A February 26, 2026, report from The Tech Buzz identifies a new open-source tool named Scrapling. This software enables AI agents to bypass enterprise-grade anti-bot security systems, including those managed by Cloudflare.
The emergence of Scrapling signifies an escalating technical conflict between AI automation and web security infrastructure. Developers utilize these tools to scrape website data for AI model training without authorization.
This development poses a significant challenge to Cloudflare’s business as a dominant provider of bot management solutions for millions of websites. Available reports indicate no immediate market reaction to these findings.
