We are currently running Directus 11.17.4 .

Directus 11.17.4 currently ships with Node.js 22.22.2.

Node.js October 2026 security releases indicate fixes in Node.js 22.23.4.

Is a maintenance release or image rebuild planned for the Directus 11.x branch?

Hey @joancarlesbadia

Directus does not maintain previous releases, all security patching and features are released on latest. The Node patch has been applied and released on 12.5.1:

> **[Releases · directus/directus](https://github.com/directus/directus/releases)**
>
> The flexible backend for all your projects 🐰 Turn your DB into a headless CMS, admin panels, or apps with a custom UI, instant APIs, auth & more. - directus/directus

> **[Releases](https://directus.com/docs/releases)**
>
> Releases are how we roll out new features, updates, and fixes to Directus.

Hope this helps.
