Changelog

New updates and improvements at Cloudflare.

New granular API token permissions for Cloudflare Access

Three new API token permissions are available for Cloudflare Access, giving you finer-grained control when building automations and integrations:

  • Access: Organizations Revoke — Grants the ability to revoke user sessions in a Zero Trust organization. Use this permission when you need a token that can terminate active sessions without broader write access to organization settings.
  • Access: Population Read — Grants read access to the SCIM users and groups synced from an identity provider to Cloudflare Access. Use this permission for tokens that only need to read synced user and group data.
  • Access: Population Write — Grants write access to the SCIM users and groups synced from an identity provider to Cloudflare Access. Use this permission for tokens that need to create or modify synced user and group data.

These permissions are scoped at the account level and can be combined with existing Access permissions.

For a full list of available permissions, refer to API token permissions.

New Placement Hints for Workers

You can now configure Workers to run close to infrastructure in legacy cloud regions to minimize latency to existing services and databases. This is most useful when your Worker makes multiple round trips.

To set a placement hint, set the placement.region property in your Wrangler configuration file:

{
	"placement": {
		"region": "aws:us-east-1",
	},
}
[placement]
region = "aws:us-east-1"

Placement hints support Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure region identifiers. Workers run in the Cloudflare data center ↗︎ with the lowest latency to the specified cloud region.

If your existing infrastructure is not in these cloud providers, expose it to placement probes with placement.host for layer 4 checks or placement.hostname for layer 7 checks. These probes are designed to locate single-homed infrastructure and are not suitable for anycasted or multicasted resources.

{
	"placement": {
		"host": "my_database_host.com:5432",
	},
}
[placement]
host = "my_database_host.com:5432"
{
	"placement": {
		"hostname": "my_api_server.com",
	},
}
[placement]
hostname = "my_api_server.com"

This is an extension of Smart Placement, which automatically places your Workers closer to back-end APIs based on measured latency. When you do not know the location of your back-end APIs or have multiple back-end APIs, set mode: "smart":

{
	"placement": {
		"mode": "smart",
	},
}
[placement]
mode = "smart"

Use auxiliary Workers alongside full-stack frameworks

Auxiliary Workers are now fully supported when using full-stack frameworks, such as React Router and TanStack Start, that integrate with the Cloudflare Vite plugin. They are included alongside the framework's build output in the build output directory. Note that this feature requires Vite 7 or above.

Auxiliary Workers are additional Workers that can be called via service bindings from your main (entry) Worker. They are defined in the plugin config, as in the example below:

vite.config.tsts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { tanstackStart } from "@tanstack/react-start/plugin/vite";
import { cloudflare } from "@cloudflare/vite-plugin";

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [
		tanstackStart(),
		cloudflare({
			viteEnvironment: { name: "ssr" },
			auxiliaryWorkers: [{ configPath: "./wrangler.aux.jsonc" }],
		}),
	],
});

See the Vite plugin API docs for more info.

Network Services navigation update

The Network Services menu structure in Cloudflare's dashboard has been updated to reflect solutions and capabilities instead of product names. This will make it easier for you to find what you need and better reflects how our services work together.

Your existing configurations will remain the same, and you will have access to all of the same features and functionality.

The changes visible in your dashboard may vary based on the products you use. Overall, changes relate to Magic Transit ↗︎, Magic WAN ↗︎, and Magic Firewall ↗︎.

Summary of changes:

  • A new Overview page provides access to the most common tasks across Magic Transit and Magic WAN.
  • Product names have been removed from top-level navigation.
  • Magic Transit and Magic WAN configuration is now organized under Routes and Connectors. For example, you will find IP Prefixes under Routes, and your GRE/IPsec Tunnels under Connectors.
  • Magic Firewall policies are now called Firewall Policies.
  • Magic WAN Connectors and Connector On-Ramps are now referenced in the dashboard as Appliances and Appliance profiles. They can be found under Connectors > Appliances.
  • Network analytics, network health, and real-time analytics are now available under Insights.
  • Packet Captures are found under Insights > Diagnostics.
  • You can manage your Sites from Insights > Network health.
  • You can find Magic Network Monitoring under Insights > Network flow.

