This hotfix addresses a Windows authentication issue in the embedded WebView2 browser. Single sign-on could fail to use the Windows primary account, causing users to be prompted for an interactive sign-in. The embedded authentication browser now allows SSO providers to use the OS primary account when available.
Workflows pricing now includes per-step billing. Requests and CPU time billing have been enabled since the initial public beta and is not changing.
Workflows adds step billing
A step is each unit of work executed by a Workflow, including step operations such as sleeping or waiting for events.
You can query Workflows analytics, including stepCount for a Workflow instance, with the GraphQL Analytics API.
Steps and storage billing to take effect August 10th, 2026
Starting no earlier than August 10th, 2026, Cloudflare will begin billing for step and storage usage on Workers Paid plans.
Storage pricing has been published since Workflows became generally available and is not changing. Storage is measured as persisted Workflow state in GB-months.
Dimension
Workers Free
Workers Paid
Steps
3,000 included per day
500,000 included per month, then $0.80 per additional 100,000 steps
Storage
1 GB-month included
1 GB-month included, then $0.20 per additional GB-month
Developers on the Workers Free plan will not be charged for steps or storage beyond the included amounts.
Cloudflare will not bill step and storage usage before August 10, 2026.
You can review Workflows usage in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎ before this change takes effect. To reduce costs, consider reducing the number of steps per Workflow or improving the memory efficiency of your stored state.
You can now configure file transfer controls for browser-based RDP with Cloudflare Access, allowing you to restrict whether users can upload or download files between their local machine and the remote Windows server.
This feature is useful for organizations that support bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies or third-party contractors using unmanaged devices. By restricting file transfers, you can prevent sensitive data from being moved out of the remote session to a user's personal device.
Configuration options
File transfer controls are configured per policy within your Access application, alongside existing text clipboard controls. For each policy, you can select one of the following options:
Client to remote RDP session allowed — Users can upload files from their local machine into the browser-based RDP session.
Remote RDP session to client allowed — Users can download files from the browser-based RDP session to their local machine.
Both directions allowed — Users can upload and download files between their local machine and the browser-based RDP session.
Disable copying/pasting — Users are not allowed to transfer files between their local machine and the browser-based RDP session.
By default, file transfer is denied for new policies. For existing Access applications created before this feature was available, file transfer remains denied.
How it works
To upload, drag files into the browser window or select the settings gear icon on the left side of the RDP session. To download, copy a file in the remote session and select the settings gear to download it, download multiple files as a zip, or print PDFs to a local printer.
R2 Data Catalog is a managed Apache Iceberg ↗︎ catalog built directly into your R2 bucket. Iceberg tracks your data through a tree of metadata files, so every insert, update, and delete must go through a catalog transaction. Manually adding, modifying, or deleting objects outside the catalog can leave pointers referencing files that no longer exist, corrupting the table into an inconsistent state that is difficult to recover from.
To help prevent this, the R2 dashboard and Wrangler now warn you when you attempt a manual delete operation on a Data Catalog-enabled bucket.
Dashboard
When you try to delete objects from a bucket that has R2 Data Catalog enabled, the dashboard displays a warning explaining that the operation could leave the catalog in an invalid state, with a link to the documentation for deleting data correctly. You can cancel the operation or choose to proceed anyway.
Wrangler
Wrangler now checks whether a bucket is Data Catalog-enabled before running a delete and warns you before continuing:
Data Catalog is enabled for this bucket. Proceeding may leave the data catalog in an invalid state. Continue?
Previously, only source IP proxy endpoints supported Browser Isolation, and only with non-identity policies. Because authorization proxy endpoints authenticate users through an identity provider, you can now apply identity-based Isolate policies to PAC file-proxied traffic without requiring the Cloudflare One Client.
Browser Run now supports a standalone /accessibilityTree endpoint, giving agent and automation workflows direct access to the browser's accessibility tree for a rendered webpage.
An accessibility tree is the browser's structured view of a rendered page: roles, names, states, values, and hierarchy. It is useful for accessibility tooling, but also for AI agents and automation workflows that need page structure without the noise of raw HTML or the cost of screenshots.
For AI agents, this means less inference from pixels and less parsing HTML. You can provide the page structure directly, helping agents identify available elements and determine which actions they can take.
With the new /accessibilityTree endpoint, you can request the accessibility tree directly when you only need the semantic structure of a page. If you need multiple page formats in a single API call, you can use the /snapshot endpoint, which also returns Markdown, HTML, and screenshots.
