Hi,
I’m using a development website where I want all security and firewall turned off.
I’ve applied the following rules:
Page rule: https://dev.mydomain.com/ * Disabled Security, Web Application Firewall OFF, Cache-level Bypass
Configuration rule: if hostname contains dev.mydomain.com Security Level: Essentially Off.
But I’m still blocked for example when I try to upload a file:
Adobe ColdFusion - Dangerous File Upload - CVE:CVE-2019-7816
Why is that? How can I make it so that WAF is completely turned off for the dev site? It’s password protected anyway.
Thanks
Alex

Weird that the page rule wouldn’t do it, but you can add an exception in the WAF itself as well.
In the Cloudflare dashboard, inside of your website/zone, navigate to Security → WAF → Managed Rules (magic link: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/waf/managed-rules )
Then click “Add Exception”
Once you create it, make sure to drag it above the other rulesets.
You can also just bypass that single Rule:
Though you cannot bypass the whole new WAF, you can create an exception.

You can combine your IP(s) with the relevant path for plugin update:

You then select Skip specific rules from a Managed Ruleset, and pick Cloudflare Managed Ruleset. Last, you search for the rule titled “Adobe Coldfusion Dangerous File Upload…”

EDIT: After you save your WAF Exception, you need to move it up so that it triggers before the Managed Rulesets.

It worked for me, I hope…
