Question 2

Is Apache Shiro 2 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Apache Shiro 2 is no longer supported — it has passed its end of life date (June 29, 2026). No further security patches will be issued. Upgrade to a supported version or obtain extended lifecycle support.

Question 3

When does Apache Shiro 2 reach end of life?

Accepted Answer

Apache Shiro 2 reached (or will reach) end of life on June 29, 2026. After this date, no security patches or bug fixes are issued by the vendor.

Question 4

What are the security risks of running Apache Shiro 2 after end of life?

Accepted Answer

After end of life, the vendor's standard support for Apache Shiro 2 ends, so newly discovered vulnerabilities may never be fixed unless a paid extended support option covers that version. Auditors ask about it too: PCI DSS requirement 12.3.4, for example, calls for a yearly review of vendor end-of-life announcements with a remediation plan approved by senior management.
