How are Next.js CVEs addressed in EOL versions? What is Next.js official EOL policy?

Next.js versions that have reached End-of-Life (EOL) no longer receive official support or security updates from Vercel. This means that any Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) identified in these versions remain unpatched, posing potential security risks to applications still using them. The official EOL policy for Next.js is not clearly defined, but there is precedence that once a major version comes out, the previous major version technically enters EOL. HeroDevs offers Never-Ending Support (NES) to provide security updates and compliance assurances for deprecated Next.js versions.

Can I get Next.js security patches anywhere else?

No. Once Next.js versions reach end-of-life (EOL), they no longer receive updates from the Next.js community. HeroDevs’ Next.js NES is the only long-term security solution, providing security patches, compliance assurances, and dedicated expert support.

What happens now that some versions of Next.js are end-of-life?

If your application relies on EOL Next.js versions, it will no longer receive security patches, bug fixes, or compliance updates from the open-source community. This creates security, stability, and compliance risks. With Next.js NES, you can continue using your current version safely and securely.

The React team has committed to backporting security fixes to old React release lines. HeroDevs is considering providing React NES in the future, so if the SLA and compliance benefits interest you, get in touch.

How hard is it to switch to Next.js NES?

Switching to Next.js NES is seamless and requires no major or breaking changes. Installation involves updating your build dependencies to point to HeroDevs' secure private repository.

How does Next.js NES compare to rebuilding with modern versions?

Rebuilding with modern versions of Next.js can cost 4-8x more than implementing NES, requires 6-12 months of development time, and risks disrupting critical operations. NES provides immediate security while allowing you to plan migrations strategically.

What happens if we do nothing now that some versions of Next.js are end-of-life?

Without security patches, your Next.js applications using legacy versions face increasing vulnerabilities, potentially compromising your applications and exposing sensitive information.

What are the benefits of using Next.js NES?

Next.js NES provides peace of mind by ensuring that your applications remain secure and compliant. It offers enterprise security patching, compliance readiness, application stability, and dedicated expert support.
