The Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) of the Center for Internet Security has a released the October 2019 list of of software that is currently in or nearing end of support.
When software has reached end of support (EoS), it means the developers will no longer release fixes for any bugs that are found in the software. This includes fixes for security vulnerabilities that may be discovered.
As you can imagine, using outdated software that no longer receives security fixes is a risk as it could allow attackers to exploit vulnerabilities to steal data, execute commands, or install malware on the computer.
For this reason, it is suggested that users always upgrade EoS software to the latest version so that they continue to receive security updates.
