A new admin setting called `enforce_second_factor_on_external_auth`. It allows users to authenticate using external providers even when 2FA is forced with `enforce_second_factor` site setting.
This commit introduces a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site setting which
replaces the `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site setting.
The reason `enable_s3_inventory` and `s3_configure_inventory_policy`
site settings are removed is because this feature has technically been
broken since it was introduced. When the `enable_s3_inventory` feature
is turned on, the app will because configure a daily inventory policy for the
`s3_upload_bucket` bucket and store the inventories under a prefix in
the bucket. The problem here is that once the inventories are created,
there is nothing cleaning up all these inventories so whoever that has
enabled this feature would have been paying the cost of storing a whole
bunch of inventory files which are never used. Given that we have not
received any complains about inventory files inflating S3 storage costs,
we think that it is very likely that this feature is no longer being
used and we are looking to drop support for this feature in the not too
distance future.
For now, we will still support a hidden `s3_inventory_bucket` site
setting which site administrators can configure via the
`DISCOURSE_S3_INVENTORY_BUCKET` env.
AWS recommends running buckets without ACLs, and to use resource policies to manage access control instead.
This is not a bad idea, because S3 ACLs are whack, and while resource policies are also whack, they're a more constrained form of whack.
Further, some compliance regimes get antsy if you don't go with the vendor's recommended settings, and arguing that you need to enable ACLs on a bucket just to store images in there is more hassle than it's worth.
The new site setting (s3_use_acls) cannot be disabled when secure
uploads is enabled -- the latter relies on private ACLs for security
at this point in time. We may want to reexamine this in future.
When we renamed the `default_categories_regular` to `default_categories_normal` we missed a site setting validation method. It allowed the duplicate category ids in `default_categories_normal` site setting and caused the problem in user registration process.

This commit renames all secure_media related settings to secure_uploads_* along with the associated functionality.
This is being done because "media" does not really cover it, we aren't just doing this for images and videos etc. but for all uploads in the site.
Additionally, in future we want to secure more types of uploads, and enable a kind of "mixed mode" where some uploads are secure and some are not, so keeping media in the name is just confusing.
This also keeps compatibility with the `secure-media-uploads` path, and changes new
secure URLs to be `secure-uploads`.
Deprecated settings:
* secure_media -> secure_uploads
* secure_media_allow_embed_images_in_emails -> secure_uploads_allow_embed_images_in_emails
* secure_media_max_email_embed_image_size_kb -> secure_uploads_max_email_embed_image_size_kb
At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
Twitter does not allow SVGs to be used for twitter:image
metadata (see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
so we should fall back to the site logo if the image option
provided to `crawlable_meta_data` or SiteSetting.site_twitter_summary_large_image_url
is an SVG, and do not add the meta tag for twitter:image at all
if the site logo is an SVG.
Admins won't be able to disable strip_image_metadata if they don't
disable composer_media_optimization_image_enabled first since the later
will strip the same metadata on client during upload, making disabling
the former have no effect.
Bug report at https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/223350
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
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.
There are issues around displaying images on published pages when secure media is enabled. This PR temporarily makes it appear as if published pages are enabled if secure media is also enabled.
* FIX: second factor cannot be enabled if SSO is enabled
If `enable_sso` setting is enabled then admin should not be able to
enable `enforce_second_factor` setting as that will lock users out.

Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
The secure media functionality relied on `SiteSetting.enable_s3_uploads?` which, as we found in dev, did not take into account global S3 settings via `GlobalSetting.use_s3?`. We now use `SiteSetting.Upload.enable_s3_uploads` instead to be more consistent.
Also, we now validate `enable_s3_uploads` changes, because if `GlobalSetting.use_s3?` is true users should NOT be enabling S3 uploads manually.
This PR introduces a new secure media setting. When enabled, it prevent unathorized access to media uploads (files of type image, video and audio). When the `login_required` setting is enabled, then all media uploads will be protected from unauthorized (anonymous) access. When `login_required`is disabled, only media in private messages will be protected from unauthorized access.
A few notes:
- the `prevent_anons_from_downloading_files` setting no longer applies to audio and video uploads
- the `secure_media` setting can only be enabled if S3 uploads are already enabled and configured
- upload records have a new column, `secure`, which is a boolean `true/false` of the upload's secure status
- when creating a public post with an upload that has already been uploaded and is marked as secure, the post creator will raise an error
- when enabling or disabling the setting on a site with existing uploads, the rake task `uploads:ensure_correct_acl` should be used to update all uploads' secure status and their ACL on S3
It was possible to add a category to more than one default group, e.g. "default categories muted" and "default categories watching first post".
The bug was caused by category validations inadvertently comparing strings and numbers.
This is a low severity security fix because it requires a logged in
admin user to update a site setting via the API directly to an invalid
value.
The fix adds validation for the affected site settings, as well as a
secondary fix to prevent injection in the event of bad data somehow
already exists.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
This validation makes sure that the s3_upload_bucket and the
s3_backup_bucket have different values. The backup bucket is
allowed to be a subfolder of the upload bucket. The other way
around is forbidden because the backup system searches by
prefix and would return all files stored within the backup
bucket and its subfolders.
This change-set allows setting different defaults for different locales.
It also:
- Adds extensive testing around site setting validation
- raises deprecation error if site setting has the default property based on env
- relocated site settings for dev and tests in the initializer
- deprecated client_setting in the site setting's loading process
- ensure it raises when a enum site setting being set
- default_locale is promoted to `required` category.
- fixes incorrect default setting and validation
- fixes ensure type check for site settings
- creates a benchmark for site setting
- sets reasonable defaults for Chinese
