Why

The chia1104.dev zone was configured by hand and through the API, with no record of the intended state and no way to review a change before it lands. Railway already has .railway/; this does the same for Cloudflare.

What

.cloudflare/ is Terraform with cloudflare/cloudflare ~> 5.26 and Terraform >= 1.11.

File Manages
rulesets.tf The five zone entrypoint rulesets: custom WAF, managed WAF, rate limiting, single redirects and cache rules (13 rules). Each rule keeps its original id as ref, so edits do not recreate it.
dns.tf All 25 DNS records, for_each over one map
zone-settings.tf Only the settings that differ from Cloudflare's defaults: SSL strict, security level high, Rocket Loader off, hotlink protection, IPv6, Onion Routing off, HSTS, Image Transformations and their allowed origins
main.tf Provider, the R2 backend (chia1104-terraform-state, private, with use_lockfile) and the sensitive cf_bypass_token variable
  • The bypass token in the "CF Bypass" and "CF Bypass Token" expressions comes from TF_VAR_cf_bypass_token and is not in the source. A plan shows only those two expressions as (sensitive value).
  • Credentials (CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, the R2 AWS_* keys, TF_VAR_cf_bypass_token) are listed in .env.global.example. .gitignore now covers .terraform, state files and *.tfvars.
  • Root AGENTS.md records that Railway and the Cloudflare zone are changed in .railway/ and .cloudflare/, not in a dashboard. apps/AGENTS.md points the cache rule and the image allowlist at their files.
  • Not managed: Bot Fight Mode, Web Analytics, Email Routing, and settings at their defaults.

Already applied

Applied on 2026-10-01 from this branch, using a saved plan whose summary was checked before it ran:

Apply complete! Resources: 39 imported, 0 added, 2 changed, 0 destroyed.
  • The two changes were the firewall rulesets. Terraform reported "The value is unchanged" for each: the bypass expression became sensitive. A redacted JSON diff of before and after was empty.
  • The import blocks have been removed. A follow-up terraform plan reports No changes, and state holds 39 resources.
  • Production checks after apply:
    • a scanner-blocked path returns 403 without the bypass header and reaches the origin with it
    • health returns 200
    • www→apex and the zh-TW prefix strip return 301

Validation

  • terraform fmt -check and terraform validate pass.
  • The lock file has provider hashes for darwin_arm64, linux_amd64 and linux_arm64.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Cloudflare-managed DNS records, security settings, traffic rules, redirects, and caching for the site and its services.
    • Added infrastructure configuration for securely managing Cloudflare settings and Terraform state.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup guidance for managing Cloudflare configuration and credentials.
  • Chores
    • Updated environment-variable examples and ignored Terraform-generated files.

The zone was configured by hand and through the API. .cloudflare/ now
holds it as Terraform (cloudflare/cloudflare ~> 5.26) with state in the
private R2 bucket chia1104-terraform-state:

- the five zone entrypoint rulesets (custom and managed WAF, rate
  limiting, single redirects, cache rules), keeping each rule's id as
  its ref
- all 25 DNS records
- the zone settings that differ from Cloudflare's defaults

The bypass token in the two WAF skip rules comes from the sensitive
variable cf_bypass_token instead of the source.

Already applied: 39 resources imported, and the two firewall rulesets
rewritten with unchanged values; a follow-up plan reports no changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Terraform configuration for Cloudflare zone management. It defines DNS records, zone settings, firewall and rate-limit rules, redirects, and cache rules. It also adds provider and state configuration, environment examples, ignore rules, and repository guidance.

Changes

Cloudflare zone management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terraform provider and state setup
.cloudflare/main.tf, .cloudflare/.terraform.lock.hcl, .cloudflare/README.md, .env.global.example, .gitignore, AGENTS.md
Configures the Cloudflare provider, R2 state backend, zone ID, and sensitive bypass-token input. Adds credentials examples, Terraform ignore rules, provider lock data, and configuration guidance.
Zone DNS records
.cloudflare/dns.tf
Defines DNS records in a local map and creates one Cloudflare DNS resource for each entry.
Zone settings and security header
.cloudflare/zone-settings.tf, apps/AGENTS.md
Defines non-default zone settings, allowed transformation origins, and the security header. Points the www image-host guidance to the zone-settings configuration.
Firewall and rate-limit rules
.cloudflare/rulesets.tf
Adds custom firewall rules, a managed-firewall bypass-token rule, and a rate limit for service authentication requests.
Redirect and cache rules
.cloudflare/rulesets.tf, apps/AGENTS.md
Adds redirects and cache rules for Open Graph images and service RPC GET requests. Points the service cache guidance to the rulesets configuration.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78c9a

Require verified unfurler identity and reject empty bypass tokens before merging. Otherwise clients can evade custom challenges, and a blank token configuration allows unauthenticated WAF exemptions.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 78c9a

