End-of-Security Vulnerability Support

santosomar commented 5 months ago

Potential Definition

End-of-Security Vulnerability Support (EOSVS) marks the date when a vendor or maintainer ceases to provide updates and patches to address security vulnerabilities for a particular software or hardware product. After this date, any new security flaws discovered will not be officially fixed. EOSVS is a critical milestone in the product lifecycle, as it signals to users the need to upgrade or replace their products to maintain security compliance and protect against potential cyber threats.

Example:

Consider a software application called "SecureApp" developed by TechSoft. TechSoft has announced that the End-of-Security Vulnerability Support for SecureApp version 4.0 will be on December 31, 2024. After this date, TechSoft will no longer release security patches for any vulnerabilities discovered in version 4.0. Users of SecureApp 4.0 are advised to upgrade to the latest version, SecureApp 5.0, which will continue to receive security updates and support.
