This commit adds a new notification that gets sent to admins when the site gets new features after an upgrade/deploy. Clicking on the notification takes the admin to the admin dashboard at `/admin` where they can see the new features under the "New Features" section.
Internal topic: t/87166.
1. The events table had broken styling, making each row overflow
2. It had confusing routes: `/:id` for "edit" and `/:id/events` for "show" (now it's `/:id/edit` and `/:id` respectively)
3. There previously was an unused backend action (`#edit`) - now it is used (and `web_hooks/:id/events` route has been removed)
4. There was outdated/misplaced/duplicated CSS
5. And more
* FEATURE: Show similar users when penalizing a user
Moderators will be notified if other users with the same IP address
exist before penalizing a user.
* FEATURE: Allow staff to penalize multiple users
This allows staff members to suspend or silence multiple users belonging
to the same person.
While load testing our user creation code path in production, we
identified that executing the DB statement to update the `Group#user_count` column within a
transaction is creating a bottleneck for us. This is because the
creation of a user and addition of the user to the relevant groups are
done in a transaction. When we execute the DB statement to update
`Group#user_count` for the relevant group, a row level lock is held
until the transaction completes. This row level lock acts like a global
lock when the server is creating users that will be added to the same
group in quick succession.
Instead of updating the counter cache within a transaction which the
default ActiveRecord `counter_cache` option does, we simply update the
counter cache outside of the committing transaction.

Currently, moderators are able to set primary group for users
irrespective of the of the `moderators_manage_categories_and_groups` site
setting value.
This change updates Guardian implementation to honour it.
Previously, we didn't have a site-wide setting to set the default behavior for user profile visibility and user presence features. But we already have a user preference for that.
* DEV: Add a dedicated Admin::StaffController base controller
The current parent(Admin:AdminController) for all admin-related controllers
uses a filter that allows only staff(admin, moderator) users.
This refactor makes Admin::AdminController filter for only admins as the name suggests and
introduces a base controller dedicated for staff-related endpoints.
* DEV: Set staff-only controllers parent to Admin::StaffController
Refactor staff-only controllers to inherit newly introduced
Admin::StaffController abstract controller. This conveys the
purpose of the parent controller better unlike the previously used parent
controller.
The previous sidebar default tags and categories implementation did not
allow for a user to configure their sidebar to have no categories or
tags. This commit changes how the defaults are applied. When a user is being created,
we create the SidebarSectionLink records based on the `default_sidebar_categories` and
`default_sidebar_tags` site settings. SidebarSectionLink records are
only created for categories and tags which the user has visibility on at
the point of user creation.
With this change, we're also adding the ability for admins to apply
changes to the `default_sidebar_categories` and `default_sidebar_tags`
site settings historically when changing their site setting. When a new
category/tag has been added to the default, the new category/tag will be
added to the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the changes historically.
Like wise when a tag/category is removed, the tag/category will be
removed from the sidebar for all users if the admin elects to apply the
changes historically.

Unless we have specified `override = true` in the DeprecatedSettings
class for an old -> new settings map, we should not allow people
to change the old setting in the UI and have it affect the new
setting.
* SECURITY: moderator shouldn't be able to import a theme via API.
* DEV: apply `AdminConstraint` for all the "themes" routes.

The generate RSA key and import theme routes worked separate from each
other. The RSA key returned both the public and private key and it was
the frontend which posted the private key back to the server. With this
commit, only the public key is necessary as the server keeps a map of
public and private keys that is used to get the private key back from
a public key.
A public key must be added to GitHub when installing private themes.
When the process happens asynchronously (for example if the admin does
not have admin permissions to the GitHub repository), installing
private themes becomes very difficult.
In this case, the Discourse admin can partially install the theme by
letting Discourse save the private key, create a placeholder theme and
give the admin a public key to be used as a deploy key. After the key
is installed, the admin can finish theme installation by pressing a
button on the theme page.