This change makes Terraform and its remote state responsible for zone-wide security controls. A spoofable bot exemption remains, and the bypass-token configuration does not enforce a nonempty secret. Independent controls limit the demonstrated bot bypass, but deployment values, rotation safeguards, and unchanged live exposure have not been established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new Terraform input does not enforce the nonempty-secret invariant for a zone-wide privileged bypass. An empty configured value would produce empty-string comparisons in both skip rules, potentially making the bypass attacker-selectable. Effective production matching and exposure remain deferred, not verified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The unfurler exemption affects eligible requests across zone hosts that reach the custom ruleset. Possession of the configured bypass token has broader authority: its rule skips custom enforcement, rate limiting, managed firewall and other listed products without a host restriction. Because Terraform tracks token-bearing expressions, remote state should be treated as potentially carrying that bypass authority; actual state contents and access controls were not inspected.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The retained finding establishes an externally reachable path in which a spoofed unfurler User-Agent passes the preceding scanner rule and skips both later custom challenges. The exemption trusts request text rather than verified bot identity. Its runtime introduction or worsening by this migration is not established.
  • inferred — The empty-token candidate remains unresolved. Source shows an unvalidated Terraform string and an optional auth-client token with an empty fallback, but does not prove an empty deployed Terraform value or the effective Cloudflare match. The missing verifier receipt prevents treating this conditional path as a verified production bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The unfurler skip applies only to the current custom ruleset: the earlier scanner block and separately configured managed-firewall and rate-limit phases are not explicitly skipped by it. Selected auth POST paths also invoke a captcha guard. These controls limit the demonstrated bypass, but do not authenticate the unfurler User-Agent or establish protection for every application endpoint.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The state lock does not coordinate dashboard writers or application-secret deployment. Interrupted token rotation could leave different token values across edge resources and application clients until reconciliation; safe revocation ordering and recovery are unverified. Documentation specifies a private, bucket-scoped R2 store, but no inspected deployment policy establishes its actual privacy or credential scope.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Replace unauthenticated User-Agent exemptions with verified bot classification where available, or narrowly scoped authenticated exceptions. Preserve independent managed-firewall and rate-limit enforcement wherever the integration permits.
  • proposed — Reject empty Terraform bypass tokens, constrain or safely encode expression-sensitive characters, and enforce compatible application configuration. Obtain redacted deployment verification of token equality and empty-header behavior without exposing the secret.
  • proposed — Verify least-privilege access to the secret-bearing state store and document coordinated token rotation, compromised-token revocation, partial-apply recovery, and reconciliation of emergency dashboard changes.

Cloudflare firewall rules filter language header comparison empty string semantics

💡 Result:

**Short answer:** an empty-string comparison is not a reliable way to mean “header is missing.”

Cloudflare exposes request headers as a **map from header name to an array of values**. A present header with an empty value is distinct from an absent header; an absent map key is a *missing value*. ([github.com](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/blob/production/src/content/docs/ruleset-engine/rules-language/values.mdx))

For example:

```text
# Any value for this header is exactly empty
any(http.request.headers["x-example"][*] == "")

# Header exists (even if its value is empty)
len(http.request.headers["x-example"]) >= 0

# Header is absent
not len(http.request.headers["x-example"]) >= 0
```

The last two follow Cloudflare’s documented missing-map-key examples; the first uses its documented header-array comparison pattern. **Inference:** the empty-string test matches an actual empty value, not absence. ([github.com](https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/blob/production/src/content/docs/ruleset-engine/rules-language/values.mdx))

Header values preserve whitespace, so a value containing spaces is not the empty string. Comparisons are case-sensitive. ([developers.cloudflare.com](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rules-language/fields/reference/http.request.headers.values/))

Add a non-empty validation constraint to cf_bypass_token variable.

The cf_bypass_token variable accepts an empty string with no validation. When following .env.global.example with TF_VAR_cf_bypass_token= (blank), both WAF bypass rules expand to any(http.request.headers["x-cf-bypass-token"][*] eq ""). This filter expression matches requests that include the x-cf-bypass-token header with an empty value. An attacker can send x-cf-bypass-token: (with empty value) to bypass WAF protections, directly contradicting the documented purpose of a secret token exemption.

  description = "Value of the `x-cf-bypass-token` header that skips the WAF; the `CF_BYPASS_TOKEN` www sends."

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-807

Verify unfurler identity before skipping the challenge rules.

An unauthenticated client can send User-Agent: Discordbot with an HTTP/1.1 GET / request to chia1104.dev. This request passes the preceding scanner rule and matches this expression without cf_bypass_token. The ruleset = "current" action then skips both the datacenter-ASN and non-browser challenges. A client-controlled header therefore disables these two controls. (developers.cloudflare.com)

Require verified bot identity, such as cf.client.bot, or validated provider source addresses before granting this exemption. The first rule already exempts verified bots. (developers.cloudflare.com)
