Cloudflare WAF metadata changes for WordPress XSS

Cloudflare WAF WordPress XSS detection now has a cleaner CVE label, but the behaviour has not changed; the rule still blocks the same traffic, just with less guesswork when I am reading logs. The deprecated command injection obfuscation entry is a different story, because that coverage has simply been retired.

Cloudflare Turnstile needs backend siteverify checks

Cloudflare Turnstile siteverify is the bit that matters, not the widget on the page. I have seen too many setups that look protected until you replay the same token and watch the backend wave it through; that is not security, just decoration.

Cloudflare WAF scheduled release: log-only SQLi change

Cloudflare WAF scheduled release is one of those updates I trust less when it sounds tidy. Log-only first is sensible, because a fresh SQLi signature can look convincing right up until it starts flagging perfectly ordinary traffic.

Log to Block for vBulletin exploit traffic

Cloudflare’s shift from log-only to blocking for vBulletin exploit traffic is the sort of change I prefer, boring and effective. Cloudflare WAF vBulletin RCE detection now does something useful by default, which is more than I can say for a lot of security alerts.

TLS decryption for Cloudflare Gateway package registry

Cloudflare Gateway package registry security only becomes useful once TLS is decrypted, because the package name, version, and namespace live inside the request, not on the outside. I prefer to test with one narrow allow rule and one block rule, then see whether Gateway can actually read what I think it can.

Gmail access through stolen Google Workspace OAuth tokens

A stolen Google Workspace OAuth tokens grant can outlive a password reset and keep reading mail quietly, which is the bit I dislike most. If it reaches Drive or a connected app, the damage is rarely tidy, and the trust it borrows is usually wider than it should be.

macOS remote access abuse via VNC credential bypass

macOS Screen Sharing looks harmless until TCP 5900 is left open, then the macOS Screen Sharing authentication bypass turns a convenience into an entry point. I would not keep that service facing the internet, not unless you enjoy finding a miner where your desktop ought to be.
