Each CakePHP release receives bug fixes and security fixes for a fixed period of time.
Each major release (4.x, 5.x, etc) of CakePHP will receive bugfixes for 12 months after the next major release has been released. Additionally, security fixes will be provided for 18 months after the release of the following major release.
Each minor release (4.4.x, 4.5.x, etc) of CakePHP will receive bugfixes until the release of the next minor release. Additionally, security fixes will be provided for the last two minor releases in each major release.
