WAF Release - 2026-03-30

This week's release introduces new detections for a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Fortinet products (CVE-2025-59718), alongside three new generic detection rules designed to identify and block HTTP Parameter Pollution attempts. Additionally, this release includes targeted protection for a high-impact unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Magento and Adobe Commerce.

Key Findings

• CVE-2025-59718: An improper cryptographic signature verification vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS, FortiProxy, and FortiSwitchManager. This may allow an unauthenticated attacker to bypass the FortiCloud SSO login authentication using a maliciously crafted SAML message, if that feature is enabled on the device.

• Magento 2 - Unrestricted File Upload: A critical flaw in Magento and Adobe Commerce allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass security checks and upload malicious files to the server, potentially leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE).

Impact

Successful exploitation of the Fortinet and Magento vulnerabilities could allow unauthenticated attackers to gain administrative control or deploy webshells, leading to complete server compromise and data theft.

WAF Release - 2026-03-12 - Emergency

This week's release introduces new detections for vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (CVE-2026-1281 and CVE-2026-1340), alongside a new generic detection rule designed to identify and block Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) injection attempts within the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) HTTP request header.

Key Findings

• CVE-2026-1281 & CVE-2026-1340: Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile processes HTTP requests through Apache RevwriteMap directives that pass user-controlled input to Bash scripts (/mi/bin/map-appstore-url and /mi/bin/map-aft-store-url). Bash scripts do not sanitize user input and are vulnerable to shell arithmetic expansion thereby allowing attackers to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution.
• Generic XSS in CSP Header: This rule identifies malicious payloads embedded within the request's Content-Security-Policy header. It specifically targets scenarios where web frameworks or applications trust and extract values directly from the CSP header in the incoming request without sufficient validation. Attackers can provide crafted header values to inject scripts or malicious directives that are subsequently processed by the server.

Impact

Successful exploitation of Ivanti EPMM vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution and generic XSS in CSP header allows attackers to inject malicious scripts during page rendering. In environments using server-side caching, this poisoned XSS content can subsequently be cached and automatically served to all visitors.

Increased WAF payload limit for all plans

Cloudflare WAF now inspects request-payload size of up to 1 MB across all plans to enhance our detection capabilities for React RCE (CVE-2025-55182).

Key Findings

React payloads commonly have a default maximum size of 1 MB. Cloudflare WAF previously inspected up to 128 KB on Enterprise plans, with even lower limits on other plans.

Update: We later reinstated the maximum request-payload size the Cloudflare WAF inspects. Refer to Updating the WAF maximum payload values for details.

Updating the WAF maximum payload values

We are reinstating the maximum request-payload size the Cloudflare WAF inspects, with WAF on Enterprise zones inspecting up to 128 KB.

Key Findings

On December 5, 2025, we initially attempted to increase the maximum WAF payload limit to 1 MB across all plans. However, an automatic rollout for all customers proved impractical because the increase led to a surge in false positives for existing managed rules.

This issue was particularly notable within the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset and the Cloudflare OWASP Core Ruleset, impacting customer traffic.

Impact

Customers on paid plans can increase the limit to 1 MB for any of their zones by contacting Cloudflare Support. Free zones are already protected up to 1 MB and do not require any action.
