Jenkins 2.504 End of Life Date
Jenkins 2.504 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.
Jenkins 2.504 was released on March 31, 2025 and support ended on July 23, 2025 — a supported lifespan of 4 months, in line with the 4 months median for Jenkins 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 2.504.3, published June 25, 2025 — 28 days before support ended. It has been without security patches for 1 year and 2 months. 4 newer Jenkins releases have shipped since.

What does Jenkins 2.504 end of life mean?
When Jenkins 2.504 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 Jenkins 2.504 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to Jenkins 2.568 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
