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.
