Hi,

net-libs/nodejs supports multiple branches (12.x, 14.x at the moment) but not slotting. Therefore targeting in GLSA is impossible, see bug 718040.

Could you please add subslots to the package which would allow us to target different branches at least? See https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=478d931dbd6fb79b0f489af11e7a8a62fe4437e7 for example.

Security project can do that for you or create a PR for review.
