|
Security bugs in third party modules should be reported to their respective
|
2019-12-02 07:12:44 +01:00
|
|
|
|
maintainers and should also be coordinated through the Node.js Ecosystem
|
|
|
|
|
Security Team via [HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/nodejs-ecosystem).

## Disclosure policy
|
2019-09-24 01:03:26 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the security disclosure policy for Node.js
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The security report is received and is assigned a primary handler. This
|
|
|
|
|
person will coordinate the fix and release process. The problem is confirmed
|
|
|
|
|
and a list of all affected versions is determined. Code is audited to find
|
|
|
|
|
any potential similar problems. Fixes are prepared for all releases which are
|
|
|
|
|
still under maintenance. These fixes are not committed to the public
|
|
|
|
|
repository but rather held locally pending the announcement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A suggested embargo date for this vulnerability is chosen and a CVE (Common
|
|
|
|
|
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®)) is requested for the vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On the embargo date, the Node.js security mailing list is sent a copy of the
|
|
|
|
|
announcement. The changes are pushed to the public repository and new builds
|
|
|
|
|
are deployed to nodejs.org. Within 6 hours of the mailing list being
|
|
|
|
|
notified, a copy of the advisory will be published on the Node.js blog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Typically the embargo date will be set 72 hours from the time the CVE is
|
|
|
|
|
issued. However, this may vary depending on the severity of the bug or
|
|
|
|
|
difficulty in applying a fix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* This process can take some time, especially when coordination is required
|
|
|
|
|
with maintainers of other projects. Every effort will be made to handle the
|
|
|
|
|
bug in as timely a manner as possible; however, it’s important that we follow
|
|
|
|
|
the release process above to ensure that the disclosure is handled in a
|
|
|
|
|
consistent manner.
