End-of-Life Data Set (EOLDS) I Find Abandoned Open-Source Dependencies Your Scanner Misses

3 min read Original article ↗

Complete Visibility Into End-of-Life Software.

When a dependency shows zero CVEs, is it secure or has everyone just stopped looking? EOL DS reveals unsupported, end-of-life software hiding across your stack.

Used by engineering, security, and compliance leaders to maintain control over unsupported open source software.

Most Open Source Risk Isn’t a CVE. It’s End-of-Life.

Security teams track vulnerabilities. Engineering teams track dependencies. Who tracks whether the software is still supported?

EOL DS delivers Lifecycle Intelligence — real-time insight into:

What will never get a fix again

Where your stack is quietly aging out

The Cost Of Not Knowing

EOL software isn’t just a tech problem. It’s a business risk hiding in plain sight.

$4.88M

Avg. cost of data breach involving unpatched software

IBM Cost of Data Breach 2024

+23%

Increase in breach cost when EOL software is involved

60%

Of breaches exploit known, unpatched vulnerabilities

287 days

Average time to identify a breach from EOL components

Powered By The EOL Engine

The EOL Engine analyzes 12M+ package versions across all major ecosystems — continuously collecting, normalizing, and scoring lifecycle data.

The most complete, accurate end-of-life dataset ever assembled

Multi-signal heuristic analysis

CVE patch behavior analysis

Maintainer activity & release cadence tracking

Repository status detection

Version-line age modeling

Fully distributed data ingestion pipeline

Lifecycle Intelligence — Not Another Scanner

SCA tools tell you what’s vulnerable right now. EOL DS answers the question they can’t: will this software ever be patched again?

Scan. Understand Risk. Take Action.

Visbility Into Unsupported & At-Risk Open Source Software

Long-tail, transitive, obscure — nothing gets missed.

Get A Complete Risk Report

Support status, predicted EOL, version maturity, and dependency impact.

Find The Risk.
Fix What You Can’t Upgrade.

EOL DS shows you the unsupported software running across your organization. We believe in most instances, the right move is to upgrade, BUT for the ones you can’t migrate immediately the deeply embedded frameworks, the dependencies with no clear upgrade path- there’s Never-Ending Support.

EOL DS Identifies

Unsupported frameworks in production

Abandoned dependencies with no maintainer

Software that will never receive patches

Hidden lifecycle risk in your stack

NES Provides

Security Patches for EOL software

Compliance continuity without forced migrations

Time to modernize without disruption

Drop-in support for 150+ frameworks

Upgrade when you can. NES when you can’t.

Built For The Teams That Own The Risk

Security Teams graphic

Security Teams

Eliminate blind spots scanners can’t see. Catch unsupported software before attackers do.

Engineering Teams graphic

Engineering Teams

Stop dependency drift, avoid surprise migrations, and protect release velocity.

Compliance Teams graphic

Compliance Teams

Get proof of supportability and avoid lifecycle-related audit findings.

Unsupported = Unpatchable.

If your software is no longer supported:

New vulnerabilities will never receive fixes

Compliance exposure increases, Audit readiness decreases

Migration urgency becomes reactive instead of strategic

EOL Dataset helps you move from reactive to proactive.

EOL Dataset Works The Way Your Team Already Works.

Integrate into CI/CD pipelines

Export reports for audit reviews

Share results across engineering and security teams