If you would like to provide feedback, complete this form ↗︎. You can also find these details in the January 7, 2026 email titled [FYI] Upcoming Network Services Dashboard Navigation Update.

Support for CrowdStrike device scores in User Risk Scoring

Cloudflare One has expanded its [User Risk Scoring] (/cloudflare-one/insights/risk-score/) capabilities by introducing two new behaviors for organizations using the [CrowdStrike integration] (/cloudflare-one/integrations/service-providers/crowdstrike/).

Administrators can now automatically escalate the risk score of a user if their device matches specific CrowdStrike Zero Trust Assessment (ZTA) score ranges. This allows for more granular security policies that respond dynamically to the health of the endpoint.

New risk behaviors The following risk scoring behaviors are now available:

  • CrowdStrike low device score: Automatically increases a user's risk score when the connected device reports a "Low" score from CrowdStrike.
  • CrowdStrike medium device score: Automatically increases a user's risk score when the connected device reports a "Medium" score from CrowdStrike.

These scores are derived from [CrowdStrike device posture attributes] (/cloudflare-one/integrations/service-providers/crowdstrike/#device-posture-attributes), including OS signals and sensor configurations.

Verify WARP Connector connectivity with a simple ping

We have made it easier to validate connectivity when deploying WARP Connector as part of your software-defined private network.

You can now ping the WARP Connector host directly on its LAN IP address immediately after installation. This provides a fast, familiar way to confirm that the Connector is online and reachable within your network before testing access to downstream services.

Starting with version 2025.10.186.0, WARP Connector responds to traffic addressed to its own LAN IP, giving you immediate visibility into Connector reachability.

WARP client for Windows (version 2025.10.186.0)

A new GA release for the Windows WARP client is now available on the stable releases downloads page.

This release contains minor fixes, improvements, and new features. New features include the ability to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices in your fleet using an external signal, and a new WARP client device posture check for Antivirus.

Changes and improvements

  • Added a new feature to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices using an external signal. This feature allows administrators to send a global signal from an on-premises HTTPS endpoint that force disconnects or reconnects all WARP clients in an account based on configuration set on the endpoint.
  • Fixed an issue that caused occasional audio degradation and increased CPU usage on Windows by optimizing route configurations for large domain-based split tunnel rules.
  • The Local Domain Fallback feature has been fixed for devices running WARP client version 2025.4.929.0 and newer. Previously, these devices could experience failures with Local Domain Fallback unless a fallback server was explicitly configured. This configuration is no longer a requirement for the feature to function correctly.
  • Proxy mode now supports transparent HTTP proxying in addition to CONNECT-based proxying.
  • Fixed an issue where sending large messages to the daemon by Inter-Process Communication (IPC) could cause the daemon to fail and result in service interruptions.
  • Added support for a new WARP client device posture check for Antivirus. The check confirms the presence of an antivirus program on a Windows device with the option to check if the antivirus is up to date.

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 KB5062553 or higher for resolution.

  • 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.

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

    • WARP 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 WARP is connected.

    To work around this issue, reconnect the WARP client by toggling off and back on.

WARP client for macOS (version 2025.10.186.0)

A new GA release for the macOS WARP client is now available on the stable releases downloads page.

This release contains minor fixes, improvements, and new features, including the ability to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices in your fleet using an external signal.

Changes and improvements

  • The Local Domain Fallback feature has been fixed for devices running WARP client version 2025.4.929.0 and newer. Previously, these devices could experience failures with Local Domain Fallback unless a fallback server was explicitly configured. This configuration is no longer a requirement for the feature to function correctly.
  • Proxy mode now supports transparent HTTP proxying in addition to CONNECT-based proxying.
  • Added a new feature to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices using an external signal. This feature allows administrators to send a global signal from an on-premises HTTPS endpoint that force disconnects or reconnects all WARP clients in an account based on configuration set on the endpoint.

WARP client for Linux (version 2025.10.186.0)

A new GA release for the Linux WARP client is now available on the stable releases downloads page.

