What do the badges show for Node.js?

ReleaseRun badges display real-time version freshness, end-of-life status, CVE vulnerability counts, and an overall health score for Node.js releases.

How do I embed a Node.js badge in my README?

Use the embed builder above to select your version and badge type, then copy the generated Markdown or HTML snippet into your README.

How often is Node.js badge data updated?

Badge data refreshes every 6 hours from endoflife.date and NIST NVD. Badges are cached for 5 minutes at the CDN edge.

Why Use Node.js Health Badges?

Node.js has one of the most confusing release schedules in the ecosystem. Even-numbered releases get LTS. Odd numbers don’t. Support windows overlap. Security patches land on multiple branches simultaneously. A health badge cuts through the noise.

Our badges show three things Shields.io can’t: CVE counts per version, EOL countdowns, and a composite health grade that tells you whether a specific Node.js version is safe to run in production right now.

Who Should Use These

npm package maintainers: Show which Node.js versions your package supports and their health status. Your users running Node 18 will see the LTS timeline reflected in the badge.
Framework authors: Pin minimum supported versions with visual proof. When Node 18 hits EOL, the badge automatically signals it.
Platform teams: Track Node.js versions across microservices. Health badges in your service catalog make version debt visible.

Security Overview

CVE vulnerability data is sourced from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and refreshed every 6 hours.

Check specific version CVEs using the badge builder above or visit our Node.js hub page for detailed security analysis.

Upgrade Guidance

Running an older version of Node.js? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:

Check breaking changes in release notes
Review EOL dates for your current version
Test in staging before production rollout
Consider LTS versions for stability

See the official Node.js documentation for detailed upgrade instructions.
