You Can't Patch Software Nobody Maintains.

81,000+ packages have known CVEs and zero fix path. Your SCA flags the vulnerability. EOL DS tells you the software is dead.

THE COST OF WAITING

This Isn't Tech Debt. It's Active Exposure.

Every quarter you defer EOL remediation, the blast radius grows. The vulnerability data layer is broken, consumption practices are making it worse, and the software itself is dying underneath you.

STAGE 1

Data Gaps

64.5% of CVEs go unscored by NVD. 46% of those turn out to be High or Critical after Sonatype review. Your scanner's clean bill of health is built on incomplete data.

STAGE 2

Silent Consumption

Nearly 1.8 billion avoidable vulnerable downloads of just four Java components in 2025. Versions get pinned once and copied forward for years — nobody checks if the project is still alive.

STAGE 3

Ecosystem Decay

81,000+ package versions with known CVEs are both EOL and unpatchable. HeroDevs estimates this number is actually 400,000+ across all registries. No one is coming to fix them.

STAGE 4

Inevitable Incident

42 million vulnerable Log4j downloads in 2025 — three years after the patch was available. Famous vulnerabilities become permanent fixtures on dead software. The debt always comes due.