Enterprise customers can now push per-connection WebSocket analytics to any Logpush destination using the new websocket_analytics dataset. Each log record is emitted when a WebSocket connection closes and includes fields that were previously only available to Cloudflare engineers via internal tooling.
Key fields include:
ConnectionCloseReason — why the connection ended: peerReset, peerNoError, timedOut, upstreamReset, protocolViolation, unspecifiedError, or none.
ConnectionCloseSource — which side initiated the close: upstream, downstream, me, or both.
ConnectionTransportCloseCode — the TLS alert code or TCP-level close code for additional precision.
RayID — correlate WebSocket connection events with your existing HTTP Request logs.
The dataset also includes directional byte counts (BytesSentClient, BytesReceivedClient, BytesSentOrigin, BytesReceivedOrigin), connection timestamps, client IP, colo code, and request metadata from the original WebSocket upgrade.
This data lets you build alerts on connection close patterns — for example, detecting spikes in TCP resets (ConnectionCloseReason == "peerReset") grouped by host and data center — directly in your existing log analysis tools.
Workers Observability now attaches warning attributes to spans for non-fatal telemetry issues. These attributes help you identify instrumentation issues.
When a warning is present, both attributes are set together:
cloudflare.warning.type — An identifier indicating the type of warning condition.
cloudflare.warning.message — A free-form, human-readable explanation of the warning condition.
For example, recording an entire webhook payload as a span attribute can exceed the span data limit:
The Worker still returns 202 Accepted, but tracing drops the oversized attribute. The span includes cloudflare.warning.type set to span_data_limit_exceeded and a cloudflare.warning.message identifying the rejected attribute and its size.
You can now register a Cloudflare One Virtual Appliance and generate its license key directly from the dashboard, without contacting your account team.
On the Connectors page, select Add an appliance and choose Virtual appliance to register a virtual appliance and generate its authentication key.
Use Regenerate authentication key from a virtual appliance connector's menu to rotate its key. The previous key is immediately and irrevocably revoked.
The authentication key is shown only once — copy and store it securely.
This complements the existing API and Terraform self-serve workflow for provisioning virtual appliances. Hardware appliances continue to use the existing account-team fulfillment workflow.
A new declarative exports field in your Wrangler configuration file replaces the imperative migrations array for managing Durable Object class lifecycle. Instead of writing an ordered list of migration steps with unique tags, you declare each Durable Object class your Worker exports and Cloudflare compares that against what's already deployed to determine what Durable Object state needs to be created, renamed, or deleted.
With legacy migrations, renaming ChatRoom to Room requires retaining both tagged steps:
Each entry is keyed by class name. The state field carries the lifecycle (created by default — a live class — plus tombstone states deleted, renamed, and transferred, and the expecting-transfer receiving state for cross-Worker transfers).
Key improvements over the legacy migrations array:
No migration tags. The current exports map is the source of truth — there is no historical chain of v1, v2, v3 entries to maintain.
Structured deployment output. Wrangler reports when it creates, updates, deletes, renames, or transfers Durable Object classes. It also identifies stale configuration entries that are safe to remove. Deployments with no changes or notices do not print this output.
Zero-downtime rename and transfer patterns are first-class. Tombstones may coexist with the source class still in code, enabling a three-deploy rename and a four-deploy cross-Worker transfer without runtime errors during the rollout window.
Cross-Worker safety. When you delete or rename a class, Cloudflare lists every other Worker in your account whose bindings still reference the namespace, so you can redeploy them before the change goes live.
Existing Workers using the legacy migrations array continue to work unchanged. To move to exports, refer to the migration guide. exports and migrations are mutually exclusive within a single Worker.
We have released version 5 of @cloudflare/workers-types ↗︎. This release simplifies the package to expose only the latest runtime types.
We still recommend that you generate types for your Worker using wrangler types, but if you want to use the package directly, you can install it with your package manager of choice:
npm i -D @cloudflare/workers-types@latest
yarn add -D @cloudflare/workers-types@latest
pnpm add -D @cloudflare/workers-types@latest
bun add -d @cloudflare/workers-types@latest
The package now exposes two entrypoints:
@cloudflare/workers-types reflects the latest compatibility date, using the latest stable compatibility flags.
The dated entrypoints, such as @cloudflare/workers-types/2022-11-30 and @cloudflare/workers-types/2023-03-01, are removed. With runtime type generation in Wrangler v4, you can generate these with the wrangler types command to create types locked to your Worker's compatibility date.
When you connect a data source to your AI Search instance, AI Search runs sync jobs to keep your index up to date with your content. You can now manage those jobs directly from Wrangler.
