Never-Ending Support (NES) for Spring Now Available for Spring Framework 4.x

At HeroDevs, we’re committed to ensuring that your applications remain secure, compliant, and compatible—even when using end-of-life software. That’s why we’re excited to announce the expansion of our Never-Ending Support (NES) for Spring to include Spring Framework 4.x.

Exclusive, Indefinite Support for Spring 4.x and Beyond

Spring Framework 4.x reached its official end-of-life (EOL) on December 31, 2020, leaving many businesses without critical updates or security patches. HeroDevs is the only provider in the world offering long-term, ongoing support for Spring Framework 4.x—and we’re committed to supporting it indefinitely.

For organizations still running Spring 4.x and its related components, upgrading isn’t always feasible in the short term. Also, with Spring Framework 4 in deprecated status, there are a number of CVEs that may affect users which require immediate solutions. That’s why our NES for Spring delivers essential security fixes, ensuring your legacy systems remain safe from emerging threats, without the pressure to migrate right away.

Critical CVEs in Spring 4.x: Why Your Business is at Risk

As mentioned above, Spring 4.x is vulnerable to numerous high-risk CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), putting businesses at risk of exploits and data breaches. Issues such as CVE-2018-1270 and CVE-2018-1275, among others, leave organizations open to unauthorized access, injection attacks, and potential data loss.

With HeroDevs’ NES for Spring, your Spring 4.x applications will receive patches for these critical CVEs and any future vulnerabilities, keeping your systems secure and compliant even after official support has ended. For a deeper dive into these CVEs, check out our latest blog post on Spring 4.x CVEs.
