Running an end-of-life Apache NiFi version?
OSSeva keeps end-of-life Apache NiFi patched with signed builds and backported CVE fixes, documents it for your auditor, and can run it for you, so the upgrade happens on your schedule rather than the project’s.
Apache NiFi extended supportApache NiFi end of life: common questions
Is NiFi 1.x end of life?
Yes. The NiFi download page gives 8 December 2024 as the end of support for NiFi 1.28.1, the last 1.x release. The project may consider critical bug fixes for essential framework features on an exceptional basis, but those exclude dependency upgrades, and the NiFi team strongly encourages 1.x users to upgrade to NiFi 2.
Why can't NiFi 1.x dependencies be upgraded?
The NiFi project says several fundamental dependencies in NiFi 1 cannot be upgraded: Jetty 9.4, Spring Framework 5.3 and AngularJS 1.8. Spring Framework 5.3, for one, lost open source support in August 2024, so flaws found in these libraries stay in NiFi 1.x builds. That is a large part of why the project urges the move to NiFi 2.
Which NiFi version should I run?
The latest NiFi 2 release. The download page offers only the newest 2.x build and moves earlier releases to the archives, and the NiFi team strongly encourages users still on version 1 to upgrade to NiFi 2. The table above shows each 2.x minor and when it was superseded.
What is the latest Apache NiFi version?
2.12.0, released 13 Sept 2026, on the 2.12 line.
Which Apache NiFi versions are still supported?
2.12. Every other line has reached end of life, per the dates in the table above.
Can I get security patches for an end-of-life Apache NiFi version?
Yes. OSSeva ships signed builds with backported CVE fixes for Apache NiFi 2.11, 2.10, 2.9, 2.8, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.0, 1.28, 1.26, 1.23 and 1.19 after upstream support ends, on the Patch, Assure and Operate tiers, so you can stay on the version you run while you plan the upgrade.
