Introducing Apache Tapestry NES: Long-Term Security for Your Java Applications

Apache Tapestry is a robust, component-based Java framework known for its modular UI development, simplified page navigation, and seamless Java integration. Many enterprises have relied on Tapestry for years to build scalable, high-performance web applications. However, as older versions of Tapestry reach end-of-life (EOL), businesses face increasing security threats, compliance failures, and costly system maintenance challenges.

HeroDevs is introducing Apache Tapestry NES (Never-Ending Support)—a comprehensive long-term support solution that provides security patches and compliance updates by demonstrated security experts. This ensures that Tapestry-based applications remain secure and fully functional without requiring disruptive migrations.

The Risks of Running End-of-Life Apache Tapestry

Running an end-of-life (EOL) version of Apache Tapestry introduces significant security, compliance, and operational risks. Once EOL, the framework no longer receives critical patches, leaving known vulnerabilities open to exploitation.

Key risks include:

• Unpatched Security Vulnerabilities: Multiple high-severity CVEs have been identified since Tapestry 4.1.x went EOL:\
  
  
  • CVE-2019-0195 – Critical (9.8)
    
    
  • CVE-2019-0207 – High (7.5)
    
    
  • CVE-2019-10071 – Critical (9.8)
    
    
  • CVE-2014-1972 – High (7.8)
    
    
  • CVE-2022-31781 – High (7.5)
    
    
• Compliance Failures: Using unsupported software can violate regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2, potentially leading to failed audits and penalties.
  
  
• Operational Instability: Legacy bugs and security gaps increase the risk of downtime and application failures, impacting business continuity.
  
  

Organizations still relying on Apache Tapestry must take proactive steps to mitigate these risks and maintain long-term system stability.
