Endnotes don't export to ePub
EPUB Export Endnotes with Hyperlinks
Version: InDesign CC 2019 – 14.0.3
Steps to Reproduce:
Use the endnote feature and in one of the endnotes (preferably after the first one), add a hyperlink.
Export the InDesign document to EPUB
Expected Result: All endnote references are hyperlinked and the numbers for each endnote are backlinked back to the reference.
Actual Result:
Endnote number is missing for all endnotes after the hyperlink that was added to the endnote and no linking occurs after the manual hyperlink. Indesign crashes.

I can confirm that this bug still exists. I was about to write new thread about these problems that still exist in the latest InDesign version, 18.1. The whole endnote becomes a hyperlink in the EPUB and all the other hyperlinks to websites in the endnote disappear.
Another thing, when dealing with footnotes. I'm able to edit the number that becomes the link. For example "1." or "[1]" etc. With endnotes this is not possible so hopefully this is fixed as well. Endnotes should work the same way as footnotes.

Even with InD 2023 it's still an issue 😩

I'm experiencing similar problem trying to export a book with endnotes and hyperlinks contained even with InD 2020. It's not exporting the endnotes backlinks properly and with active hyperlinks it crashes down during the export. So it's still an isuue it seems… 😟