Follow up to 4d3c1ceb44, this commit
shows the SMTP response in the admin email sent list and also moves the
topic/post link into a new column. Reply key is now in its own column.
* FEATURE: Add case-sensitivity flag to watched_words
Currently, all watched words are matched case-insensitively. This flag
allows a watched word to be flagged for case-sensitive matching.
To allow allow for backwards compatibility the flag is set to false by
default.
* FEATURE: Support case-sensitive creation of Watched Words via API
Extend admin creation and upload of Watched Words to support case
sensitive flag. This lays the ground work for supporting
case-insensitive matching of Watched Words.
Support for an extra column has also been introduced for the Watched
Words upload CSV file. The new column structure is as follows:
word,replacement,case_sentive
* FEATURE: Enable case-sensitive matching of Watched Words
WordWatcher's word_matcher_regexp now returns a list of regular
expressions instead of one case-insensitive regular expression.
With the ability to flag a Watched Word as case-sensitive, an action
can have words of both sensitivities.This makes the use of the global
Regexp::IGNORECASE flag added to all words problematic.
To get around platform limitations around the use of subexpression level
switches/flags, a list of regular expressions is returned instead, one for each
case sensitivity.
Word matching has also been updated to use this list of regular expressions
instead of one.
* FEATURE: Use case-sensitive regular expressions for Watched Words
Update Watched Words regular expressions matching and processing to handle
the extra metadata which comes along with the introduction of
case-sensitive Watched Words.
This allows case-sensitive Watched Words to matched as such.
* DEV: Simplify type casting of case-sensitive flag from uploads
Use builtin semantics instead of a custom method for converting
string case flags in uploaded Watched Words to boolean.
* UX: Add case-sensitivity details to Admin Watched Words UI
Update Watched Word form to include a toggle for case-sensitivity.
This also adds support for, case-sensitive testing and matching of Watched Word
in the admin UI.
* DEV: Code improvements from review feedback
- Extract watched word regex creation out to a utility function
- Make JS array presence check more explicit and readable
* DEV: Extract Watched Word regex creation to utility function
Clean-up work from review feedback. Reduce code duplication.
* DEV: Rename word_matcher_regexp to word_matcher_regexp_list
Since a list is returned now instead of a single regular expression,
change `word_matcher_regexp` to `word_matcher_regexp_list` to better communicate
this change.
* DEV: Incorporate WordWatcher updates from upstream
Resolve conflicts and ensure apply_to_text does not remove non-word characters in matches
that aren't at the beginning of the line.
When calling the API to delete a user:
```
curl -X DELETE "https://discourse.example.com/admin/users/159.json" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data;" \
-H "Api-Key: ***" \
-H "Api-Username: ***" \
-F "delete_posts=true" \
-F "block_email=false" \
-F "block_urls=false" \
-F "block_ip=false"
```
Setting the parameters `block_email`, `block_urls` and `block_ip`explicitly to `false` did not work because the values weren't being parsed to boolean.
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.
2FA support in Discourse was added and grown gradually over the years: we first
added support for TOTP for logins, then we implemented backup codes, and last
but not least, security keys. 2FA usage was initially limited to logging in,
but it has been expanded and we now require 2FA for risky actions such as
adding a new admin to the site.
As a result of this gradual growth of the 2FA system, technical debt has
accumulated to the point where it has become difficult to require 2FA for more
actions. We now have 5 different 2FA UI implementations and each one has to
support all 3 2FA methods (TOTP, backup codes, and security keys) which makes
it difficult to maintain a consistent UX for these different implementations.
Moreover, there is a lot of repeated logic in the server-side code behind these
5 UI implementations which hinders maintainability even more.
This commit is the first step towards repaying the technical debt: it builds a
system that centralizes as much as possible of the 2FA server-side logic and
UI. The 2 main components of this system are:
1. A dedicated page for 2FA with support for all 3 methods.
2. A reusable server-side class that centralizes the 2FA logic (the
`SecondFactor::AuthManager` class).
