- Cloudflare ruleset misconfiguration allows bypassing security rules.
- Terminating actions in Cloudflare stop evaluation of subsequent rules.
- Block rules placed after challenge actions can be bypassed with cf_clearance cookie.
- Recommended order for Cloudflare security rules starts with Skip and Block actions.
- Exploitability of the issue is uncertain due to testing limitations.
- Cloudflare dashboard inaccurately represents rule execution order.
- Historical discussions on serverfault.com highlight similar confusion.
