Yeah, particularly because the specific HTML that causes the problem is known.

If you have perfect information about what resources were requested when, you can look for a spike in queries for vulnerable resources. Once you see that, you know there was an intentional exploit and can start to look at who drove that spike, what was leaked, etc.

The problem is that we're talking about l huge amounts of data. I'm skeptical that CF has lots of sufficient length and detail to conduct this analysis, but have no real knowledge about their forensic capabilities.

But the specific HTML that causes the problem is a common error that can be seen on plenty of pages, and the window which the vulnerability was active for was huge. How could you know that someone is intentionally using that erroring page to exploit the vulnerability?
