CKEditor 4.x reached end-of-life (EOL) in June 2023, creating a significant challenge for Drupal 7 users: their trusted WYSIWYG editor now has known vulnerabilities that are no longer patched in the open-source community version. Upgrading to v5 is essential for maintaining security, but the only option has been paid support from CKSource.

Drupal 7 End-of-Life (EOL):

If you’ve ever worked with software, or in software development, you’ve experienced the potential crisis that comes with an End of Life (EOL) announcement. Decisions must be made - do you upgrade, when, how, to what version, do you change software entirely, how much will all of these changes cost?

As the end of life (EOL) for Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 get closer, many long-time users of these platforms are concerned about whether they’ll be ready or able to upgrade their systems. While upgrading from Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 should be the easiest major Drupal upgrade ever, the upgrade from Drupal 7 remains a hard sticking point for many users and companies.
