Adobe Commerce recently announced a new date for Magento 2.3.x End of Support to provide merchants with more time to upgrade to 2.4.4 or higher.
According to the latest release by Adobe “We are shifting the End of Support (EOS) date for our 2.3 line to September 8, 2022. This will give merchants additional time to upgrade. We encourage you to prepare for this release by joining our beta program and working with your merchants to upgrade as soon as possible. Customers who stay current with the latest versions are best protected against security vulnerabilities, remain PCI compliant, and gain access to new features that enable business growth. “
New Security Patches for 2.3.7 and 2.4.3
Adobe Commerce will release two security patch releases in August – 2.3.7-p4 and 2.4.3-p3 to help merchants stay secure and PCI compliant while they upgrade to 2.4.4.
Adobe will also be providing new paid extended support options for customers on 2.3.7 and 2.4.0-2.4.3 to give them more time to upgrade to 2.4 or higher. It will ensure that merchants continue to receive security updates for the next year of the end of support of these versions.
