Reporting Security Problems to npm

If you need to report a security vulnerability. Please visit https://npmjs.com/support. If your issue is specific to your account, such as lost credentials or problems with two-factor authentication, contacting our support team is more appropriate.

We review all security reports on the next business day. Note that the npm staff is generally offline for most US holidays, but please do not delay your report! Our off-hours support staff can fix many issues, and will alert our security point of contact if needed.

Security Point of Contact

Any security tickets opened using https://npmjs.com/support will be escalated to the security point of contact, who will delegate incident response activities as appropriate. This is the best and fastest way to contact npm about any security-related matter.
