Field	Value
ID	V-002
Severity	HIGH
Scanner	multi_agent_ai
Rule	V-002
File	functions/artifacts/[[path]].ts:45
Assessment	Likely exploitable

Description: All API endpoints in both functions lack rate limiting protection. Endpoints include /latest/download/:branch/:bin, /:run_id_2{[0-9]+.json}, /:tag{[^/]+.json}, /download/:tag/:filename, and others. Attackers can make unlimited requests to exhaust Cloudflare Workers resources.

Evidence

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-002 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a private Node.js application (not published to npm). Vulnerabilities affect this application's own runtime only.

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path.

Security Invariant

Property: The security boundary is maintained under adversarial input

Regression test

import { app } from '../functions/artifacts/[[path]]';

describe('rate limiting protects against rapid successive requests', () => {
  const testCases = [
    { name: 'rapid burst attack', count: 100, path: '/latest/download/main/binary' },
    { name: 'boundary threshold', count: 15, path: '/latest/download/main/binary' },
    { name: 'valid single request', count: 1, path: '/latest/download/main/binary' },
  ];

  test.each(testCases)('enforces rate limits on $name', async ({ count, path }) => {
    const requests = Array(count).fill(null).map(() => 
      app.request(path, { method: 'GET' })
    );
    
    const responses = await Promise.all(requests);
    const rateLimitedCount = responses.filter(r => r.status === 429).length;
    
    // Security invariant: rapid requests must trigger rate limiting protection
    expect(count <= 10 || rateLimitedCount > 0).toBe(true);
  });
});

This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.

Walkthrough

Changes

The artifacts application now applies per-IP rate limiting. Each IP can make 60 requests within a 60-second bucket. Additional requests receive HTTP 429.

Artifact rate limiting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-IP request throttling functions/artifacts/[[path]].ts	Middleware counts requests by CF-Connecting-IP in one-minute buckets. It allows the first 60 requests, returns { error: 'Too many requests' } with HTTP 429 for later requests, and invokes downstream handlers for allowed requests.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to beedb

The new protection can still allow one IP to exceed the advertised limit, leaving the resource-exhaustion vulnerability materially unresolved. This should be corrected and tested before merge.

Add an artifact rate-limit regression test. No artifact test exercises the application entrypoint with a same-IP burst, confirms requests 1–60 reach the handler, and confirms request 61 returns HTTP 429. Add this coverage so a missing app.use('*', ...) registration cannot pass unnoticed.

site:developers.cloudflare.com/workers isolate global scope requests same Worker deployment routing eviction module state

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the Cloudflare Workers architecture, the relationship between global scope, request handling, deployment, and isolate lifecycle is managed as follows: Isolates and Global Scope: Cloudflare Workers run within V8 isolates, which are lightweight, secure sandboxes [1]. Each isolate maintains its own memory and execution context, including its global scope [1]. Because isolates are not guaranteed to be long-lived and may be evicted due to resource constraints, suspicious activity, or simply to manage the platform&#39;s execution environment, you should not store mutable state in the global scope [1]. If state must be preserved, use external storage options like Durable Objects, KV, or R2 rather than relying on in-memory global variables [1][2]. Request Routing and Deployments: Cloudflare&#39;s platform routes incoming requests to available isolates [1]. When you deploy a new version of a Worker, the platform manages the transition between old and new versions [3]. During gradual deployments, traffic is split between versions [4][5]. While the platform can route requests to different instances, it can use version affinity (often based on cookies or specific headers) to ensure that a user consistently hits the same version of a Worker throughout a deployment [4]. Module State and Bindings: When using Module Workers (the recommended format), bindings are passed explicitly via the env parameter rather than being exposed as globals [6]. This architecture is more efficient because it allows the runtime to reuse execution contexts across requests, whereas the older Service Worker syntax, which relied on global bindings, incurred higher overhead by creating a new context for every request [6]. Because global scope can persist across requests within a warm isolate, you must exercise caution: initializing state globally (e.g., creating a client instance) can lead to stale data if bindings or configurations change [2]. The recommended practice is to initialize such instances within the request handler (e.g., inside the fetch method) or to ensure they are designed to handle potential configuration updates [2]. Eviction: Isolates are evicted when resource limits are reached or when the runtime needs to reclaim resources [1]. Since evictions are a normal part of the platform&#39;s operation, your code must be designed to be stateless regarding its global environment [1]. Relying on the persistence of global variables or module-level state across requests is unsafe because the isolate containing that state can be evicted at any time [1].

