The highest severity issue that will be fixed in the release +is "HIGH" severity under their +[security policy](https://www.openssl.org/policies/secpolicy.html), +meaning they are: + +> ... issues that are of a lower risk than critical, perhaps due to affecting +> less common configurations, or which are less likely to be exploitable. + +All supported versions of Node.js use OpenSSL v1.1.1, therefore all active +release lines are impacted by this update: v10.x, v12.x, v13.x, and v14.x ( +14.0.0 is to be released on the 21st of April, by coincidence). + +At this stage, due to embargo, the exact nature of these defects is uncertain +as well as the impact they will have on Node.js users. + +After assessing the impact on Node.js, it will be decided whether the issues +fixed require immediate security releases of Node.js, or whether they can be +included in the normally scheduled updates. + +Please monitor the **nodejs-sec** Google Group for updates, including a +decision within 24 hours after the OpenSSL release regarding release timing, +and full details of the defects upon eventual release: +https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nodejs-sec + +### Contact and future updates + +The current Node.js security policy can be found at , +including information on how to report a vulnerability in Node.js. + +Subscribe to the low-volume announcement-only **nodejs-sec** mailing list at +https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nodejs-sec to stay up to date on +security vulnerabilities and security-related releases of Node.js and the +projects maintained in the +[nodejs GitHub organisation](https://github.com/nodejs).
