Security End of Life (SEoL) Plugin Conversions 2024 Q4
Change
In accordance with the SEoL framework published in April 2023, we are updating and/or deprecating the legacy “Unsupported <x>” plugins to conform to the new plugin specification. Only the Unsupported plugins listed in the “Deprecated Plugin” table below have been deprecated and replaced with SEoL plugins - all other plugins that detect Unsupported software remain in service.
Impact
Customers should anticipate the legacy “Unsupported” plugins to be deprecated and/or converted to their corresponding SEoL plugins. This may result in new findings and a more detailed picture of the exposure landscape associated with products in the SEoL state.
Customer-created dashboards or reports that use the now-deprecated “Unsupported” plugins should be migrated to use the new SEoL plugins listed below.
For additional details please see the SEoL FAQ knowledge base article from June 2023. This FAQ covers questions about SEoL plugin severity ratings, considerations for extended vendor support agreements, and future product coverage.

Hi @Ian Parker
Thanks for the update. Do you have any estimates on when the SEoL programme is likely to complete?
At the moment, I'm having to run 2 dashboard components using essentially the same query but one looks for Plugin Name Contains "SEoL" while the other is based around "Unsupported" and then manually combine them.
Moving this programme to completed will certainly simplify my reporting to Snr Mgmt and as we all know, Snr Mgmt like simple :)
Regards Ricky
