+# 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.
+
+The security team will acknowledge your email within 24 hours. You will receive
+a more detailed response within 48 hours.
+
+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.
+
+## Public disclosure preferred
+
+- [#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.
+
+## Private disclosure preferred
+
+- [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.
+
+- [#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.
+
+- [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.
+
+When in doubt, please do send us a report.
