Depending on the target and the severity of the vulnerability the vendor might consider fixing the vulnerability even if EOL.
If the target is an IOT device the vulnerability will likely be mass exploited to create a botnet.
The U.S. government recently ‘took control’ of a botnet run by Chinese government hackers made of 260,000 Internet of Things devices... (Source: https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/18/u-s-government-took-contro...)

Martin Vigo's article discusses the security vulnerabilities in password reset options for various websites and how these can lead to the exposure of personal phone numbers. Vigo highlights that during a password reset process, websites often partially reveal the user's phone number. This partial display varies across websites; some show the last four digits, others the first, and so on. By initiating password resets across different sites, one can potentially piece together most of the digits of a phone number just from an email address.
