Skill instructions

Cloudflare Zero Trust Skill

Audit and implement Zero Trust security policies using Cloudflare Access, service tokens, and mTLS. Ensure all environments (production, staging, dev) have appropriate access controls.

Environment Protection Matrix

Environment Expected Protection Common Gap Risk Level
Production CF Access + WAF + Rate Limiting Usually protected LOW
Staging CF Access (should mirror prod) Often missing Access HIGH
Development CF Access or IP restrictions Frequently exposed CRITICAL
Preview (PR deploys) CF Access or time-limited Often public HIGH
Admin/Internal APIs Service Tokens + mTLS Basic auth only CRITICAL

Zero Trust Audit Workflow

Step 1: Environment Discovery
1. List all Workers in account via MCP
2. Identify environment patterns:
   - *-staging, *-dev, *-preview
   - staging.*, dev.*, preview.*
   - Feature branch deployments
3. Check route configurations
Step 2: Access Policy Verification

For each environment, verify:

// Query Access applications
mcp__cloudflare-access__list_applications()

// For each route/hostname, check if Access policy exists:
// - Authentication requirement
// - Allow/Block rules
// - Session duration
// - Geographic restrictions
Step 3: Audit Findings
ID Name Severity Check
ZT001 Staging without Access CRITICAL staging.* routes without Access policy
ZT002 Dev environment exposed CRITICAL dev.* publicly accessible
ZT003 Preview deploys public HIGH .pages.dev or preview. without Access
ZT004 Admin routes unprotected CRITICAL /admin/* without Access or auth middleware
ZT005 Internal APIs no service token HIGH Internal service routes without mTLS/tokens
ZT006 Weak session duration MEDIUM Access session > 24h for sensitive routes
ZT007 No geographic restriction LOW Admin access from any country
ZT008 Missing bypass audit MEDIUM Bypass rules without justification
ZT009 Jobs route no service token CRITICAL /jobs/* without service token auth
ZT010 Admin without MFA HIGH Admin uses password-only (no OTP/MFA)
ZT011 Hardcoded credentials CRITICAL Service token credentials in source
ZT012 Long admin sessions MEDIUM Admin session > 4h

Environment Detection Heuristics

Staging/Dev Indicators
Hostname patterns:
- staging.*, stage.*, stg.*
- dev.*, development.*
- preview.*, pr-*.*, branch-*.*
- *.pages.dev (Cloudflare Pages previews)
- localhost:*, 127.0.0.1:*

Wrangler config indicators:
- env.staging, env.development
- name: "*-staging", "*-dev"
- vars.ENVIRONMENT: "staging" | "development"
Admin Route Indicators
Path patterns requiring protection:
- /admin/*
- /api/admin/*
- /internal/*
- /dashboard/*
- /manage/*
- /config/*
- /_debug/*
- /metrics, /health (depends on sensitivity)

Output Format

# Zero Trust Audit Report

**Scope**: [Account/Zone]
**Environments Scanned**: X

## Critical Gaps (Immediate Action Required)

### [ZT001] Staging Environment Exposed
- **Route**: staging.example.com/*
- **Status**: No Access policy detected
- **Risk**: Staging data/functionality exposed to internet
- **Fix**: Create Access application with team email domain restriction
- **Provenance**: `[LIVE-VALIDATED]` via cloudflare-access MCP

## Recommendations

1. [ ] Create Access application for `staging.example.com`
2. [ ] Implement service token auth for CI/CD access
3. [ ] Add mTLS for internal service-to-service calls
4. [ ] Review and reduce session durations

MCP Tools for Zero Trust

// List Access applications
mcp__cloudflare-access__list_applications()

// Get application details
mcp__cloudflare-access__get_application({ app_id: "..." })

// List Access policies
mcp__cloudflare-access__list_policies({ app_id: "..." })

// Verify route protection
mcp__cloudflare-bindings__workers_list()

Quick Reference

Topic Recommendation
Preview deploys Always protect with Access; use time-limited URLs
Service tokens Rotate quarterly; scope to specific applications
mTLS Required for PCI-DSS/HIPAA compliance scenarios
Session duration Shorter for admin (1-4h), longer for general (24h)
Bypass rules Document and audit regularly; set expiration
Geographic restrictions Consider for admin access
Device posture Enable for high-security environments (requires WARP)