This release contains minor fixes, improvements, and new features, including the ability to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices in your fleet using an external signal.

WARP client version 2025.8.779.0 introduced an updated public key for Linux packages. The public key must be updated if it was installed before September 12, 2025 to ensure the repository remains functional after December 4, 2025. Instructions to make this update are available at pkg.cloudflareclient.com.

Changes and improvements

  • The Local Domain Fallback feature has been fixed for devices running WARP client version 2025.4.929.0 and newer. Previously, these devices could experience failures with Local Domain Fallback unless a fallback server was explicitly configured. This configuration is no longer a requirement for the feature to function correctly.
  • Linux disk encryption posture check now supports non-filesystem encryption types like dm-crypt.
  • Proxy mode now supports transparent HTTP proxying in addition to CONNECT-based proxying.
  • Fixed an issue where the GUI becomes unresponsive when the Re-Authenticate in browser button is clicked.
  • Added a new feature to manage WARP client connectivity for all devices using an external signal. This feature allows administrators to send a global signal from an on-premises HTTPS endpoint that force disconnects or reconnects all WARP clients in an account based on configuration set on the endpoint.

`wrangler types` now generates types for all environments

The wrangler types command now generates TypeScript types for bindings from all environments defined in your Wrangler configuration file by default.

Previously, wrangler types only generated types for bindings in the top-level configuration (or a single environment when using the --env flag). This meant that if you had environment-specific bindings — for example, a KV namespace only in production or an R2 bucket only in staging — those bindings would be missing from your generated types, causing TypeScript errors when accessing them.

Now, running wrangler types collects bindings from all environments and includes them in the generated Env type. This ensures your types are complete regardless of which environment you deploy to.

Generating types for a specific environment

If you want the previous behavior of generating types for only a specific environment, you can use the --env flag:

wrangler types --env production

Learn more about generating types for your Worker in the Wrangler documentation.

Enhanced visibility for post-delivery actions

The Action Log now provides enriched data for post-delivery actions to improve troubleshooting. In addition to success confirmations, failed actions now display the targeted Destination folder and a specific failure reason within the Activity field.

failure-log-example

This update allows you to see the full lifecycle of a failed action. For instance, if an administrator tries to move an email that has already been deleted or moved manually, the log will now show the multiple retry attempts and the specific destination error.

This applies to all Email Security packages:

  • Enterprise
  • Enterprise + PhishGuard

Validate your generated types with `wrangler types --check`

Wrangler now supports a --check flag for the wrangler types command. This flag validates that your generated types are up to date without writing any changes to disk.

This is useful in CI/CD pipelines where you want to ensure that developers have regenerated their types after making changes to their Wrangler configuration. If the types are out of date, the command will exit with a non-zero status code.

npx wrangler types --check

If your types are up to date, the command will succeed silently. If they are out of date, you'll see an error message indicating which files need to be regenerated.

For more information, see the Wrangler types documentation.

Get notified when your Workers builds succeed or fail

You can now receive notifications when your Workers' builds start, succeed, fail, or get cancelled using Event Subscriptions.

Workers Builds publishes events to a Queue that your Worker can read messages from, and then send notifications wherever you need — Slack, Discord, email, or any webhook endpoint.

You can deploy this Worker ↗︎ to your own Cloudflare account to send build notifications to Slack:

Deploy to Cloudflare

The template includes:

  • Build status with Preview/Live URLs for successful deployments
  • Inline error messages for failed builds
  • Branch, commit hash, and author name
Slack notifications showing build events

For setup instructions, refer to the template README ↗︎ or the Event Subscriptions documentation.

Shell tab completions for Wrangler CLI

Wrangler now includes built-in shell tab completion support, making it faster and easier to navigate commands without memorizing every option. Press Tab as you type to autocomplete commands, subcommands, flags, and even option values like log levels.

Tab completions are supported for Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell.