<title>How Workers works · Cloudflare Workers docs</title> https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/reference/how-workers-works/ How Workers works · Cloudflare Workers docs # How Workers works Last updated Apr 23, 2026| Copy as Markdown| View as Markdown| Agent setup Though Cloudflare Workers behave similarly to JavaScript ↗ in the browser or in Node.js, there are a few differences in how you have to think about your code. Under the hood, the Workers runtime uses the V8 engine ↗ — the same engine used by Chromium and Node.js. The Workers runtime also implements many of the standard APIs available in most modern browsers. The differences between JavaScript written for the browser or Node.js happen at runtime. Rather than running on an individual&`#39`;s machine (for example, a browser application or on a centralized server ↗), Workers functions run on Cloudflare&`#39`;s global network ↗ - a growing global network of thousands of machines distributed across hundreds of locations. Each of these machines hosts an instance of the Workers runtime, and each of those runtimes is capable of running thousands of user-defined applications. This guide will review some of those differences. For more information, refer to the Cloud Computing without Containers blog post ↗. The three largest differences are: Isolates, Compute per Request, and Distributed Execution. ## Isolates V8 ↗ orchestrates isolates: lightweight contexts that provide your code with variables it can access and a safe environment to be executed within. You could even consider an isolate a sandbox for your function to run in. A single instance of the runtime can run hundreds or thousands of isolates, seamlessly switching between them. Each isolate&`#39`;s memory is completely isolated, so each piece of code is protected from other untrusted or user-written code on the runtime. Isolates are also designed to start very quickly. Instead of creating a virtual machine for each function, an isolate is created within an existing environment. This model eliminates the cold starts of the virtual machine model. Unlike other serverless providers which use containerized processes ↗ each running an instance of a language runtime, Workers pays the overhead of a JavaScript runtime once on the start of a container. Workers processes are able to run essentially limitless scripts with almost no individual overhead. Any given isolate can start around a hundred times faster than a Node process on a container or virtual machine. Notably, on startup isolates consume an order of magnitude less memory. Traditional architecture Workers V8 isolates User code Process overhead A given isolate has its own scope, but isolates are not necessarily long-lived. An isolate may be spun down and evicted for a number of reasons: - Resource limitations on the machine. - A suspicious script - anything seen as trying to break out of the isolate sandbox. - Individual resource limits. Because of this, it is generally advised that you not store mutable state in your global scope unless you have accounted for this contingency. If you are interested in how Cloudflare handles security with the Workers runtime, you can read more about how Isolates relate to Security and Spectre Threat Mitigation. ## Compute per request Most Workers are a variation on the default Workers flow: ``` export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx) { return new Response(&`#39`;Hello World!&`#39`;); }, }; ``` Copy code to clipboard ``` export default { async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> { return new Response(&`#39`;Hello World!&`#39`;); }, } satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>; ``` Copy code to clipboard For Workers written in ES modules syntax, when a request to your `*.workers.dev` subdomain or to your Cloudflare-managed domain is received by any of Cloudflare&`#39`;s data centers, the request invokes the `fetch()` handler defined in your Worker code with the given request. You can respond to the request by returning a `Response` object. ## Distributed execution Isolates are resilient and continuously available for the duration of a request, but in r…[truncated] <title>Bindings (env) · Cloudflare Workers docs</title> https://37731a98.preview.developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/bindings/ When you deploy a change to your Worker, and only change its bindings (i.e. you don&`#39`;t change the Worker&`#39`;s code), Cloudflare may reuse existing isolates that are already running your Worker. This improves performance — you can change an environment variable or other binding without unnecessarily reloading your code. ... As a result, you must be careful when "polluting" global scope with derivatives of your bindings. Anything you create there might continue to exist despite making changes to any underlying bindings. Consider an external client instance which uses a secret API key accessed from `env`: if you put this client instance in global scope and then make changes to the secret, a client instance using the original value might continue to exist. The correct approach would be to create a new client instance for each request. ... The following is a good approach: ... ```ts export default { fetch(request, env) { let client = new Client(env.MY_SECRET); // `client` is guaranteed to be up-to-date with the latest value of `env.MY_SECRET` since a new instance is constructed with every incoming request // ... do things with `client` }, }; ``` ... Compared to this alternative, which might have surprising and unwanted behavior: ... ```ts let client = undefined; export default { fetch(request, env) { client ??= new Client(env.MY_SECRET); // `client` here might not be updated when `env.MY_SECRET` changes, since it may already exist in global scope // ... do things with `client` }, }; ``` ... Importing `env` from `cloudflare:workers` is useful when you need to access a binding such as secrets or environment variables in top-level global scope. For example, to initialize an API client: ... Workers do not allow I/O from outside a request context. This means that even though `env` is accessible from the top-level scope, you will not be able to access every binding&`#39`;s methods. ... For instance, environment variables and secrets are accessible, and you are able to call `env.NAMESPACE.get` to get a Durable Object stub in the top-level context. However, calling methods on the Durable Object stub, making calls to a KV store, and calling to other Workers will not work. <title>Versions & deployments · Cloudflare Workers docs</title> https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/versions-and-deployments/ Versions & deployments · Cloudflare Workers docs # Versions & deployments Last updated Jul 3, 2026| Copy as Markdown| View as Markdown| Agent setup Every time you change your Worker&`#39`;s code or configuration, Workers creates a version. A deployment determines which version(s) are actively serving traffic. ## Versions A version captures the complete state of your Worker at a point in time: its bundled code, static assets, bindings, and compatibility settings. Each version has a unique ID and tracks who created it, when, and from where. You can optionally attach a message and tag to a version when you upload it. Note State changes for associated storage resources such as KV, R2, Durable Objects, and D1 are not tracked with versions. ## Deployments A deployment determines which version(s) of your Worker are actively serving traffic. A deployment can reference one version (serving 100% of traffic) or two versions (with traffic split between them during a gradual deployment). Each deployment tracks who created it, when, and which version(s) it includes. ## Default behavior By default, these two concepts are coupled together - when you run `wrangler deploy`, Workers creates a new version and immediately deploys it to 100% of traffic in a single step. You can decouple them so that uploading a version and deploying it are independent actions. This gives you control over when new code goes live, and lets you use strategies like gradual deployments or manual promotion. Refer to Deployment management for details. ### Via Wrangler Wrangler allows you to view the 100 most recent versions and deployments. Refer to the `versions list` and `deployments list` documentation for the commands. ### Via the Cloudflare dashboard 1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Workers & Pages page. Go to Workers & Pages ↗ 2. Select your Worker > Deployments. ## Next steps - Deployment management - Upload versions without deploying them and control when they go live - Preview URLs - Test new versions before deploying them to production - Gradual deployments - Split traffic between two versions using percentage-based routing - Version affinity - Consistently route users to the same version across page loads during a gradual deployment - Version overrides - Send a request to a specific version by ID for smoke testing and pinning between Workers - Rollbacks - Revert to a previously deployed version <title>Version affinity · Cloudflare Workers docs</title> https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/versions-and-deployments/gradual-deployments/version-affinity/ During a gradual deployment, each request has a random chance of routing to either version based on the specified percentages. This means the same user can be served content from a different version every time a request is made, which can cause version skew issues. ... Version affinity solves this by deterministically assigning users to a version based on a stable identifier, so they consistently hit the same version across page loads and subrequests for the duration of the gradual deployment. ... For a given deployment, all requests with a version key set to `foo` will be handled by the same version of your Worker. The platform hashes the key and uses the result with the configured percentages to deterministically assign a version - you do not choose which version a key maps to. ... As you progress a gradual deployment (for example, from 10% to 20% to 50%), users whose keys were already assigned to the new version will remain on it. Users on the old version will progressively move to the new version as the percentage increases, but will not flip back unless you roll back. ... You can set the `Cloudflare-Workers-Version-Key` header both when making an external request from the Internet to your Worker, as well as when making a subrequest from one Worker to another Worker using a service binding. ... Without version affinity, a user can receive HTML from version A, but when their browser requests `index-a1b2c3d4.js`, that request may be routed to version B - which does not have that file - resulting in a 404 error and a broken page. ... Configuring version affinity using any of the methods in Choose a version key prevents this entirely by ensuring all requests from the same user are routed to the same version. ... The right version key depends on what stable identifiers your application has available. You can set the header using a Transform Rule on your zone, which extracts values from the request without modifying your application code. ... Transform Rules require your Worker to be on a route on a zone you control. They are not available for Workers served on `*.workers.dev` domains. For `*.workers.dev`, you would need to set the header from the client or from an upstream Worker using a service binding. ... If your application has a user identifier in a cookie or header, this is the best option. Each user is deterministically assigned to a version and stays there across sessions, devices, and reloads. ... If your application sets a session cookie, use the session identifier. This gives consistent routing for the duration of the session. If the session expires and a new one is created, the user may be assigned to a different version. ... If your application does not have any stable identifier in the request, you have two options: ... Option 1: Use the client IP address. This is the simplest approach and requires no application changes. Users behind the same NAT or VPN will be grouped together, and mobile users who switch networks may change version, but for most applications this significantly reduces version flip-flopping compared to random per-request routing. ... Option 2: Set a long-lived cookie from your Worker. On the first request (which will be randomly assigned), your Worker generates a stable identifier and sets it as a cookie. All subsequent requests use that cookie as the version key. This gives the best consistency for anonymous users, at the cost of a small amount of application code. ... Then create a Transform Rule to use this cookie as the version key: ... On the very first request from a new user, no cookie exists yet, so the request will be randomly assigned to a version based on the configured percentages. The cookie is set on the response, so all subsequent requests will be consistently routed. ... You can verify that version affinity is working by sending multiple requests with the same version key and confirming they are handled by the same version: ... Use the version metadata binding to include the v... <title>Deployment management · Cloudflare Workers docs</title> https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/versions-and-deployments/deployment-management/ Deployment management · Cloudflare Workers docs # Deployment management Last updated Jul 15, 2026| Copy as Markdown| View as Markdown| Agent setup By default, a new version is created and immediately deployed to 100% of traffic when you use any of the following: - `wrangler deploy` - Workers Builds - The Workers Script Upload API You can separate these steps so that uploading a version and deploying it are independent actions. This lets you control exactly when a new version goes live. ### Via Wrangler Use the `wrangler versions upload` command: npm yarn pnpm ``` npx wrangler versions upload ``` ``` yarn wrangler versions upload ``` ``` pnpm wrangler versions upload ``` Wrangler versions before 3.73.0 require you to specify a `--x-versions` flag. To apply changes to a Worker&`#39`;s triggers (routes, domains, or cron triggers), use the `wrangler triggers deploy` command. ### Via the Cloudflare dashboard 1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Workers & Pages page. Go to Workers & Pages ↗ 2. Select your Worker > Edit code. 3. Make your changes, then select the down arrow next to Deploy > Save. Note New versions are not created when you make changes to resources connected to your Worker. For example, if two Workers (Worker A and Worker B) are connected via a service binding, changing the code of Worker B will not create a new version of Worker A. Changes to the service binding configuration (such as deleting the binding or updating the environment it points to) on Worker A will also not create a new version of Worker B. ## Deploy an uploaded version Once you have uploaded a version, you can create a deployment that routes traffic to it. ### Via Wrangler Use the `wrangler versions deploy` command and follow the interactive prompts to select the version and set it to 100%: ``` npx wrangler versions deploy ``` ``` yarn wrangler versions deploy ``` ``` pnpm wrangler versions deploy ``` You can also set the traffic percentage to less than 100% to start a gradual deployment. ### Via the Cloudflare dashboard 1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the Workers & Pages page. Go to Workers & Pages ↗ 2. Select your Worker > Deployments. 3. Select Promote deployment and choose the version you want to deploy. ### Via Infrastructure as Code You can also create versions and deployments directly with the API, library SDKs, and Terraform. Refer to Infrastructure as Code for examples. ### Deployments limit You can only create a deployment with the last 100 uploaded versions of your Worker. ### First upload You must use C3 or `wrangler deploy` the first time you create a new Workers project. Using `wrangler versions upload` the first time you upload a Worker will fail. ### Service worker syntax Service worker syntax is not supported for versions that are uploaded through `wrangler versions upload`. You must use ES modules format. Refer to Migrate from Service Workers to ES modules to learn how to migrate your Workers from the service worker format to the ES modules format. ### Durable Object migrations Uploading a version that changes Durable Object class lifecycle is not supported. This applies to both the declarative `exports` field and the legacy `migrations` array - any change that creates, deletes, renames, or transfers a Durable Object class must be applied through `wrangler deploy`.

