v0.40.5

The mirror-supplied (untrusted) version flows into download URLs,
filesystem paths, and the checksum awk match.
Reject any version outside the node/io.js grammar
(`[0-9A-Za-z._+-]`) before it is used.
A blocklist of metacharacters is used rather than a strict semver allowlist so RCs, nightlies, v8-canary, and io.js versions still install.

Completes the remediation of GHSA-3c52-35h2-gfmm.

 Please file a private vulnerability report via GitHub, email [@ljharb](https://github.com/ljharb), or see https://tidelift.com/security if you have a potential security vulnerability to report.
 
+## Escalation
+
+If you do not receive an acknowledgement of your report within 6 business days, or if you cannot find a private security contact for the project, you may escalate to the OpenJS Foundation CNA at `security@lists.openjsf.org`.
+
+If the project acknowledges your report but does not provide any further response or engagement within 14 days, escalation is also appropriate.

-nvm is a version manager for [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/), designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. `nvm` works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: unix, macOS, and [windows WSL](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#important-notes).

 Running either of the above commands downloads a script and runs it. The script clones the nvm repository to `~/.nvm`, and attempts to add the source lines from the snippet below to the correct profile file (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`).

+If you've previously downloaded a node version (or it's still in the cache), you can install it without any network access using the `--offline` flag:
