Lifecycle detail
Apache Spark 1.0 was released on May 26, 2014 and support ended on September 3, 2014 — a supported lifespan of 3 months, shorter than the 1 year and 6 months median for Apache Spark releases. It was not an LTS release; Apache Spark reserves longer patch windows for its LTS versions. The last patch it will ever receive is 1.0.2, published July 25, 2014 — 40 days before support ended. It has been without security patches for 12 years and 1 month. 19 newer Apache Spark releases have shipped since.

What does Apache Spark 1.0 end of life mean?
When Apache Spark 1.0 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: A CVE-based scan does not show the ongoing accumulation of unpatched vulnerabilities in EOL software versions. Some scanners flag unsupported versions of common products, but coverage varies, and none of them give you the date in advance. Running Apache Spark 1.0 past its EOL date creates a growing attack surface that a clean scan result does not rule out.
Migrate to Apache Spark 4.2 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.

Apache Spark full timeline for all supported versions.
What are the security risks of running Apache Spark 1.0 past EOL?
When Apache Spark 1.0 reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches. Any CVEs disclosed after the EOL date accumulate with no vendor fix. A CVE-based scan does not show this — it is the CVE blind spot; some scanners flag unsupported versions of common products, but coverage varies and none give the date in advance. Organizations running EOL Apache Spark should migrate immediately or implement compensating controls.
