.NET 10 End of Life Date
.NET 10 end-of-life date, support status, and CVE risk. Data reconciled from official vendor documentation and endoflife.date at every build; the source of each date is on the product page.
.NET 10 was released on November 11, 2025 and support is scheduled to end on November 14, 2028 — a planned supported lifespan of 3 years, in line with the 3 years median for .NET LTS releases. It is a long-term support (LTS) release, so it carries a longer patch window than the interim releases around it. Its most recent patch is 10.0.12, published September 8, 2026.
What does .NET 10 end of life mean?
When .NET 10 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 .NET 10 past its EOL date creates a growing attack surface that a clean scan result does not rule out.
Migrate to .NET 10 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
