+## Reporting a Bug
+
+All security bugs in Node.js are taken seriously and should be reported by emailing [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).
+This will be delivered to a subset of the core team who handle security issues.
+
+Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you’ll receive a more detailed response to your email 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 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.
+
+Security bugs in third party modules should be reported to their respective maintainers and can also be coordinated
+through the [Node Security Project](https://nodesecurity.io).
+
+Thank you for improving the security of Node.js. 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.
+
+- [http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs-sec](http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs-sec)
+- [http://blog.nodejs.org](http://blog.nodejs.org)
+
+
+## Comments on this Policy
+
+If you have suggestions on how this process could be improved please submit a [pull request](https://github.com/joyent/node-website)
+or email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) to discuss.
