This updates the security policy to clarify that crashes caused by application callbacks throwing uncaught exceptions are outside the Node.js threat model.
It also points to CVE-2026-21637 as an example of a case that was previously triaged as a vulnerability but should not be treated as one going forward.
Fixes: nodejs/security-wg#1568
