified bot, such as a search engine crawler.
cf.bot_management.static_resource
Boolean
Whether the request is for a static resource and therefore exempt from bot detection.
cf.bot_management.js_detection.passed
Boolean
Whether the browser passed JavaScript detection when the feature is enabled.
cf.bot_management.attack_score
Number
Classifies the request by attack score, from 1 (likely automated) to 99 (likely human).
cf.bot_management.api_score
Number
Classifies the request by API score, from 1 (likely automated) to 99 (likely human).
cf.bot_management.bot_tags["<TAG>"]
Boolean
Whether the bot traffic matches the specified tag, such as google or bing.
cf.bot_management.corporate_proxy
Boolean
Whether the request originates from a known corporate proxy.
ip.src.asnum
Number
The autonomous system number (ASN) of the incoming request's IP address.
Example
Cache Rules expressions support combining these fields with other criteria. The following example sets a shorter cache TTL for API requests that originate from a high-risk bot or an unexpected ASN:
(http.request.uri.path contains "/api/" and cf.bot_management.score lt 30)or(http.request.uri.path contains "/api/" and not ip.src.asnum in {12345 67890})
