Current Status: Yes, Canva is Down (Recovering). You are likely experiencing issues because of a massive global Cloudflare outage occurring today (December 5, 2025).
-
What is happening? Canva, Discord, ChatGPT, Zerodha, and many other major services are failing to load or showing “500 Internal Server Error.”
-
Is it fixed? Reports indicate the fix has been implemented and services are coming back online right now.
The “Why” (It connects to your first question!)
This is a rare moment where your previous question is the direct answer to your current problem.
Cloudflare’s CTO has confirmed that this outage was caused by the mitigation for CVE-2025-66478 (The React Server Components vulnerability you asked about earlier).
-
The Threat: Cloudflare attempted to roll out a network-wide protection to block exploits of the React vulnerability (CVE-2025-66478).
-
The Accident: To implement this safely, they disabled certain logging mechanisms. This change unexpectedly caused a “service degradation” that took down their network, and consequently, sites like Canva that rely on it.
What should you do?
Since the fix is already rolling out:
-
Do not reinstall anything. This is not an issue with your computer or account.
-
Hard Refresh: Press
Ctrl + F5(Windows) orCmd + Shift + R(Mac) to force your browser to check for the live version of the site. -
Wait: If it is still down, it should be resolved within the next 15–30 minutes as the network stabilizes.
