The open-source agentic tool ARTEX was taken down by its creator on Oct. 8 after malicious use, but in the month since more than 12,000 related repositories have appeared, and in just three days more than 50 framework families tried to scan Cloudflare customers worldwide from thousands of IP addresses. The company argues security teams need a model built for this volumetric, autonomously guided probing.

LinkedIn had challenged an order seeking journalists' data and a gag that blocked it from telling the journalists or their news organizations. Judge Harvie Wilkinson III, writing that “confidentiality of sources is the lifeblood of a free press,” remanded the case for the district court to consider narrowing both the demand and the disclosure ban.

Kitesurf is now open source

Cloudflare has open-sourced Kitesurf, its stateless browser for AI agents, on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license. The browser runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers, parsing HTML, applying CSS, executing page JavaScript and taking screenshots without a full browser container, and it supports the Chrome DevTools Protocol so clients such as Puppeteer can connect. The company first introduced Kitesurf in August as a lighter alternative to Chromium that can scale on Workers.
