Raspberry Pi 1 Model A End of Life Date
Raspberry Pi 1 Model A end-of-life date, support status, and CVE risk. Data from endoflife.date and official vendor documentation.
Raspberry Pi 1-a was released on February 4, 2013 and support ended on November 10, 2014 — a supported lifespan of 1 year and 9 months, shorter than the 11 years and 9 months median for Raspberry Pi releases. It has been without security patches for 11 years and 9 months. 19 newer Raspberry Pi releases have shipped since.

What does Raspberry Pi 1 Model A end of life mean?
When Raspberry Pi 1 Model A 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 Raspberry Pi 1 Model A past its EOL date creates a permanently growing attack surface that standard security tooling will not surface.
Migrate to Raspberry Pi 500+ or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.
