what are those "LSEP" characters?


The Node.js project will release new versions of all supported release lines on or shortly after Tuesday December 17, 2019 UTC. The only update in these releases will be an updated version of npm addressing the vulnerability announced in https://blog.npmjs.org/post/189618601100/binary-planting-with-the-npm-cli.

In the meantime, users should update to npm 6.13.4 by following the instructions provided in the npm advisory. As a general rule, avoid running npm in production environments.

# Impact

All versions of Node.js are vulnerable including the LTS and current releases: Node.js 8 (LTS "Carbon"), Node.js 10 (LTS "Dubnium") , Node.js 12 (LTS "Erbium"), and Node.js 13.

# Release timing


Releases will be available at, or shortly after, Tuesday, December 17, 2019 UTC.
