> As part of our ongoing work to protect customers using React against a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-55182, we started rolling out an increase to our buffer size to 1MB, the default limit allowed by Next.js applications.

Why would increasing the buffer size help with that security vulnerability? Is it just a performance optimization?

If the request data is larger than the limit it doesn’t get processed by the Cloudflare system. By increasing buffer size they process (and therefore protect) more requests.
