Node.js 14 reached end of life on April 30, 2023, roughly 2 years ago. Since then, no security patches have been issued. If you are still running Node.js 14, you should treat upgrading as a high-priority item. Any CVEs discovered against this version will not be fixed upstream.
The recommended upgrade path is to Node.js 24 LTS. Since Node.js 14 is 4 major versions behind, consider a staged upgrade through intermediate versions to catch breaking changes incrementally rather than all at once. Review the release notes for each intervening major version to identify API changes, deprecated features, and removed functionality that may affect your codebase.
