You asked in the other issue and I commented there already. #11396 (comment)

The project scans regularly for vulnerabilities and patches the controller regularly. Look up the history of patches and releases by doing searches in PRs.

@longwuyuan thanks for replying so quick.

so you are telling that this version (connected to ingress-ngixn pod and ran below command)

nginx-public-ingress-nginx-controller-fd5d4979c-kstp9:/etc/nginx$ nginx -version
nginx version: nginx/1.25.3

is not the same nginx version that's mentioned here https://nginx.org/en/CHANGES (v1.25.3) which is EOL but more of recompiled version with latest security patches

Sorry that is quite confusing for me.

We are beholden to the openrusty community to upgrade the nginx version of the controller due to the amount of functionality the ingress-nginx controller relays on those lua and openrusty plugins.

Looks like the lua stream module is not compatible with 1.25.5