Denial of Service

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-770 — Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

Use shared rate-limit state.

rateLimitBuckets is local to each Cloudflare Worker isolate. Requests can reach different isolates, and eviction can reset the counters. The same IP can therefore exceed 60 requests per minute. The repository configuration defines no Durable Object or other shared rate-limit control.

Use persistent per-IP Durable Object state or an applicable Cloudflare edge rate-limit rule. Do not rely on this module-level Map as the sole limit.

Thanks for the PR, and for taking the time to look at the artifact proxy. I'm going to close this one, but I want to explain the reasoning rather than just decline it.

The middleware doesn't actually enforce a limit here. rateLimitBuckets is a module-level Map, which means it lives inside a single Workers isolate. Requests are spread across many isolates and isolates are evicted freely, so the same IP can go well past 60/min without ever tripping the counter. The map also never prunes expired entries, so it grows for as long as the isolate lives. CodeRabbit flagged the same thing on line 118.

The suggested remedies aren't available to this project. This is a Cloudflare Pages project (pages_build_output_dir = "dist"), not a Worker:

• The Workers Rate Limiting binding is documented as unsupported on Pages.
• Durable Objects can't help directly either — "You cannot create and deploy a Durable Object within a Pages project" (docs). A Pages project can only consume a DO namespace defined in a separate Worker and bound in both production and preview.

So a correct in-code fix would mean standing up and maintaining a second Worker just for this.

And the threat model is thinner than the scanner suggests. These endpoints carry no tokens, secrets, or database access — they read the public GitHub API and nightly.link. Every route is already edge-cached (5 minutes for /latest/..., 24 hours for immutable per-run artifacts), so repeated requests are served from cache and never reach the origin.

If we do want throttling, the right place is a WAF rate limiting rule scoped to /artifacts* — zero application code, and it applies before the Function runs. That's a dashboard change on our side.

Closing as won't-merge. No criticism of the effort intended — the underlying observation was reasonable, it just doesn't have a good implementation on Pages, and the version here would add a memory leak plus the appearance of protection without the substance.

[anupamme]

Thanks for the review. I agree with the concern around the in-memory Map; since Workers can run across multiple isolates and the state isn’t durable, it shouldn’t be treated as a reliable global per-IP rate limit.

If you're open, I can rework this to use a Cloudflare-supported mechanism for shared rate limiting rather than relying on module-level state, and I’ll add an integration test that exercises the actual middleware path and verifies that the 61st request from the same IP receives a 429.

I’ll also document the rationale for the limit and its scope. Thanks for catching this.

[DTTerastar]

I'm open, but what really should save our bacon is really good caching. If the caching is working we won't even run any of this code.
