As of its last release, Boa has the following limitations:
- No access control features (HTTP Basic access authentication, etc.)
- No chroot option (planned)
- No Server Side Includes (deemed incompatible with server performance goals)
- No SSL support although there are some patches against 0.94.13 that introduce SSL support
As of 2022 Boa is still used in many embedded applications, and its known vulnerabilities have been actively exploited.[2]
