Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js
uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and
efficient. The Node.js package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of
open source libraries in the world.

The Node.js project is supported by the
Node.js Foundation. Contributions,
policies, and releases are managed under an
open governance model.

undefinedThis project is bound by a Code of Conduct.undefined

If you need help using or installing Node.js, please use the
nodejs/help issue tracker.

Official Resources

Unofficial Resources

Please note that unofficial resources are neither managed by (nor necessarily
endorsed by) the Node.js TSC. Specifically, such resources are not
currently covered by the Node.js Moderation Policy and the selection and
actions of resource operators/moderators are not subject to TSC oversight.

Release Types

The Node.js project maintains multiple types of releases:

  • undefinedCurrent: Released from active development branches of this repository,
    versioned by SemVer and signed by a member of the
    Release Team.
    Code for Current releases is organized in this repository by major version
    number. For example: v4.x.
    The major version number of Current releases will increment every 6 months
    allowing for breaking changes to be introduced. This happens in April and
    October every year. Current release lines beginning in October each year have
    a maximum support life of 8 months. Current release lines beginning in April
    each year will convert to LTS (see below) after 6 months and receive further
    support for 30 months.
  • undefinedLTS: Releases that receive Long-term Support, with a focus on stability
    and security. Every second Current release line (major version) will become an
    LTS line and receive 18 months of Active LTS support and a further 12
    months of Maintenance. LTS release lines are given alphabetically
    ordered codenames, beginning with v4 Argon. LTS releases are less frequent
    and will attempt to maintain consistent major and minor version numbers,
    only incrementing patch version numbers. There are no breaking changes or
    feature additions, except in some special circumstances.
  • undefinedNightly: Versions of code in this repository on the current Current
    branch, automatically built every 24-hours where changes exist. Use with
    caution.

More information can be found in the LTS README.

Download

Binaries, installers, and source tarballs are available at
https://nodejs.org.

Current and LTS Releases

undefinedCurrent and LTS releases are available at
https://nodejs.org/download/release/, listed under their version strings.
The latest directory is an
alias for the latest Current release. The latest LTS release from an LTS
line is available in the form: latest-codename. For example:
https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-argon.

Nightly Releases

undefinedNightly builds are available at
https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/, listed under their version
string which includes their date (in UTC time) and the commit SHA at
the HEAD of the release.

API Documentation

undefinedAPI documentation is available in each release and nightly
directory under docs. https://nodejs.org/api/ points to the API
documentation of the latest stable version.

Verifying Binaries

Current, LTS and Nightly download directories all contain a SHASUMS256.txt
file that lists the SHA checksums for each file available for
download.

The SHASUMS256.txt can be downloaded using curl.

$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt

To check that a downloaded file matches the checksum, run
it through sha256sum with a command such as:

$ grep node-vx.y.z.tar.gz SHASUMS256.txt | sha256sum -c -

(Where “node-vx.y.z.tar.gz” is the name of the file you have
downloaded)

Additionally, Current and LTS releases (not Nightlies) have the GPG
detached signature of SHASUMS256.txt available as SHASUMS256.txt.sig.
You can use gpg to verify that SHASUMS256.txt has not been tampered with.

To verify SHASUMS256.txt has not been altered, you will first need to import
all of the GPG keys of individuals authorized to create releases. They are
listed at the bottom of this README under Release Team.
Use a command such as this to import the keys:

$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D

(See the bottom of this README for a full script to import active
release keys)

Next, download the SHASUMS256.txt.sig for the release:

$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt.sig

After downloading the appropriate SHASUMS256.txt and SHASUMS256.txt.sig files,
you can then use gpg --verify SHASUMS256.txt.sig SHASUMS256.txt to verify
that the file has been signed by an authorized member of the Node.js team.

Once verified, use the SHASUMS256.txt file to get the checksum for
the binary verification command above.

Building Node.js

See BUILDING.md for instructions on how to build
Node.js from source. The document also contains a list of
officially supported platforms.

Security

All security bugs in Node.js are taken seriously and should be reported by
emailing security@nodejs.org. This will be delivered to a subset of the project
team who handle security issues. Please don’t disclose security bugs
publicly until they have been handled by the security team.

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.

There are no hard and fast rules to determine if a bug is worth reporting as
a security issue. The general rule is any issue worth reporting
must allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrity
or availability of the Node.js application or its system for which the attacker
does not already have the capability.

To illustrate the point, here are some examples of past issues and what the
Security Reponse Team thinks of them. When in doubt, however, please do send
us a report nonetheless.

Public disclosure preferred

  • #14519: Internal domain
    function can be used to cause segfaults    . Causing program termination using
    either the public Javascript APIs or the private bindings layer APIs requires
    the ability to execute arbitrary Javascript code, which is already the highest
    level of privilege possible.

  • #12141: buffer: zero fill
    Buffer(num) by default    . The buffer constructor behaviour was documented,
    but found to be prone to mis-use.
    It has since been changed, but despite much debate, was not considered misuse
    prone enough to justify fixing in older release lines and breaking our
    API stability contract.

Private disclosure preferred

  • CVE-2016-7099:
    Fix invalid wildcard certificate validation check. This is a high severity
    defect that would allow a malicious TLS server to serve an invalid wildcard
    certificate for its hostname and be improperly validated by a Node.js client.

  • #5507: Fix a defect that makes
    the CacheBleed Attack possible    . Many, though not all, OpenSSL vulnerabilities
    in the TLS/SSL protocols also effect Node.js.

  • CVE-2016-2216:
    Fix defects in HTTP header parsing for requests and responses that can allow
    response splitting    . While the impact of this vulnerability is application and
    network dependent, it is remotely exploitable in the HTTP protocol.

When in doubt, please do send us a report.

Current Project Team Members

The Node.js project team comprises a group of core collaborators and a sub-group
that forms the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) which governs the project.
For more information about the governance of the Node.js project, see