From a top-level view, the 2FA flow in this new system looks like this:
1. User initiates an action that requires 2FA;
2. Server is aware that 2FA is required for this action, so it redirects the
user to the 2FA page if the user has a 2FA method, otherwise the action is
performed.
3. User submits the 2FA form on the page;
4. Server validates the 2FA and if it's successful, the action is performed and
the user is redirected to the previous page.
A more technically-detailed explanation/documentation of the new system is
available as a comment at the top of the `lib/second_factor/auth_manager.rb`
file. Please note that the details are not set in stone and will likely change
in the future, so please don't use the system in your plugins yet.
Since this is a new system that needs to be tested, we've decided to migrate
only the 2FA for adding a new admin to the new system at this time (in this
commit). Our plan is to gradually migrate the remaining 2FA implementations to
the new system.
For screenshots of the 2FA page, see PR #15377 on GitHub.
An admin could search for all screened ip addresses in a block by
using wildcards. 192.168.* returned all IPs in range 192.168.0.0/16.
This feature allows admins to search for a single IP address in all
screened IP blocks. 192.168.0.1 returns all IP blocks that match it,
for example 192.168.0.0/16.
* FEATURE: Remove roll up button for screened IPs
* FIX: Match more specific screened IP address first
Discourse sent only translation overrides for the current language to the client instead of sending overrides from fallback locales as well. This especially impacted en_GB -> en since most overrides would be done in English instead of English (UK).
This also adds lots of tests for previously untested code.
There's a small caveat: The client currently doesn't handle fallback locales for MessageFormat strings. That is why overrides for those strings always have a higher priority than regular translations. So, as an example, the lookup order for MessageFormat strings in German is:
1. override for de
2. override for en
3. value from de
4. value from en
This commit introduces a new site setting "google_oauth2_hd_groups". If enabled, group information will be fetched from Google during authentication, and stored in the Discourse database. These 'associated groups' can be connected to a Discourse group via the "Membership" tab of the group preferences UI.
The majority of the implementation is generic, so we will be able to add support to more authentication methods in the near future.

`auto_update` is true by default at the database level, but it doesn't make sense for `auto_update` to be true on themes that are not imported from a Git repository.
This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
This takes the uppy chunking algorithm and combines it with some
form submission from resumable.js for parity with the current
backup controller to make local backup uploads work with uppy.
We can then use this to replace the resumable-upload component
and the resumable.js library from our codebase, once stable.
This is disabled by default, so people using local backups will not
be affected. The enable_experimental_backup_uploader site setting
must be enabled for this to work.
This commit refactors the direct external upload routes (get presigned
put, complete external, create/abort/complete multipart) into a
helper which is then included in both BackupController and the
UploadController. This is done so UploadController doesn't need
strange backup logic added to it, and so each controller implementing
this helper can do their own validation/error handling nicely.
This is a follow up to e4350bb966
Uppy adds the file name as the "name" parameter in the
payload by default, which means that for things like the
emoji uploader which have a name param used by the controller,
that param will be passed as the file name. We already use
the existing file name if the name param is null, so this
commit just does further cleanup of the name param, removing
the extension if it is a filename so we don't end up with
emoji names like blah_png.
Uppy and Resumable slice up their chunks differently, which causes a difference
in this algorithm. Let's take a 131.6MB file (137951695 bytes) with a 5MB (5242880 bytes)
chunk size. For resumable, there are 26 chunks, and uppy there are 27. This is
controlled by forceChunkSize in resumable which is false by default. The final
chunk size is 6879695 (chunk size + remainder) whereas in uppy it is 1636815 (just remainder).
This means that the current condition of uploaded_file_size + current_chunk_size >= total_size
is hit twice by uppy, because it uses a more correct number of chunks. This
can be solved for both uppy and resumable by checking the _previous_ chunk
number * chunk_size as the uploaded_file_size.
