Hi!

Using older/EOL components listed by the AWS CLI (such as older SQLite, OpenLDAP, libgcrypt, GnuPG, etc.) does not by itself mean your AWS CLI installation is insecure or unsupported.

Key points

1. AWS CLI v2 bundles dependencies
   The CLI ships its own Python and dependencies that it was tested with. That means the listed versions may appear “EOL” according to external versioning, but they are the ones that AWS tested and bundled for stability.

2. EOL doesn’t mean AWS CLI is unsupported
   AWS CLI release policy and support is based on the CLI version (e.g., v2.x), not on the individual bundled dependency versions shown. You should continue using official AWS CLI releases from AWS.
   Latest CLI versions are still actively maintained:

aws --version

Keep AWS CLI up to date
If you want the newest features and dependency refreshes, update to the newest AWS CLI v2 release:

macOS / Linux:
curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install --update

Windows:
Download the latest MSI from official docs.

If specific dependency concerns exist
Open a feature request/bug in the AWS CLI repository pointing out the specific package version concern — the AWS team tracks dependency updates.