For example, you can trigger a sync job from your CI/CD or automated pipelines with the jobs create command so your index refreshes when you push a change:
wrangler ai-search jobs create my-instance
This creates an asynchronous sync job that checks for changes in your data source, and sends new, modified, or deleted files to be indexed.
The following commands are available:
Command
Description
wrangler ai-search jobs create
Trigger a new sync job
wrangler ai-search jobs list
List sync jobs for an instance
wrangler ai-search jobs get
Get details for a job
wrangler ai-search jobs cancel
Cancel a running job
wrangler ai-search jobs logs
View log entries for a job
All commands accept --namespace/-n (defaults to default) and --json for structured output that automation and AI agents can parse directly. The list and logs commands also support --page and --per-page for pagination, and cancel prompts for confirmation unless you pass -y/--force.
Your origin can serve different responses for the same URL — different languages based on Accept-Language, or different formats based on Accept — by returning a Vary ↗︎ response header. Cloudflare's cache now honors that header directly in Cache Rules, so the same URL can hold multiple cached versions and each request is matched to the right one. Content that previously had to bypass cache to stay correct can now be cached, following standard HTTP caching behavior ↗︎.
What changed
Your origin now decides which request headers matter by listing them in its Vary response, and you control how Cloudflare treats each one. When you have enabled Vary using a cache rule and a response includes a Vary header, the request headers listed become part of the cache key.
For each header your origin varies on, choose one of three actions:
Action
Behavior
Best for
normalize
Converts equivalent header values to the same cache key value before matching, collapsing redundant versions.
Most Accept, Accept-Language, and Accept-Encoding use cases.
passthrough
Uses the raw header value to select the cached version and forwards it to the origin unchanged.
When byte-for-byte differences in the header value should create versions.
bypass
Bypasses cache whenever this header name appears in the origin's Vary response.
Per-user values, or headers with too many possible values to cache safely.
Benefits
Higher cache hit ratios: normalize treats semantically equivalent headers as one version. For example, Accept-Language: en-US, fr;q=0.8 and Accept-Language: fr;q=0.8, en-GB both resolve to the same cache key, so you serve more requests from cache instead of the origin.
Correct content negotiation: Requests always receive the cached version that matches their headers, so language and format variants stay accurate.
No origin or Worker changes required: If your origin already sends Vary, you configure the behavior entirely in Cache Rules.
Standards-aligned: Cache key calculation follows RFC 9111, and Vary: * continues to bypass cache as required by RFC 9110.
Availability
Vary in Cache Rules is available on all plans (Free, Pro, Business, and Enterprise). For per-request control in Workers subrequests, use the cf.vary property.
Instead of managing IP ranges, you can attract traffic for a hostname to a Mesh node:
Private hostname (for example, wiki.internal.local) — reach an internal application by name, which is useful when it has an unknown or ephemeral IP. On Mesh you do not need to run a DNS server; a local hosts-file entry on the node is enough, or you can use a Gateway resolver policy for split DNS.
Public hostname (for example, www.example.com) — route that hostname's traffic through the node and egress via the node's public IP.
Wrangler CLI now supports auth profiles: named logins that you scope to specific Cloudflare accounts and switch between automatically, based on the directory you are working in.
A profile is a named OAuth login bound to a directory. Commands run in that directory, and its subdirectories, use the matching account — so you can move between accounts without re-running wrangler login.
Use profiles to keep a separate login for each client when working at an agency, or to separate staging and production into different accounts. Pair a profile with an account_id in your Wrangler configuration file so a command cannot reach the wrong account.
# Create a profile for each account, choosing which accounts it can reachwrangler auth create client-awrangler auth activate client-a ~/clients/client-awrangler auth create client-bwrangler auth activate client-b ~/clients/client-b
Use the --profile flag to run a single command with a specific profile:
wrangler deploy --profile personal
In CI and other automated environments, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN still takes precedence over all profiles.
For setup, the resolution order, and the full command reference, refer to Authentication profiles.
This package is the same release as 2026.6.822.0, with a fix for our RPM package. Previously the repository served a single build to every OS version, so an install could pull a dependency that isn't available on that release. The repository now serves the correct build for each operating system version, so installs automatically pull the dependencies that version requires. Debian and Ubuntu were not affected.
If you installed version 2026.6.822.0 on an RPM-based distribution, we recommend refreshing your repository configuration:
sudo curl -fsSL https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/cloudflare-warp-ascii.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudflare-warp.repo
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf install cloudflare-warp
Access now correctly preserves URL fragment characters (/, ?, =, &, ;) when redirecting users back to an application after login. Previously, these characters were encoded with encodeURIComponent, which mangled fragment-based routes used by single-page applications (SPAs).
