doc: simplify security reporting text
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Edit security-reporting text in the README to keep it concise and
straightforward. The removed text may discourage reporting. Nothing like
it appears in similar security-reporting text that I have reviewed.
See, for example, the Linux kernel docs on security reporting:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.11/admin-guide/security-bugs.html

There are no hard and fast rules to determine if a bug is worth reporting as
a security issue. The general rule is an issue worth reporting should 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 Response Team thinks of them. When in doubt, however, please do send
us a report nonetheless.
