## Reporting a Bug
|
|
|
|
The Express team and community take all security bugs in Express seriously.
|
|
Thank you for improving the security of Express. We appreciate your efforts and
|
|
responsible disclosure and will make every effort to acknowledge your
|
|
contributions.
|
|
|
|
Report security bugs by emailing `express-security@lists.openjsf.org`.
|
|
|
|
To ensure the timely response to your report, please ensure that the entirety
|
|
of the report is contained within the email body and not solely behind a web
|
|
link or an attachment.
|
|
|
|
The lead maintainer will acknowledge your email within 48 hours, and will send a
|
|
more detailed response within 48 hours indicating the next steps in handling
|
|
your report. After the initial reply to your report, the security team will
|
|
endeavor to keep you informed of the progress towards a fix and full
|
|
announcement, and may ask for additional information or guidance.
|
|
|
|
Report security bugs in third-party modules to the person or team maintaining
|
|
the module.
|
|
|
|
## Pre-release Versions
|
|
|
|
Alpha and Beta releases are unstable and **not suitable for production use**.
|
|
Vulnerabilities found in pre-releases should be reported according to the [Reporting a Bug](#reporting-a-bug) section.
|
|
Due to the unstable nature of the branch it is not guaranteed that any fixes will be released in the next pre-release.
|
|
|
|
## Disclosure Policy
|
|
|
|
When the security team receives a security bug report, they will assign it to a
|
|
primary handler. This person will coordinate the fix and release process,
|
|
involving the following steps:
|
|
|
|
* Confirm the problem and determine the affected versions.
|
|
* Audit code to find any potential similar problems.
|
|
* Prepare fixes for all releases still under maintenance. These fixes will be
|
|
released as fast as possible to npm.
|
|
|
|
## The Express Threat Model
|
|
|
|
We are currently working on a new version of the security model, the most updated version can be found [here](https://github.com/expressjs/security-wg/blob/main/docs/ThreatModel.md)
