In a move that aims to help improve security vulnerability disclosure, the Node.js Security Project announced on November 30 that it is now officially becoming part of the Node.js Foundation. The move will help to improve the security of the open-source Node.js development framework and its modules, which are widely used in modern applications.

The Node.js Foundation is a multi-stakeholder effort that was first launched by the Linux Foundation in June 2015 in an effort to help stabilize the Node.js community. The Node.js Foundation currently estimates that there are more than one billion Node.js package downloads per week.
