Hi @akhileshbhatia as per our current EOL policies, at this point, a version compatible with ES 8.18.7 would not be released. Any Search Guard Support customers can reach out to our Support team for more details on these releases and/or special requests. Also, more recent SG versions, like those compatible with 8.19.x and 9.0.x, have already been released and can be found in the version matrix page: [https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/search-guard-versions](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/search-guard-versions) ---
