What does React 15 end of life mean?

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

Migrate to React 19 or implement compensating controls — network segmentation, enhanced monitoring, restricted access — while migration is underway.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does React 15 reach end of life?
React 15 has no announced end-of-life date yet — it is currently supported, with EOL to be determined.
Is React 15 still supported?
Yes, React 15 is currently supported. The EOL date is TBD.
What should I upgrade to from React 15?
The recommended upgrade from React 15 is React 19 — the latest actively supported version. Check the React full timeline for all supported versions.
What are the security risks of running React 15 past EOL?
When React 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 React should migrate immediately or implement compensating controls.
Does React track end-of-life by point release (e.g. React 19.1, React 19.2)?
No — React end-of-life dates apply to the entire 19.x release series, not individual point releases. A point release like React 19.1 or React 19.2 shares the same EOL date as React 19. Security patches stop for the entire 19.x line on that date, regardless of which patch version you are running. Check the table above for EOL dates by major version series.
