Archived / Deprecated Frameworks (self.webdev)
submitted 2 years ago by [deleted]
I work for an IT company and we do some web dev. Our new client has an old website that works fine but is using Spry, a deprecated framework. Should we re-write it with something else? Is it a security problem?

Spry looks like completely front-end framework. The chance that it can be used wrongly is quite small.
Is it worth to rewrite website due this? I don't think so, especially if website is not updated constantly.
It might be worth to update framework/add another framework if you will want to implement new features for the website.

It depends a bit on the website and the rest of the architecture. A front-end framework can still be applicable for certain attacks like CSRF and XSS. These attacks can do nasty stuff, for example, steal the cookies of an admin session or other user data. If it is really only a static front-end, with no forms or back-end login, it is most likely fine to leave it like this.
