What Does Endless Lifecycle Support Include?

Rapid CVE Response

Rapid SLA-backed security patches for as long as you need

Complete Coverage

Security fixes for both direct and transitive dependencies AT NO EXTRA COST

Preserved Compatibility

Extensively tested updates that work flawlessly with your existing code

Seamless Integration

Plug-and-play integration with your workflows and CI/CD pipelines

Secure Distribution

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?

We onboard new projects and enable 24/7 automated CVE tracking – monitoring the NVD, vendor, and GitHub security advisories, and other sources.

Once CVEs are detected, we backport upstream fixes using algorithmic and AI-assisted automation, with expert validation to ensure accuracy.

Patches are compiled in a binary format, extensively tested (for integrity, functionality, and regression), signed, and deployed to ELS repositories.

Your package managers, build tools, or orchestrators check for updates, then automatically pull and install them.
