US EditionCloudflare Previews AI Rebuild of Wordpress in TypeScript
Cloudflare says 96% of WordPress vulnerabilities come from plugins, and EmDash isolates each plugin in a sandbox with upfront permissions.
- Cloudflare launched EmDash, an open-source CMS it deems the "spiritual successor" to WordPress, offering developers an alternative platform with enhanced security architecture.
- Data shows 96% of WordPress vulnerabilities originate from plugins lacking isolation, prompting Cloudflare to place EmDash plugins in isolated sandboxes called Dynamic Workers requiring upfront permission declarations.

- Senior Product Manager Matt Taylor and Senior Principal Systems Engineer Matt Kane added, "We've bet on this architecture at Cloudflare in part because we believe in having low cost and free tiers, and that everyone should be able to build websites that scale.
