A scenario could involve a website with a misconfigured DNS setting, revealing the origin IP address. An attacker, using Metasploit, could then scan the origin server directly using a vulnerability scanner (e.g., a module targeting a known vulnerability in the web server software). If a vulnerability like a SQL injection or remote code execution is found, the attacker can exploit it directly, bypassing Cloudflare's security measures because the attack targets the origin server instead of the Cloudflare proxy.