Setup

Generate the completion script for your shell and add it to your configuration file:

# Bash
wrangler complete bash >> ~/.bashrc

# Zsh
wrangler complete zsh >> ~/.zshrc

# Fish
wrangler complete fish >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish

# PowerShell
wrangler complete powershell >> $PROFILE

After adding the script, restart your terminal or source your configuration file for the changes to take effect. Then you can simply press Tab to see available completions:

wrangler d<TAB>          # completes to 'deploy', 'dev', 'd1', etc.
wrangler kv <TAB>        # shows subcommands: namespace, key, bulk

Tab completions are dynamically generated from Wrangler's command registry, so they stay up-to-date as new commands and options are added. This feature is powered by @bomb.sh/tab ↗︎.

See the wrangler complete documentation for more details.

Workers Analytics Engine SQL now supports filtering using HAVING and LIKE

You can now use the HAVING clause and LIKE pattern matching operators in Workers Analytics Engine ↗︎.

Workers Analytics Engine allows you to ingest and store high-cardinality data at scale and query your data through a simple SQL API.

Filtering using HAVING

The HAVING clause complements the WHERE clause by enabling you to filter groups based on aggregate values. While WHERE filters rows before aggregation, HAVING filters groups after aggregation is complete.

You can use HAVING to filter groups where the average exceeds a threshold:

SELECT
    blob1 AS probe_name,
    avg(double1) AS average_temp
FROM temperature_readings
GROUP BY probe_name
HAVING average_temp > 10

You can also filter groups based on aggregates such as the number of items in the group:

SELECT
    blob1 AS probe_name,
    count() AS num_readings
FROM temperature_readings
GROUP BY probe_name
HAVING num_readings > 100

Pattern matching using LIKE

The new pattern matching operators enable you to search for strings that match specific patterns using wildcard characters:

  • LIKE - case-sensitive pattern matching
  • NOT LIKE - case-sensitive pattern exclusion
  • ILIKE - case-insensitive pattern matching
  • NOT ILIKE - case-insensitive pattern exclusion

Pattern matching supports two wildcard characters: % (matches zero or more characters) and _ (matches exactly one character).

You can match strings starting with a prefix:

SELECT *
FROM logs
WHERE blob1 LIKE 'error%'

You can also match file extensions (case-insensitive):

SELECT *
FROM requests
WHERE blob2 ILIKE '%.jpg'

Another example is excluding strings containing specific text:

SELECT *
FROM events
WHERE blob3 NOT ILIKE '%debug%'

Ready to get started?

Learn more about the HAVING clause or pattern matching operators in the Workers Analytics Engine SQL reference documentation.

Build microfrontend applications on Workers

You can now deploy microfrontends to Cloudflare, splitting a single application into smaller, independently deployable units that render as one cohesive application. This lets different teams using different frameworks develop, test, and deploy each microfrontend without coordinating releases.

Microfrontends solve several challenges for large-scale applications:

  • Independent deployments: Teams deploy updates on their own schedule without redeploying the entire application
  • Framework flexibility: Build multi-framework applications (for example, Astro, Remix, and Next.js in one app)
  • Gradual migration: Migrate from a monolith to a distributed architecture incrementally

Create a microfrontend project:

Deploy to Cloudflare

This template automatically creates a router worker with pre-configured routing logic, and lets you configure Service bindings to Workers you have already deployed to your Cloudflare account. The router Worker analyzes incoming requests, matches them against configured routes, and forwards requests to the appropriate microfrontend via service bindings. The router automatically rewrites HTML, CSS, and headers to ensure assets load correctly from each microfrontend's mount path. The router includes advanced features like preloading for faster navigation between microfrontends, smooth page transitions using the View Transitions API, and automatic path rewriting for assets, redirects, and cookies.

Each microfrontend can be a full-framework application, a static site with Workers Static Assets, or any other Worker-based application.

Get started with the microfrontends template ↗︎, or read the microfrontends documentation for implementation details.

Breakout traffic visibility via NetFlow

Magic WAN Connector now exports NetFlow data for breakout traffic to Magic Network Monitoring (MNM), providing visibility into traffic that bypasses Cloudflare's security filtering.

