Question 2

Is Next.js 15 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Next.js 15 is currently supported. End of life is scheduled for January 31, 2027. Plan your migration before that date to avoid security risk.

Question 3

When does Next.js 15 reach end of life?

Accepted Answer

Next.js 15 reached (or will reach) end of life on January 31, 2027. After this date, no security patches or bug fixes are issued by the vendor.

Question 4

What are the security risks of running Next.js 15 after end of life?

Accepted Answer

After end of life, the vendor's standard support for Next.js 15 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.
