Does Cloudflare ever Spam/Bruteforce your domains?

Just came across this in my raw logs (IP says it’s Cloudflare’s)

Does CF ever try to find vulnerabilities without letting us know first?

No, they don’t. Are you a Cloudflare customer? This just looks like someone’s crawling your site and their IP address will show up in the headers…unless you have mod_Cloudflare installed.
