The Apache APISIX security advisory published on June 19, 2026 states that 3.16.1 is the fixed version for four CVEs (CVE-2026-39998, CVE-2026-39999, CVE-2026-44046, CVE-2026-44087), and explicitly recommends users who "cannot immediately upgrade to 3.17.0" to "at least upgrade to 3.16.1."

However, upon verification:

• GitHub Releases shows 3.16.0 as the latest version
• Docker Hub has no 3.16.1 tag
• Official download channels do not provide version 3.16.1

Requests

1. What is the concrete release timeline for 3.16.1? Is there a published date or ETA?
2. Why was the advisory published before the release? Is this expected process, or is there a release pipeline blockage?

Environment

• APISIX version (run apisix version):
• Operating system (run uname -a):
• OpenResty / Nginx version (run openresty -V or nginx -V):
• etcd version, if relevant (run curl http://127.0.0.1:9090/v1/server_info):
