Use of Deprecated Component

Description

The application is using a deprecated component. New vulnerabilities will not be fixed and hackers might succeed in exploiting this weakness.

Recommendation

To mitigate the risk associated with deprecated components, consider the steps:

  1. Identify the deprecated component: Begin by identifying the specific deprecated component being used in your application. This could be a library, framework, language feature, or any other software component.
  2. Find an alternative for the deprecated component or a fork of it that is still maintained.
  3. Consider paid services that support EoL projects like HeroDevs
