Secure Every Layer of Your OSS
Dependency Tree for the Long Run
End-of-life risk rarely lives in your top-level packages. It hides in the transitive
dependencies woven throughout your open-source stack.
When one of those libraries becomes vulnerable, every downstream component
must be rebuilt and validated.
TuxCare automates this entire process – tracking vulnerable EOL
libraries, applying security fixes, and rebuilding dependent components
– ensuring your full dependency chain stays secure and stable.
How Does It Work?
1
We onboard new projects and enable 24/7 automated CVE tracking – monitoring the NVD, vendor, and GitHub security advisories, and other sources.
2
Once CVEs are detected, we backport upstream fixes using algorithmic and AI-assisted automation, with expert validation to ensure accuracy.
3
Patches are compiled in a binary format, extensively tested (for integrity, functionality, and regression), signed, and deployed to ELS repositories.
4
Your package managers, build tools, or orchestrators check for updates, then automatically pull and install them.
Trusted Software Supply Chain
With Endless Lifecycle Support, every release is transparent,
secure, and built to industry standards you can trust.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
Gain complete visibility into the components in each patched release so you always know exactly what is running in your environment.
Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) Context
See which vulnerabilities in your SBOM have already been remediated, allowing you to focus attention where action is still required.
SLSA Level 3 Compliance*
Get packages that meet SLSA Level 3 requirements, giving you verifiable assurance of secure sourcing, building, and integrity. * Coming soon

Frequently Asked Questions
LTS releases get about three years of security support; non-LTS releases get roughly 16 months. In practice: Django 3.2's extended support ended in April 2024, 5.0 in April 2025, 5.1 in December 2025, and 4.2 LTS in April 2026. ELS for Django continues patching releases past those dates.
Django 3.2.25, 4.0, 4.2, 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.1, 5.1.4, and 5.1.9. Other versions are available on request.
Yes. TuxCare backports fixes into your current version, which avoids the real cost of a Django upgrade: clearing deprecation warnings, migrating removed APIs, and waiting on every third-party app in INSTALLED_APPS to declare support for the new release.
With pip. Point index-url at TuxCare's els_python repository to source all packages from ELS, or add it as an extra-index-url and pin the patched build — for example django==3.2.25.post1+tuxcare. Existing requirements.txt and deployment workflows carry over unchanged.
No. Fixes are backported rather than forward-ported, so the ORM, middleware, template engine, and management commands behave identically. Packages are tested for integrity and regressions before publication.
Django's own dependencies such as asgiref and sqlparse are covered, along with transitive dependencies at no extra cost. The Python interpreter is a separate product — ELS for Python covers 2.7 and 3.3 through 3.13 — and other third-party apps can be added to scope on request.
