Summary
This post details the immediate rollout of two new Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules (WP0025A and WP0025B) to protect unpatched WordPress sites (versions below 4.7.2) from a critical content injection vulnerability discovered by Sucuri. These rules were developed in collaboration with WordPress and other WAF vendors and were made available to all Cloudflare customers, including free tier users, before the vulnerability was publicly announced.
