Lifecycle detail
Apache APISIX 2.15 was released on July 22, 2022 and support ended on March 3, 2023 — a supported lifespan of 7 months, in line with the 7 months median for Apache APISIX LTS releases. It was a long-term support (LTS) release, so it received a longer patch window than the interim releases around it. The last patch it will ever receive is 2.15.3, published March 7, 2023 — 4 days after the published end-of-life date. It has been without security patches for 3 years and 5 months. 16 newer Apache APISIX releases have shipped since.

What does Apache APISIX 2.15 end of life mean?
When Apache APISIX 2.15 reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches for this version. CVEs discovered after the EOL date are publicly disclosed on the National Vulnerability Database with no patch available. Exploit code frequently appears on GitHub within days of disclosure.
The CVE blind spot: Most vulnerability scanners check for known CVEs but do not flag the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions. Running Apache APISIX 2.15 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to Apache APISIX 3.17 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