This feature allows you to:

  • Monitor breakout traffic statistics in the Cloudflare dashboard.
  • View traffic patterns for applications configured to bypass Cloudflare.
  • Maintain visibility across all traffic passing through your Magic WAN Connector.

For more information, refer to NetFlow statistics.

Static prerendering support for TanStack Start

TanStack Start ↗︎ apps can now prerender routes to static HTML at build time with access to build time environment variables and bindings, and serve them as static assets. To enable prerendering, configure the prerender option of the TanStack Start plugin in your Vite config:

vite.config.tsts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import { cloudflare } from "@cloudflare/vite-plugin";
import { tanstackStart } from "@tanstack/react-start/plugin/vite";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    cloudflare({ viteEnvironment: { name: "ssr" } }),
    tanstackStart({
      prerender: {
        enabled: true,
      },
    }),
  ],
});

This feature requires @tanstack/react-start v1.138.0 or later. See the TanStack Start framework guide for more details.

Build image policies for Workers Builds and Cloudflare Pages

We've published build image policies for Workers Builds and Cloudflare Pages, which establish:

  • Minor version updates: We typically update preinstalled software to the latest available minor version without notice. For tools that don't follow semantic versioning (e.g., Bun or Hugo), we provide 3 months’ notice.
  • Major version updates: Before preinstalled software reaches end-of-life, we update to the next stable LTS version with 3 months’ notice.
  • Build image version deprecation (Pages only): We provide 6 months’ notice before deprecation. Projects on v1 or v2 will be automatically moved to v3 on their specified deprecation dates.

To prepare for updates, monitor the Cloudflare Changelog ↗︎, dashboard notifications, and email. You can also override default versions to maintain specific versions.

Retrieve your authentication token with `wrangler auth token`

Wrangler now includes a new wrangler auth token command that retrieves your current authentication token or credentials for use with other tools and scripts.

wrangler auth token

The command returns whichever authentication method is currently configured, in priority order: API token from CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, or OAuth token from wrangler login (automatically refreshed if expired).

Use the --json flag to get structured output including the token type:

wrangler auth token --json

The JSON output includes the authentication type:

// API token
{ "type": "api_token", "token": "..." }

// OAuth token
{ "type": "oauth", "token": "..." }

// API key/email (only available with --json)
{ "type": "api_key", "key": "...", "email": "..." }

API key/email credentials from CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY and CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL require the --json flag since this method uses two values instead of a single token.

Shadow IT - domain level SaaS analytics

Zero Trust has again upgraded its Shadow IT analytics, providing you with unprecedented visibility into your organizations use of SaaS tools. With this dashboard, you can review who is using an application and volumes of data transfer to the application.

With this update, you can review data transfer metrics at the domain level, rather than just the application level, providing more granular insight into your data transfer patterns.

New Domain Level Metrics

These metrics can be filtered by all available filters on the dashboard, including user, application, or content category.

Both the analytics and policies are accessible in the Cloudflare Zero Trust dashboard ↗︎, empowering organizations with better visibility and control.

New duplicate action for supported Cloudflare One resources

You can now duplicate specific Cloudflare One resources with a single click from the dashboard.

Initially supported resources:

  • Access Applications
  • Access Policies
  • Gateway Policies

To try this out, simply click on the overflow menu (⋮) from the resource table and click Duplicate. We will continue to add the Duplicate action for resources throughout 2026.

Support for ctx.exports in @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers

The @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers package now supports the ctx.exports API, allowing you to access your Worker's top-level exports during tests.

You can access ctx.exports in unit tests by calling createExecutionContext():

import { createExecutionContext } from "cloudflare:test";
import { it, expect } from "vitest";

it("can access ctx.exports", async () => {
  const ctx = createExecutionContext();
  const result = await ctx.exports.MyEntryPoint.myMethod();
  expect(result).toBe("expected value");
});

Alternatively, you can import exports directly from cloudflare:workers:

import { exports } from "cloudflare:workers";
import { it, expect } from "vitest";

it("can access imported exports", async () => {
  const result = await exports.MyEntryPoint.myMethod();
  expect(result).toBe("expected value");
});

See the context-exports fixture ↗︎ for a complete example.
