Introducing EOLDS: See Every EOL Dependency in Your Stack

Find every end-of-life dependency before your auditor does—and fix the risks your scanner can’t see.

Give me the TL;DR
Introducing EOLDS: See Every EOL Dependency in Your Stack
For Qualys admins, NES for .NET directly resolves the EOL/Obsolete Software:   Microsoft .NET Version 6 Detected vulnerability, ensuring your systems remain secure and compliant. Fill out the form to get pricing details and learn more.

Today, we’re launching EOLDS — the End-of-Life Detection Service.

EOLDS scans your software stack and identifies every open source dependency that has reached end of life. Not just the ones with known CVEs. All of them. Direct dependencies and transitive dependencies. Frameworks, runtimes, libraries, and packages across every language and ecosystem in your stack.

We built EOLDS because we kept hearing the same thing from the nearly half of the Fortune 100 we work with: “We didn’t know that dependency was end-of-life until the auditor found it.”

What EOLDS Does

  • Scans your codebase and identifies every EOL open source component — including ones nested deep in transitive dependency trees
  • Maps EOL dependencies to known CVEs and emerging vulnerability trends
  • Flags components approaching EOL before they cross the line (pre-EOL early warning at 90, 60, and 30 days)
  • Generates compliance-ready reports for auditors, CISOs, and GRC teams (CRA, PCI DSS, DORA, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
  • Integrates with your existing CI/CD pipeline and security toolchain
  • Share results with your team in one click — the person who finds the risk is rarely the person who prioritizes the fix

Why Now

Three forces are converging:

The CVE surge: 49,972 CVEs in 2025, with 2026 projections reaching 100,000. AI is finding decades-old bugs in even the most audited codebases. Every new CVE in an EOL component is permanently unpatched.

The EOL wave: 12+ major frameworks go EOL in the next 18 months. MySQL 8.0, Node.js 20, Angular 19, Django 4.2 — all within weeks of each other. Plus .NET 8 and .NET 9 on the same day in November.

The compliance clock: EU CRA mandatory vulnerability reporting starts September 2026, with penalties up to €15M. PCI DSS 4.0 requires supported software. Auditors are asking about EOL status, not just CVE counts.

How It Works

Run your first scan in minutes. EOLDS analyzes your dependency manifest files and returns a complete inventory of EOL components with support status, last patch date, known CVEs, compliance impact, and recommended remediation paths — including migration guidance and Never-Ending Support (NES) options for components you can’t migrate immediately.
