@Cloudflare’s Dec 5 outage wasn’t caused by a bug. It was caused by a single assumption that stayed hidden for 7 years… and two perfectly normal changes that made it explode. Here’s the breakdown ↓

2nd Cloudflare Outage 5, December 2025 Reason: A mitigation that became the problem. What happened: To protect against a newly discovered React vulnerability (CVE), Cloudflare disabled specific logging functions. Result: This seemingly minor change triggered unexpected internal service degradation. It wasn't a cyberattack or a maintenance window gone wrong (despite overlapping scheduled maintenance in Detroit); it was a side effect of a security hotfix.

@heyandras @Cloudflare since you seem to be bored, let's fix real stuff: 1. stop disconnecting the terminal every couple of seconds, if it's not in focus 2. keep showing the logs, even if a new app version got deployed, without refreshing the page 3. add a way to see the deployment logs of a proxy

@datashelfie @nalinrajput23 Yes, there was a Cloudflare outage on Dec 5, 2025, lasting about 25 minutes, which affected services like ChatGPT, Claude, LinkedIn, Perplexity, Notion, and even Downdetector. It was caused by a WAF config change and has been resolved. All seem back up now.

@itsnir @Cloudflare Imagine the internet is like a busy highway where cars (information) zoom around. Cloudflare is like a helpful traffic guard keeping things safe and fast. They tried to fix a tool (like adjusting a stoplight), but it accidentally caused a big jam—some cars got stuck and couldn't move for 25 minutes. It was like spilling toys on your bedroom floor, blocking the door so you can't get in. They cleaned it up quickly by undoing the change, and everything went back to normal. No bad guys involved!

@JamJarPro1 @nalinrajput23 Yes, Cloudflare had an outage on Dec 5, 2025, from 08:47 to 09:12 UTC, affecting ~28% of their HTTP traffic and causing errors for sites like LinkedIn, Notion, Claude, Perplexity, and Downdetector. ChatGPT was reportedly accessible for some.

While it’s a shame that Cloudflare brought the internet down twice in less than a month, it’s time for software engineers around the world to take time to: - understand how to validate infrastructure config changes - app config changes - gradually rollout these config changes

@SoSoValueCrypto Alright team, good news! SoSoValue services are fully back online after that global Cloudflare outage earlier today. Phew, what a ride. Just to be super clear: this was totally an external Cloudflare thing, not on our end. And the best part?

@OlabieDev @dok2001 Cloudflare outage TL;DR: On Dec 5, 2025, a config change disabled an internal WAF testing tool, triggering Lua errors in the FL1 proxy. Caused HTTP 500 errors for ~28% of traffic (users with Managed Ruleset on old proxy). Lasted 25 mins, fixed by revert. Not a cyber attack—bug from buffer size tweak for CVE-2025-55182.

Cloudflare outages remind everyone how much of the internet depends on a single provider. A dashboard issue or config slip affects thousands of services at once. Filecoin gives developers an option to run storage and retrieval across many operators with on-chain proofs.

@barremian2 @arekfurt Because they were desperate to block the react.js bug. It’s one of the worst to have showed up in recent years & because such a huge volume of sites use react. Cloudflare were already seeing isolated groups try use it. So block hard and fast.

(@kaif9998) reported
1st Cloudflare Outage - 18, November 2025 Reason: A "fat finger" database permission change. What happened: Engineers changed permissions on a database used for Bot Management. This inadvertently caused a query to output duplicate entries, doubling the size of a specific feature file. Result: The file grew larger than the hard-coded buffer limit on the network's edge machines. When they tried to load it, the software crashed, taking down traffic processing for customer sites.

@heyandras @Cloudflare if you could also store the config used for specific proxy deployment, this would be amazing to track what and when changed, in case of some problems

@ThanuwaraD58168 @nalinrajput23 These services experienced outages due to a Cloudflare issue on December 5, 2025. A change in their Web Application Firewall to fix a vulnerability caused temporary network unavailability. Cloudflare resolved it by around 09:20 UTC, and most services are back online now. Check status pages for updates.

@itsnir @Cloudflare On Dec 5, 2025, Cloudflare faced a 25-min outage starting at 08:47 UTC. A config change to disable an internal WAF testing tool triggered a Lua exception in the FL1 proxy, causing HTTP 500 errors for ~28% of traffic (those using older proxy with Managed Ruleset). Fixed by reverting the change at 09:12 UTC. Not a cyber attack; tied to CVE mitigation efforts.

@techn0_sap1en It's great that Bun got acquired, but it's business model was a ridiculous pipe dream (e.g., competing w/ AWS & Cloudflare on Infra) & for pretty good reasons: 1. Vercel is a PaaS company that created Next.js as a growth hack & not the other way around. They intentionally made it harder to self-host. Bun, as a runtime can't do that. 2. The skillsets required to build & maintain a runtime is very different than the one required to run a typical hosting company i.e., not PaaS. PaaS, like Vercel are wrappers on top of existing infrastructure companies like AWS, so they can never be cheaper than AWS, because they have to pay AWS Costs + Margin. A pure play hosting company on the other hand, is less about technology & more about economics & logistics.

On December 5, 2025 Cloudflare’s network had an outage. It went down because a new security update changed how requests were processed, and this update triggered a hidden bug in their older proxy system. That bug caused the proxy to break and return massive HTTP 500 errors, which took many websites offline at once.

@CMG_Esports When's the site coming back online? Went down yesterday because @Cloudflare went down. And now your website said doing update, and now is down down. 🫤
