AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Cloudflare's web application firewall can now correlate an HTTP request with its response. Full transaction detection helps every customer find successful exploits, data exposure, and risky misconfigurations that request-only inspection can miss.
Why it matters
Security teams and site operators that use Cloudflare's WAF may be able to see whether an attack actually succeeded, not just whether a suspicious request arrived. That could help them spot data leaks or misconfigurations they might otherwise miss. Teams using the WAF may want to review the full post for rollout details and how the feature works in practice.
