    Cloudflare identifies database permission error behind outage

    Technical Analysis Update

    Cloudflare said a permissions change in one database system caused duplicate entries in a feature file used by its Bot Management system, and the oversized file was propagated across its network, triggering software failures and 5xx errors on Cloudflare-powered services including X, Uber, Canva, and ChatGPT. The issue initially resembled a DDoS attack, but Cloudflare stopped generation and propagation of the bad feature file, inserted a known good file, and restarted its core proxy.