An example of what is happening before that change, using the current
chunk number to calculate uploaded_file_size.
chunk 26: resumable: uploaded_file_size (26 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (6879695) = 143194575 >= total_size (137951695) ? YES
chunk 26: uppy: uploaded_file_size (26 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (5242880) = 141557760 >= total_size (137951695) ? YES
chunk 27: uppy: uploaded_file_size (27 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (1636815) = 143194575 >= total_size (137951695) ? YES
An example of what this looks like after the change, using the previous
chunk number to calculate uploaded_file_size:
chunk 26: resumable: uploaded_file_size (25 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (6879695) = 137951695 >= total_size (137951695) ? YES
chunk 26: uppy: uploaded_file_size (25 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (5242880) = 136314880 >= total_size (137951695) ? NO
chunk 27: uppy: uploaded_file_size (26 * 5242880) + current_chunk_size (1636815) = 137951695 >= total_size (137951695) ? YES
This commit changes the emoji uploader to use the UppyUploadMixin,
and makes some minor changes to the emoji uploader (tightening the
copy for drag and drop and adding a percentage for the upload).
Since no other uppy upload mixin components have needed to upload
multiple files so far, this necessitated adding a tracker for the
in progress uploads so we know when to reset the uploader once all
uploads are complete.
At the moment, the emoji uploader cannot be used for direct S3 uploads
because the admin emoji controller creates other records and does other
magic with the emojis. At some point we need to factor this kind of thing
into the ExternalUploadManager.transform! action to complete external
uploads.
* FIX: allowed_theme_ids should not be persisted in GlobalSettings
It was observed that the memoized value of `GlobalSetting.allowed_theme_ids` would be persisted across requests, which could lead to unpredictable/undesired behaviours in a multisite environment.
This change moves that logic out of GlobalSettings so that the returned theme IDs are correct for the current site.
Uses get_set_cache, which ultimately uses DistributedCache, which will take care of multisite issues for us.
* DEV: Remove HTML setting type and sanitization logic.
We concluded that we don't want settings to contain HTML, so I'm removing the setting type and sanitization logic. Additionally, we no longer allow the global-notice text to contain HTML.
I searched for usages of this setting type in the `all-the-plugins` repo and found none, so I haven't added a migration for existing settings.
* Mark Global notices containing links as HTML Safe.
Administrators can use second factor to confirm granting admin access
without using email. The old method of confirmation via email is still
used as a fallback when second factor is unavailable.
* FIX: Revoking admin or moderator status doesn't require refresh to delete/anonymize/merge user
On the /admin/users/<id>/<username> page, there are action buttons that are either visible or hidden depending on a few fields from the AdminDetailsSerializer: `can_be_deleted`, `can_be_anonymized`, `can_be_merged`, `can_delete_all_posts`.
These fields are updated when granting/revoking admin or moderator status. However, those updates were not being reflected on the page. E.g. if a user is granted moderation privileges, the 'anonymize user' and 'merge' buttons still appear on the page, which is inconsistent with the backend state of the user. It requires refreshing the page to update the state.
This commit fixes that issue, by syncing the client model state with the server state when handling a successful response from the server. Now, when revoking privileges, the buttons automatically appear without refreshing the page. Similarly, when granting moderator privileges, the buttons automatically disappear without refreshing the page.
* Add detailed user response to spec for changed routes.
Add tests to verify that the revoke_moderation, grant_moderation, and revoke_admin routes return a response formatted according to the AdminDetailedUserSerializer.
We shouldn't be checking if a user is allowed to do an action in the logger. We should be checking it just before we perform the action. In fact, guardians in the logger can make things even worse in case of a security bug. Let's say we forgot to check user's permissions before performing some action, but we still have a call to the guardian in the logger. In this case, a user would perform the action anyway, and this action wouldn't even be logged!
I've checked all cases and I confirm that we're safe to delete this calls from the logger.
I've added two calls to guardians in admin/user_controller. We didn't have security bugs there, because regular users can't access admin/... routes at all. But it's good to have calls to guardian in these methods anyway, neighboring methods have them.
