Currently `Topic#pm_topic_count` is a count of all personal messages tagged for a given tag. As a result, any user with access to PM tags can poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new personal message has been created using that tag even if the user does not have access to the personal message. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
With this commit, `Topic#pm_topic_count` is hidden from users by default unless the `display_personal_messages_tag_counts` site setting is enabled.
The presence service would retry `/presence/update` requests every second (or immediately in tests) in case where server returns 429 (rate limit) errors. That could lead to infinite spamming (until user refreshed tab/tabs)

The check used to be necessary because we validated the referrer too and
this bypass was a workaround a bug that is present in some browsers that
do not send the correct referrer.
When creating a group membership request, there is no character
limit on the 'reason' field. This can be potentially be used by
an attacker to create enormous amount of data in the database.
When a user checks "Open all external links in a new tab" preference
he expects not to be overruled by unrelated text selections.
Yet if text is selected during a link click the link is followed on
the same tab. This change corrects that.
There was an issue where if hashtag-cooked HTML was sent
to the ExcerptParser without the keep_svg option, we would
end up with empty </use> and </svg> tags on the parts of the
excerpt where the hashtag was, in this case when a post
push notification was sent.
Fixed this, and also added a way to only display a plaintext
version of the hashtag for cases like this via PrettyText#excerpt.
Meta topic: https://meta.discourse.org/t/android-keyboard-overlaps-text-when-flagging-with-something-else/249687?u=osama
On Android, it's currently not possible to scroll modals that take input from the user (such as the flagging modal) when the keyboard is open which means that the keyboard can cover up part of the modal with no way for the user to see the covered part without closing the keyboard. This commit adds some CSS to make these modals scrollable when the keyboard is open.
In the group member bulk edit menu we are displaying staff-only options
to non-staff. The requests are blocked by the back-end, so there is no
harm other than to the user experience.
Notably the individual user edit menu is correctly filtering out
unavailable options. This change brings the bulk edit menu in line with
that.
When EmbeddableHost is configured for a specific category and that category is deleted, then EmbeddableHost should be deleted as well.
In addition, migration was added to fix existing data.
This is a very subtle one. Setting the redirect URL is done by passing
a hash through a Discourse event. This is broken on Ruby 2 since the
support for keyword arguments in events was added.
In Ruby 2 the last argument is cast to keyword arguments if it is a
hash. The key point here is that creates a new copy of the hash, so
what the plugin is modifying is not the hash that was passed.
Currently, `Tag#topic_count` is a count of all regular topics regardless of whether the topic is in a read restricted category or not. As a result, any users can technically poll a sensitive tag to determine if a new topic is created in a category which the user has not excess to. We classify this as a minor leak in sensitive information.
The following changes are introduced in this commit:
1. Introduce `Tag#public_topic_count` which only count topics which have been tagged with a given tag in public categories.
2. Rename `Tag#topic_count` to `Tag#staff_topic_count` which counts the same way as `Tag#topic_count`. In other words, it counts all topics tagged with a given tag regardless of the category the topic is in. The rename is also done so that we indicate that this column contains sensitive information.
3. Change all previous spots which relied on `Topic#topic_count` to rely on `Tag.topic_column_count(guardian)` which will return the right "topic count" column to use based on the current scope.
4. Introduce `SiteSetting.include_secure_categories_in_tag_counts` site setting to allow site administrators to always display the tag topics count using `Tag#staff_topic_count` instead.
0403cda1d1 introduced a regression where
topics in non read-restricted categories have its TopicTrackingState
MessageBus messages published with the `group_ids: [nil]` option. This
essentially means that no one would be able to view the message.
When a topic belongs to category that is read restricted but permission
has not been granted to any groups, publishing ceratin topic tracking state
updates for the topic will result in the `MessageBus::InvalidMessageTarget` error being raised
because we're passing `nil` to `group_ids` which is not support by
MessageBus.
This commit ensures that for said category above, we will publish the
updates to the admin groups.
```
class Jobs::DummyDelayedJob < Jobs::Base
def execute(args = {})
end
end
RSpec.describe "Jobs.run_immediately!" do
before { Jobs.run_immediately! }
it "explodes" do
current_user = Fabricate(:user)
Jobs.enqueue_in(1.seconds, :dummy_delayed_job)
sign_in(current_user)
end
end
```
The test above will fail with the following error if `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is called before the configured Capybara server checks out a connection from the connection pool.
```
ActiveRecord::ActiveRecordError:
Cannot expire connection, it is owned by a different thread: #<Thread:0x00007f437391df58@puma srv tp 001 /home/tgxworld/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.3/lib/ruby/gems/3.1.0/gems/puma-6.0.2/lib/puma/thread_pool.rb:106 sleep_forever>. Current thread: #<Thread:0x00007f437d6cfc60 run>.
```
We're not exactly sure if this is an ActiveRecord bug or not but we've
invested too much time into investigating this problem. Fundamentally,
we also no longer understand why `ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is being called in an ensure block
within `Jobs::Base#perform` which was added in
ceddb6e0da 10 years ago. This
commit moves the logic for running jobs immediately out of the
`Jobs::Base#perform` method into another `Jobs::Base#perform_immediately` method such that
`ActiveRecord::Base.connection_handler.clear_active_connections!` is not
called. This change will only impact the test environment.
These accidental inclusions are mostly no-ops (because the method name is also included as an explicit symbol). The mistakes were made more obvious because syntax_tree adjusted the indentation of these methods
There are various performance issues with the Canvas in iOS Safari
that are causing crashes when processing images with spikes of over 100%
CPU usage. The cause of this is unknown, but profiling points to
CanvasRenderingContext2D.getImageData() and
CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage().
Until Safari makes some progress with OffscreenCanvas or other
alternatives we cannot support this workflow. We will revisit in 6
months.
This is gated behind the hidden `composer_ios_media_optimisation_image_enabled`
site setting for people who really still want to try using this.
This change adds `target` to the set of attributes allowed by the
HTML sanitizer which is applied to the description of a user_field.
The rationale for this change:
* If one puts a link (<a>...</a>) in the description of a user_field
that is present and/or required at sign-up, the expectation is that
a prospective new user will click on that link during sign-up.
* Without an appropriate `target` attribute on the link, the new page
will be loaded in the same window/tab as the sign-up form, but this
will obliterate any fields that the user had already filled-out on
the form. (E.g., hitting the back-button will return to an
empty form.)
* Such UX behavior is incredibly aggravating to new users.
This change allows an admin to add a `target` attribute to links, to
instruct the browser to open them in a different window/tab, leaving
a sign-up form intact.
This commit introduces the experimental `registerUserCategorySectionLinkCountable`
and `refreshUserSidebarCategoriesSectionCounts` plugin APIs that allows
a plugin to register custom countables to category section links on top
of the defaults of unread and new.
Links to category settings were created using the category name. If the name was a single word, the link would be valid (regardless of capitalization).
For example, if the category was named `Awesome`
`/c/Awesome/edit/settings`
is a valid URL as that is a case-insensitive match for the category slug of `awesome`.
However, if the category had a space in it, the URL would be
`/c/Awesome%20Name/edit/settings`
which does not match the slug of `awesome-name`.
This change uses the category slug, rather than the name, which is the expected behaviour (see `Category.find_by_slug_path`).
This commit does a couple of things:
1. Changes the limit of tags to include a subject for a
notification email to the `max_tags_per_topic` setting
instead of the arbitrary 3 limit
2. Adds both an X-Discourse-Tags and X-Discourse-Category
custom header to outbound emails containing the tags
and category from the subject, so people on mail clients
that allow advanced filtering (i.e. not Gmail) can filter
mail by tags and category, which is useful for mailing
list mode users

We previously used post creator's guardian permissions which will raise an error if the reviewer added a staff-only (restricted) tag.

This feature is stable enough now to make it the default going forward
for new sites. Existing sites that have not yet set enable_experimental_hashtag_autocomplete
to `true` will have it set to `false` for their site settings, which was the old default.

This commit fixes an issue where the chat message bookmarks
did not respect the user's `bookmark_auto_delete_preference`
which they select in their user preference page.
Also, it changes the default for that value to "keep bookmark and clear reminder"
rather than "never", which ends up leaving a lot of expired bookmark
reminders around which are a pain to clean up.
