Are the squash just rotting on the ends? If so, this would be attributed to blossom end rot and this article can help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/squash/squash-blossom-end-rot-causes-and-treatment.htm ^[1]

If the entire vine and squash are rotting, this may be an issue with vine borers. This article will help:
