Component End-of-Life

Sonatype captures the declared End-of-Life (EOL) for open-source software (OSS) projects. Components that are end-of-life declare either in project metadata, readme files, or other official locations that they are no longer supported and have reached "end-of-life".

EOL components do not receive enhancements, security issues may go unreported and unpatched while bug fixes are ignored. A lack of updates to EOL components may present a sense stability and of false security; leaving consumers open to the risk of being exploited.

This dashboard displays a list of applications and the corresponding EOL components detected by Lifecycle. Based on this data, you can strategically plan to retire old OSS components and migrate to the latest supported ones.

Note

The EOL dashboard currently displays components of npm, Maven, NuGet, and PyPI format/ecosystems.
