Spring Boot EOL Support Doesn't Cover What You Think It Does

Sep 24, 2026

When Spring Boot goes end of life, most teams assume their LTS coverage has them protected. It doesn't — at least not the way they think. The real risk isn't in the Spring Boot or Spring Framework version on the label. It's in the 40+ libraries the Bill of Materials has quietly pinned underneath it, frozen at EOL while CVE research keeps moving.

In this episode of Inside the Stack, we walk through what actually happens inside a Spring Boot BOM at end of life, pull up real CVEs in Spring Data MongoDB and Spring Cloud Gateway, and show exactly why standard LTS coverage falls short — and what it needs to explicitly include to actually match your dependency tree.
