Is TYPO3 12 still safe to use?
TYPO3 12 left standard support on 30 Apr 2026. It still receives security updates under extended support until 30 Apr 2029 — 938 days from now — but only if you are enrolled. Without it, no fixes reach you.
Can I still download TYPO3 12?
Yes — the final release (12.4.49) generally remains available from vendor archives and OS package mirrors, but installing it means running software with known, unpatched vulnerabilities.
What should I upgrade TYPO3 12 to?
Upgrade to TYPO3 14, the newest actively supported branch (supported until 30 Jun 2029).
