    🚨 TinyMCE 6 is end-of-life — and unpatched XSS vulnerabilities are already in play. Teams still running older TinyMCE 6 versions are exposed to known XSS vulnerabilities like CVE-2024-29203 and CVE-2024-29881, and with v6 now EOL, no further patches will be issued for future discoveries. For teams still running TinyMCE 6, that creates a tough choice: migrate immediately… or operate with known exposure. There’s a third option. HeroDevs provides Never-Ending Support for TinyMCE 6, offering a secure, drop-in replacement that patches known vulnerabilities without requiring a migration to v7 or v8. With HeroDevs NES, you get: ✔️ Ongoing CVE patches delivered as secure drop-in replacements ✔️ No license change — stay on the MIT-licensed v6 codebase ✔️ No migration burden — keep your existing config, plugins, and integrations ✔️ Compliance-ready security with VEX statements and audit documentation ✔️ Continued updates as new vulnerabilities are discovered NES is built for teams that need time to migrate — or that can’t migrate yet — without accepting ongoing risk. Because running EOL software shouldn’t mean running vulnerable software. #OpenSource #AppSec #EOL #TinyMCE #SoftwareSecurity #DevSecOps #HeroDevs

    Post summary

    The post alerts teams running EOL TinyMCE 6 to active XSS exploitation and promotes HeroDevs NES as a patch‑based mitigation, highlighting ongoing CVE patches without needing migration.
