>If a Cloudflare customer has configured their origin server to respond only to Cloudflare IPs, then they MUST also verify that the "Host" header on any request actually matches their domain name. If they do not verify the Host header, then anyone can sign up for Cloudflare and simply configure their DNS to point to the victim's origin IP address, and requests will be routed there -- but will have the attacker's domain in the Host header.
What exactly could such a misconfiguration enable? Just that the attacker could configure lower levels of Cloudflare security settings for their domain, to bypass the origin's intended Cloudflare security settings? Would this also bypass I'm Under Attack Mode?
