The Node.js security disclosure policy has diverged between the website and github: - https://nodejs.org/en/security/ - https://github.com/nodejs/node/security/policy The website is more recent and accurate, so sync the content from: - https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/blob/master/locale/en/security.md PR-URL: #29682 Reviewed-By: James M Snell <jasnell@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Matteo Collina <matteo.collina@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Luigi Pinca <luigipinca@gmail.com>

| # Security | ||
|
|
||
| If you find a security vulnerability in Node.js, please report it to | ||
| security@nodejs.org. Please withhold public disclosure until after the security | ||
| team has addressed the vulnerability. | ||
| ## Reporting a Bug in Node.js | ||
|
|
||
| The security team will acknowledge your email within 24 hours. You will receive | ||
| a more detailed response within 48 hours. | ||
| Report security bugs in Node.js via [HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/nodejs). | ||
|
|
||
| There are no hard and fast rules to determine if a bug is worth reporting as a | ||
| security issue. Here are some examples of past issues and what the Security | ||
| Response Team thinks of them. When in doubt, please do send us a report | ||
| nonetheless. | ||
| Your report will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you’ll receive a more | ||
| detailed response to your report within 48 hours indicating the next steps in | ||
| handling your submission. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Public disclosure preferred | ||
| After the initial reply to your report, the security team will endeavor to keep | ||
| you informed of the progress being made towards a fix and full announcement, | ||
| and may ask for additional information or guidance surrounding the reported | ||
| issue. These updates will be sent at least every five days; in practice, this | ||
| is more likely to be every 24-48 hours. | ||
|
|
||
| * [#14519](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/14519): _Internal domain | ||
| function can be used to cause segfaults_. Requires the ability to execute | ||
| arbitrary JavaScript code. That is already the highest level of privilege | ||
| possible. | ||
| ### Node.js Bug Bounty Program | ||
|
|
||
| ## Private disclosure preferred | ||
| The Node.js project engages in an official bug bounty program for security | ||
| researchers and responsible public disclosures. The program is managed through | ||
| the HackerOne platform. See <https://hackerone.com/nodejs> for further details. | ||
|
|
||
| * [CVE-2016-7099](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/september-2016-security-releases/): | ||
| _Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation check_. This was a high-severity | ||
| defect. It caused Node.js TLS clients to accept invalid wildcard certificates. | ||
| ## Reporting a Bug in a third party module | ||
|
|
||
| * [#5507](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/5507): _Fix a defect that makes | ||
| the CacheBleed Attack possible_. Many, though not all, OpenSSL vulnerabilities | ||
| in the TLS/SSL protocols also affect Node.js. | ||
| Security bugs in third party modules should be reported to their respective | ||
| maintainers and should also be coordinated through the Node Ecosystem Security | ||
| Team via [HackerOne](https://hackerone.com/nodejs-ecosystem). | ||
|
|
||
| * [CVE-2016-2216](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/february-2016-security-releases/): | ||
| _Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow | ||
| response splitting_. This was a remotely-exploitable defect in the Node.js | ||
| HTTP implementation. | ||
| Details regarding this process can be found in the | ||
| [Security Working Group repository](https://github.com/nodejs/security-wg/blob/master/processes/third_party_vuln_process.md). | ||
|
|
||
| When in doubt, please do send us a report. | ||
| Thank you for improving the security of Node.js and its ecosystem. Your efforts | ||
| and responsible disclosure are greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Disclosure Policy | ||
|
|
||
| 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. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Receiving Security Updates | ||
|
|
||
| Security notifications will be distributed via the following methods. | ||
|
|
||
| * <https://groups.google.com/group/nodejs-sec> | ||
| * <https://nodejs.org/en/blog/> | ||
|
|
||
| ## Comments on this Policy | ||
|
|
||
| If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit a | ||
| [pull request](https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org) or | ||
| [file an issue](https://github.com/nodejs/security-wg/issues/new) to discuss. |
