Question 1

Accepted Answer

Electron 36 has an EOL Risk Score™ of 45 out of 100, placing it in the Medium risk band. The score is calculated from four factors: EOL Recency (35/40), Attack Surface (10/30), CISA KEV Exposure (0/20), and Extended Support Availability (0/10).

Question 2

Is Electron 36 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Electron 36 is no longer supported — it has passed its end of life date (October 27, 2025). No further security patches will be issued. Upgrade to a supported version or obtain extended lifecycle support.

Question 3

When does Electron 36 reach end of life?

Accepted Answer

Electron 36 reached (or will reach) end of life on October 27, 2025. After this date, no security patches or bug fixes are issued by the vendor.

Question 4

What are the security risks of running Electron 36 after end of life?

Accepted Answer

After end of life, the vendor's standard support for Electron 36 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.
