The EOL Blind Spot in Your CVE Feed: What SCA Tools Miss

This sponsored analysis warns that vast numbers of EOL open-source package versions are not investigated or flagged by the CVE ecosystem and vulnerability scanners, creating large, hidden exposure across enterprises; Sonatype/HeroDevs data shows millions of EOL package versions and examples (like Spring Security 6.2.x) where EOL releases were affected by critical CVEs but omitted from official advisories, and the report argues this systemic gap will worsen as AI accelerates vulnerability discovery.
