Security Working Group

Charter

The Security Working Group manages all aspects and processes linked to Express.js security, and is responsible for managing incoming security reports, and responsible also to prepare patches or releases. The nature of this task is sensitive, so only the Security triage team, Repo Captains and TC members will be involved on it.

Responsibilities include

• Define the Security triage role
• Define and maintain security policies and procedures for the project and the packages in scope
• Provide guidance to the ecosystem on how to build more secure middleware
• Review and recommend processes for handling of security reports.
• Promote improvement of security practices within the Express.js ecosystem (For example: OSSF Scorecard, threat model, etc..)
• Recommend security improvements for the project and the packages in scope
• Support the TC team on security triage as needed
• Support initiatives from the OpenJS Foundation Security Collab Space.
• Support initiatives from the OpenSSF Best Practices for Open Source Developers Working Group.
