To add an extra layer of security, we sanitize settings before shipping them to the client. We don't sanitize those that have the "html" type.
The CookedPostProcessor already uses Loofah for sanitization, so I chose to also use it for this. I added it to our gemfile since we installed it as a transitive dependency.
This feature used to be controlled by two site settings
enable_personal_email_messages and min_trust_to_send_email_messages.
I removed enable_personal_email_messages and unhide
min_trust_to_send_email_messages to simplify the process of
enabling / disabling this feature.
* FEATURE: Cache successful HTTP GET requests during Oneboxing
Some oneboxes may fail if when making excessive and/or odd requests against the target domains. This change provides a simple mechanism to cache the results of succesful GET requests as part of the oneboxing process, with the goal of reducing repeated requests and ultimately improving the rate of successful oneboxing.
To enable:
Set `SiteSetting.cache_onebox_response_body` to `true`
Add the domains you’re interesting in caching to `SiteSetting. cache_onebox_response_body_domains` e.g. `example.com|example.org|example.net`
Optionally set `SiteSetting.cache_onebox_user_agent` to a user agent string of your choice to use when making requests against domains in the above list.
* FIX: Swap order of duration and value in redis call
The correct order for `setex` arguments is `key`, `duration`, and `value`.
Duration and value had been flipped, however the code would not have thrown an error because we were caching the value of `1.day.to_i` for a period of 1 seconds… The intention appears to be to set a value of 1 (purely as a flag) for a period of 1 day.
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.
Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.
This is not recommended. But if you have other protections in place for CSRF mitigation, you may wish to disable Discourse's implementation. This site setting is not visible in the UI, and must be changed via the console.
Prior to this change, we had weights for very_high, high, low and
very_low. This means there were 4 weights to tweak and what weights to
use for `very_high/high` and `very_low/low` pair was hard to explain.
This change makes it such that `very_high` search priority will always
ensure that the posts are ranked at the top while `very_low` search
priority will ensure that the posts are ranked at the very bottom.
* FIX: Do not show expired invites under Pending tab
* DEV: Controller action was renamed in previous commit
* FEATURE: Add 'Expired' tab to invites
* FEATURE: Refresh model after removing expired invites
* FEATURE: Do not immediately add invite to the list
Opening the 'create-invite' modal used to automatically generate an
invite to reserve an invite link. If the user did not save it and
closed the modal, the invite would be destroyed. This operations caused
the invite list to change in the background and confuse users.
* FEATURE: Sort redeemed users by creation time
* UX: Improve show / hide advanced options link
* FIX: Show redeemed users even if invites were trashed
* UX: Change modal title when editing invite
* UX: Remove Get Link button
Users can get it from the edit modal
* FEATURE: Add limit for invite links generated by regular users
* FEATURE: Add option to skip email
* UX: Show better error messages
* FIX: Show "Invited by" even if invite was trashed

* FEATURE: Add button to save without sending email
Follow up to c86379a465f28a3cc64a4a8c939cf32cf2931659.
* DEV: Use a buffer to hold all changed data

Mailing list mode can generate significant email volume, especially on sites with a large user base. Disable mailing list mode via site settings by default so sites don't experience an unexpectedly large cost from outgoing email.
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
Uses discourse/onebox@ff9ec90
Adds a hidden site setting called disable_onebox_media_download_controls which will add controlslist="nodownload" to video and audio oneboxes, and also to the local video and audio oneboxes within Discourse.
This setting is confusing admins, it is now hidden by default
It only applies to major updates of the rendering engine or imports and
very infrequently needs tweaking
The 'Discourse SSO' protocol is being rebranded to DiscourseConnect. This should help to reduce confusion when 'SSO' is used in the generic sense.
This commit aims to:
- Rename `sso_` site settings. DiscourseConnect specific ones are prefixed `discourse_connect_`. Generic settings are prefixed `auth_`
- Add (server-side-only) backwards compatibility for the old setting names, with deprecation notices
- Copy `site_settings` database records to the new names
- Rename relevant translation keys
- Update relevant translations
This commit does **not** aim to:
- Rename any Ruby classes or methods. This might be done in a future commit
- Change any URLs. This would break existing integrations
- Make any changes to the protocol. This would break existing integrations
- Change any functionality. Further normalization across DiscourseConnect and other auth methods will be done separately
The risks are:
- There is no backwards compatibility for site settings on the client-side. Accessing auth-related site settings in Javascript is fairly rare, and an error on the client side would not be security-critical.
- If a plugin is monkey-patching parts of the auth process, changes to locale keys could cause broken error messages. This should also be unlikely. The old site setting names remain functional, so security-related overrides will remain working.
A follow-up commit will be made with a post-deploy migration to delete the old `site_settings` rows.
- Improve warning message.
- Only display the warning if the language has a fallback and either "allow_user_locale", or "set_locale_from_accept_language_header" are enabled.
osts from topics with 'auto delete replies timer' with more than
skip_auto_delete_reply_likes likes will no longer be deleted. If 0,
all posts will be deleted.
Include the enable_filtered_replies_view site setting in the admin UI
Adds title label to in-reply-to widget
Invokes the filtered UI when using replies_to_post_number as a query
parameter
Replaces the "Show All" button icon
Fixes grammar for "Viewing 1 reply to..." label
You can let non-staff users use shared drafts by modifying the `shared_drafts_min_trust_level` site setting. These users must have access to the shared draft category.
* FIX: show/hide ignored users preferences
based on the current user trust level and the appropriate site setting.
* Allow us to await the `updateCurrentUser` call
Co-authored-by: Robin Ward <robin.ward@gmail.com>
This adds a new min_trust_level_to_allow_ignore site setting that enables admins to control the point at which a user is allowed to ignore other users.
* FEATURE: display error if Oneboxing fails due to HTTP error
- display warning if onebox URL is unresolvable
- display warning if attributes are missing
* FEATURE: Use new Instagram oEmbed endpoint if access token is configured
Instagram requires an Access Token to access their oEmbed endpoint. The requirements (from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed/) are as follows:
- a Facebook Developer account, which you can create at developers.facebook.com
- a registered Facebook app
- the oEmbed Product added to the app
- an Access Token
- The Facebook app must be in Live Mode
The generated Access Token, once added to SiteSetting.facebook_app_access_token, will be passed to onebox. Onebox can then use this token to access the oEmbed endpoint to generate a onebox for Instagram.
* DEV: update user agent string
* DEV: don’t do HEAD requests against news.yahoo.com
* DEV: Bump onebox version from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6
* DEV: Avoid re-reading templates
* DEV: Tweaks to onebox mustache templates
* DEV: simplified error message for missing onebox data
* Apply suggestions from code review

Per Google, sites are encouraged to upgrade from Universal Analytics v3 `analytics.js` to v4 `gtag.js` for Google Analytics tracking. We're giving admins the option to stay on the v3 API or migrate to v4. Admins can change the implementation they're using via the `ga_version` site setting. Eventually Google will deprecate v3, but our implementation gives admins the choice on what to use for now.
We chose this implementation to make the change less error prone, as many site admins are using custom events via the v3 UA API. With the site stetting defaulted to `v3_analytics`, site analytics won't break until the admin is ready to make the migration.
Additionally, in the v4 implementation, we do not enable automatic pageview tracking (on by default in the v4 API). Instead we rely on Discourse's page change API to report pageviews on transition to avoid double-tracking.
Discourse used to break from convention by logging out all sessions on any
specific session logout.
This would leave users confused about why mobile is logged out when the user
logged out of desktop.
log_out_strict is too conservative for most and not the pattern the industry
has adopted (google/twitter/facebook all perform no strict logouts)
This commit adds a site setting `auto_close_topics_create_linked_topic`
which when enabled works in conjunction with `auto_close_topics_post_count`
setting and creates a new linked topic for the topic just closed.
The auto-created new topic contains a link for all the previous topics
and the topic titles are appended with `(Part {n})`.
The setting is enabled by default.
Most proxies out there will work with chunked encoding transfer. However
some proxies buffer, causing large delays which in turn force the message
bus client to disable chunked encoding. This wastes a request to the message
bus causing superfluous load on the server.
Also
- enableLongPolling is already default true in the client, no need to set it
- remove confusing comment about zepto
Before deleting a topic that has a high number of views (default of 5000), the user will be prompted with a confirmation popup. This works for all delete buttons on the topic located in: topic-timeline, topic-admin-menu, topic-footer-buttons, and post-menu if the post's ID is 1.
The delete button will be disabled while deletion is in progress, to prevent any unwanted behavior.
A site setting is also available to change the minimum amount of views required to display the confirmation popup.
All kudos are going to @RickyC0626. I only rebased with master and added few qunit tests to ensure that this feature works as expected.
Original PR: #10459
New version of Thunderbird email client reimplemented PGP support. Now the following attachments are added by default, if email signatures are enabled:
* OpenPGP_0x(pgp key id).asc
* OpenPGP_signature(.asc)
The last one has `name="OpenPGP_signature.asc"` in `Content-Type` but `filename="OpenPGP_signature"` (without extension) in `Content-Disposition: attachment`.
Since both the key and the signature have proper MIME types, filter them by default.
