When Node.js versions go end-of-life, the CVEs don’t stop.
Supported Versions: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
Never-Ending Support for Node.js gives your security team, your engineers, and your leadership back something they lost at EOL: the power to control their own security posture, their own timeline, and where the business focuses its attention.

Security, compliance, and continuity -- solved together
With our secure drop-in replacement for end-of-life versions of Node.js, your scanners stop flagging CVEs in end-of-life Node.js versions for good.
Security Patches
CVE fixes for all severity levels on end-of-life versions of Node.js — closing the window attackers depend on.
SLA-backed patch delivery tied to severity
Remediation and back-porting fixes for all EOL versions
Fleet-wide coverage, cloud & on-prem
Compliance
With NES, your scanners stop flagging CVEs in end-of-life Node.js versions — turning open audit findings into closed ones.
Coverage for SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, DORA, NIS2, among other standards, frameworks, and regulations
DORA, NIS2, EU Cyber Resilience Act, and more
Meet internal policies and customer compliance requirements
Business Continuity
A drop-in replacement that installs in seconds with no app code changes — so you migrate on your own schedule with the runtime secure.
Months or years of runway to migrate right
No rewrites, no broken builds
A fraction of migration cost
Use cases from the day you install Never-Ending Support
Before — the pain
Hundreds of services stuck on EOL Node.js
Scanners flag every run, no upstream patches are coming, and when a new CVE drops the window between disclosure and exploit is wide open.
After — with HeroDevs
The fleet moves from exposed to defended
NES drops in across on-prem or cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) services with no code changes. SLA-backed CVE patches resume on versions 12–20.
Before — the pain
An open finding with no answer
Internal audit, SOC 2, and a customer security questionnaire all flag EOL Node.js. There's no remediation path, and leaders have no defensible answer for auditors or the board.
After — with HeroDevs
Findings close, questionnaires answer themselves
Commercial support with committed SLAs and OpenJS Foundation endorsement. Scanners stop flagging CVEs and you reference a named, vendor-backed runtime aligned to PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2, and CRA.
Before — the pain
The EOL clock vs. the roadmap
The backlog is full, headcount is frozen, and cloud providers are deprecating EOL runtimes. A rushed migration across hundreds of services risks production incidents and pulls engineers off the roadmap.
After — with HeroDevs
Migrate on your terms, not the clock
A drop-in across the fleet — no code changes, on-prem or cloud. Teams get 1–3 years of breathing room to plan a proper migration while the runtime stays secure, compliant, and stable.
By leveraging HeroDevs' extended support, we were able to mitigate security risks, continue safe operation of the legacy application, and gain valuable time to plan a more sustainable long-term migration strategy—all without compromising on client experience or regulatory requirements.
Every patch we ship has a published CVE entry
If you're running EOL Node.js today, your applications are exposed to the vulnerabilities below. Switch to NES in minutes to mitigate them. Every fix is published, one CVE per entry.
Easy to deploy, No disruptions.
Pick your version
Available in HeroDevs NES registry. NES Node.js versions 12, 14, 16, 18, or 20.
Set up your token
Add your HeroDevs auth token so your environment can pull the patched runtime securely.
Drop it in
Install the NES version. No application code changes. Container image or binary available.
Scanners pass
Actively patched and commercially supported — so CVE findings on EOL Node.js close.
NES for Node.js ships as container images and binaries, so the same SLA-backed patches reach every service you run -- from serverless functions to Kubernetes, to bare VMs on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises.

We Partner With Core Contributors
We collaborate with the Node.js project to ensure NES is the same quality you expect. By involving core maintainers, we set a new standard for sunsetted open source to make NES as dependable as the original.

We Give Back to Open Source
Open source maintainers do critical work, but rarely get paid for it.
HeroDevs is putting $20 million toward changing that — funding the creators and projects that keep the ecosystem running, with grants from $2,500 to $250,000.
We’ve written patches for unmaintained codebases, tracked down vulnerabilities where no one else was looking, and kept critical systems running safely without rushed rewrites. This fund builds on that work, so maintainers can keep doing what they do best.
Why organizations choose NES for Node.js
NES for Node.js is the only EOL Node.js support endorsed by the OpenJS Foundation and built with Node.js core-maintainer expertise — and HeroDevs funds and supports the open source community directly. Most alternatives can't say the same.
A defensible answer for every standard, framework, or regulation
EOL software undermines patch-management expectations across regulations worldwide. NES gives you a maintained, vendor-backed runtime with committed SLAs and a documented patch history to demonstrate to auditors and regulators full compliance with those requirements.
PCI DSS
Req. 6.3.3 requires known critical or high-severity vulnerabilities be patched within 30 days. EOL Node.js with no patch means immediate non-compliance — NES restores the patch path.
HIPAA
Unsupported runtimes make it hard to show reasonable safeguards for systems handling ePHI. NES provides active maintenance and risk reduction.
SOC 2
Trust Services Criteria expect timely vulnerability remediation and patch management. EOL runtimes fail certification without support.
NIS2
Article 21 covers patching, vulnerability and supply-chain management. EOL software is effectively non-compliant where it creates risk.
DORA
Treats EOL software as a resilience flaw for financial ICT assets. NES sustains a documented patch-management program.
Cyber Resilience Act
Governs software lifecycle security. NES keeps the runtime handled effectively during the support period.
NIST CSF 2.0
NIST CSF control PR.PS-02 requires organizations to actively maintain or remove vulnerable software based on risk. NES enables compliance without forced upgrade or removal.
FedRAMP
Continuous monitoring expects flaw remediation on a defined cadence. A patched, vendor-backed runtime keeps EOL Node.js inside the boundary.
Commercial Contracts
Many organizations are contractually prohibited from shipping unsupported software. NES provides the vendor-backed answer your own policies require.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022
Vulnerability Management and Configuration Management controls require identifying technical vulnerabilities and keeping software within secure standards. NES restores control posture with patch availability for EOL software.
NIST SP 800-171
Mandatory for DoD contractors and suppliers handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It requires identifying, reporting, and correcting system flaws, including vulnerabilities. NES provides that for EOL software.
CIS Controls
Control 7 (Continuous Vulnerability Management) and Control 2 (Software Asset Inventory) treat software that no longer receives security updates as inherently vulnerable. NES keeps EOL runtimes patched and auditable.
