Renew the expired security.txt on Cloudflare

Why it matters

A security.txt past its Expires date is treated as stale, so researchers may not trust the contact or may not use it at all. Renewing it takes a minute.

The fix

1. If the file is managed in Cloudflare, open Security, Settings, Web application exploits, Security.txt, Configurations, set a new Expires at date and Save.
2. Put a reminder in your calendar a month before the new date.
