Escalation means contacting the OpenJS Foundation CNA if the Node.js security team is unresponsive. The CNA can ensure your report is acknowledged, help coordinate disclosure, and assign a CVE if necessary. Escalation does not bypass the normal process or guarantee a faster fix. It is a safeguard to ensure reports are properly handled.