For example, an SPA URL like https://app.example.com/#/dashboard?tab=settings&view=advanced would previously redirect to a broken URL after login. This is now handled correctly.
If your SPA users were experiencing broken navigation after authenticating through Access, this fix resolves the issue without any configuration changes.
Access for Infrastructure now supports independent multi-factor authentication (MFA) for SSH connections using YubiKey PIV keys. This adds a hardware-backed second factor to SSH access, ensuring that a compromised device session alone is not sufficient to reach your servers.
With per-application and per-policy configuration, you can enforce PIV key authentication for sensitive usernames (for example, root) while applying different requirements for other usernames. You can also set an MFA session duration to control how often users must re-authenticate.
Not all AI traffic is the same. Now, all customers — including those on the Free plan — can manage AI crawlers based on what they actually do on your site. Cloudflare groups AI traffic into three behaviors you can control independently: Search, Agent, and Training. This lets you keep the automated traffic that sends readers and revenue back to you, while blocking the traffic that only takes from your content.
Each behavior maps to a real use case. Search covers crawlers that index your content so they can answer questions about it later, where you should expect referral traffic or other equitable compensation in return. Agent covers automated activity acting in real time on a person's behalf, such as chat fetch bots and browser-use agents. Training covers crawlers that take your content to train or fine-tune a model. For each preset you can choose to block on all pages, block only on pages that display ads, or choose not to block.
Starting September 15, 2026, new domains onboarding to Cloudflare receive updated defaults: Bots classified as Training or as Agent are blocked on pages that display ads, while Search remains allowed. On that date, multi-purpose crawlers that combine Search and Training will be affected by the new defaults to block Training. All customers can opt out of the new defaults ↗︎ at any time before September 15.
With Content Independence Day 2026, Enterprise Bot Management customers get two new tools that make bot traffic far easier to see and reason about: BotBase, a searchable directory of every bot Cloudflare tracks, and Business Insights, a dashboard that shows how much value each crawler sends back to your business.
BotBase is Cloudflare's directory of all known bots and agents, available directly in the dashboard. It shows how Cloudflare classifies each bot by behavior — Search, Agent, Training, and other categories such as Transact, Data Collection, SEO, and Ads Verification — so you can understand why a given crawler is visiting you. You can search and filter the full catalogue, filter your own traffic down to a single bot to investigate its activity on your zone, and copy any bot's detection ID to target it precisely in Security rules. Every tracked bot in BotBase is also published in Cloudflare Radar's bots and agents directory ↗︎.
Business Insights is built for content owners and business decision-makers who want to know which bots help or harm their business, without reading rule syntax. The dashboard reports crawl-to-referral ratios both site-wide and per bot operator — comparing how often a company crawls your content against how many visitors it actually refers back — over the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Each operator is labeled with Cloudflare's updated classification and an action status of Allowed, Blocked, or Partially blocked, giving stakeholders a shared, at-a-glance view of the AI traffic reaching your site.
Containers now support Google Artifact Registry ↗︎ images. After you configure credentials, you can use a fully qualified Google Artifact Registry image reference in your Wrangler configuration instead of first pushing the image to Cloudflare Registry.
Provide the service account email with --gar-email and pipe the service account JSON key through stdin:
The Images binding is now billed per unique transformation, matching the model already used for URL-based transformations. Repeat requests for the same combination of source image and parameters within the same calendar month are counted only once.
Previously, every call to the binding counted as a separate transformation regardless of whether the image or parameters were unique. With this change, you can call the binding on hot paths without paying for each individual request.
We have greatly improved the throughput of the Vectorize write-ahead log (WAL) ↗︎. As a result, we have significantly reduced the end-to-end latency for a vector change to become queryable: median latency has dropped from 2 minutes to under 30 seconds, and p99 latency from 5 minutes to under 2 minutes.
This means inserts, upserts, and deletes are reflected in query results faster, improving the freshness of semantic search, recommendation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workloads. You do not need to change your code or configuration to benefit from this improvement.
This release adds targeted coverage for a path traversal flaw in Fortinet FortiSandbox (CVE-2026-39813) and transitions the Anomaly:Header:User-Agent - Fake Bing or MSN Bot rule action from Block to Disabled.
Key Findings
CVE-2026-39813: A path traversal vulnerability in Fortinet FortiSandbox allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the underlying filesystem due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input paths.
