Introducing Cache Response Rules

Cloudflare has introduced Cache Response Rules, a new feature designed to optimize content caching by running after an origin server responds but before the content is cached. These rules allow users to modify response headers, such as stripping `Set-Cookie` or adjusting `Cache-Control` directives, which were previously difficult or impossible to manage without origin server changes. This aims to improve cache hit ratios, reduce origin load, and enhance performance by addressing common caching inefficiencies.

CVE-2025-66376high

Russian Espionage Group Exploited Zimbra Zero-Day to Steal Mail and 2FA Codes

A sophisticated Russian espionage campaign, attributed to the group TA488 (also known as LAUNDRY BEAR or Void Blizzard), has been actively exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration's webmail client since at least July 2025. This flaw allowed attackers to steal sensitive data, including emails, contact lists, browser-saved passwords, and two-factor authentication codes, by simply having a user view a specially crafted HTML email. The vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-66376, was patched by Zimbra in November 2025, but the attackers continued to leverage it for months prior to the fix.

Since no real victim monitors misuse, a
