What does PostgreSQL 15 end of life mean?

When PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 15 past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.

Migrate to PostgreSQL 18 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does PostgreSQL 15 reach end of life?
PostgreSQL 15 reached end of life on November 11, 2027. That is 459 days remaining.
Is PostgreSQL 15 still supported?
Yes, PostgreSQL 15 is currently supported. The EOL date is November 11, 2027.
What should I upgrade to from PostgreSQL 15?
The recommended upgrade from PostgreSQL 15 is PostgreSQL 18 — the latest actively supported version. Check the PostgreSQL full timeline for all supported versions.
What are the security risks of running PostgreSQL 15 past EOL?
When PostgreSQL 15 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 PostgreSQL should migrate immediately or implement compensating controls.
Does PostgreSQL track end-of-life by point release (e.g. PostgreSQL 18.1, PostgreSQL 18.2)?
No — PostgreSQL end-of-life dates apply to the entire 18.x release series, not individual point releases. A point release like PostgreSQL 18.1 or PostgreSQL 18.2 shares the same EOL date as PostgreSQL 18. Security patches stop for the entire 18.x line on that date, regardless of which patch version you are running. Check the table above for EOL dates by major version series.
