# security-wg
Express.js Security Working Group
# Security Working Group

## Charter

The Security Working Group manages all aspects and processes linked to Express.js security, and is responsible for managing incoming security reports, and responsible also to prepare patches or releases. The nature of this task is sensitive, so only the Security triage team, Repo Captains and TC members will be involved on it.

**Responsibilities include**
- Define the Security triage role
- Define and maintain security policies and procedures for the project and the packages in scope
- Elaborate guidelines and recommendations for the ecosystem on how to build more secure middleware
- Review and recommend processes for handling of security reports (but not the actual handling of security reports, which are reviewed directly by the TC).
- Promote improvement of security practices within the Express.js ecosystem (For example: [OSSF Scorecard](https://github.com/expressjs/discussions/issues/162), threat model, etc..)
- Recommend security improvements for the project and the packages in scope
- Support the TC team on security triage when is requested
- Support initiatives from the [OpenJS Foundation Security Collab Space](https://github.com/openjs-foundation/security-collab-space).

## Meetings

The Security Working Group meets every two weeks. Meetings are held on Zoom and are recorded or directly streamed to Youtube. The meeting is open to the public. The agenda and meeting notes are published in this repository.


## Offline Discussions

The Security Working Group uses the [GitHub issues]() for offline discussions. The discussions are open to the public and anyone can participate. Also, the group uses the channel `#express-security-wg` in the [OpenJS Foundation Slack](https://openjsf.org/collaboration) for real-time discussions.

## Code of Conduct

The [Express.js CoC](https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/master/Code-Of-Conduct.md) applies to this repo.
