What does MySQL 9.7 end of life mean?

When MySQL 9.7 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 MySQL 9.7 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.

Migrate to MySQL 9.7 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does MySQL 9.7 reach end of life?
MySQL 9.7 reached end of life on April 21, 2034. That is 2836 days remaining.
Is MySQL 9.7 still supported?
Yes, MySQL 9.7 is currently supported. The EOL date is April 21, 2034.
What should I upgrade to from MySQL 9.7?
The recommended upgrade from MySQL 9.7 is MySQL 9.7 — the latest actively supported version. Check the MySQL full timeline for all supported versions.
What are the security risks of running MySQL 9.7 past EOL?
When MySQL 9.7 reaches end of life, the maintainers stop issuing security patches. Any CVEs disclosed after the EOL date accumulate with no remediation path. Most vulnerability scanners do not flag this — it is the CVE blind spot. Organizations running EOL MySQL should migrate immediately or implement compensating controls.
Does MySQL track end-of-life by point release (e.g. MySQL 9.7.1, MySQL 9.7.2)?
No — MySQL end-of-life dates apply to the entire 9.7.x release series, not individual point releases. A point release like MySQL 9.7.1 or MySQL 9.7.2 shares the same EOL date as MySQL 9.7. Security patches stop for the entire 9.7.x line on that date, regardless of which patch version you are running. Check the table above for EOL dates by major version series.
