Currently, Discourse rate limits all incoming requests by the IP address they
originate from regardless of the user making the request. This can be
frustrating if there are multiple users using Discourse simultaneously while
sharing the same IP address (e.g. employees in an office).
This commit implements a new feature to make Discourse apply rate limits by
user id rather than IP address for users at or higher than the configured trust
level (1 is the default).
For example, let's say a Discourse instance is configured to allow 200 requests
per minute per IP address, and we have 10 users at trust level 4 using
Discourse simultaneously from the same IP address. Before this feature, the 10
users could only make a total of 200 requests per minute before they got rate
limited. But with the new feature, each user is allowed to make 200 requests
per minute because the rate limits are applied on user id rather than the IP
address.
The minimum trust level for applying user-id-based rate limits can be
configured by the `skip_per_ip_rate_limit_trust_level` global setting. The
default is 1, but it can be changed by either adding the
`DISCOURSE_SKIP_PER_IP_RATE_LIMIT_TRUST_LEVEL` environment variable with the
desired value to your `app.yml`, or changing the setting's value in the
`discourse.conf` file.
Requests made with API keys are still rate limited by IP address and the
relevant global settings that control API keys rate limits.
Before this commit, Discourse's auth cookie (`_t`) was simply a 32 characters
string that Discourse used to lookup the current user from the database and the
cookie contained no additional information about the user. However, we had to
change the cookie content in this commit so we could identify the user from the
cookie without making a database query before the rate limits logic and avoid
introducing a bottleneck on busy sites.
Besides the 32 characters auth token, the cookie now includes the user id,
trust level and the cookie's generation date, and we encrypt/sign the cookie to
prevent tampering.

* FIX: register customOptions as select kit filter
We are allowing plugins to define custom filters which are added to CUSTOM_USER_SEARCH_OPTIONS const. However, we need to have static placeholder for custom filters, so those props will be passed, and we can use it later.
* fix
When 31035010af
was done it failed to take into account the case where the smtp_enabled
site setting was true, but the topic had no allowed groups / no
incoming email record, which caused errors for topics even with
nothing to do with group SMTP.
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.
* FEATURE: display warning when sharing a topic in a restricted category
If a topic belongs to a category that is not readable by everyone, display a text warning of "Only visible to members of groups: [group_a], [group_b]"
* DEV: Adding a new category means we need to bump this value
* DEV: pass category to showModal
- ensures arrow up/down doesn’t also apply to textarea while autocomplete is opened
- ensures esc is closing autocomplete and also not closing composer while autocomplete is opened
- Removes jquery
- Removes a not unregistered listener and uses component event
- Removes external-url class as it was only valid in one case of the dropdown
- Uses @action
- Tagless
- Other minor changes
After permanently deleting the first post of a topic the user was
sometimes stuck on the page because of an infinite loop. This problem
happened more often in Firefox.
This patch takes the small component we had for sticky avatars and adds
it into our core code base.
A small refactor has been made to have a `StickyAvatars` dedicated class.
When uploading emoji with the new uppy upload mixin, we were
not sending the name of the emoji in the payload, or more
accurately uppy was already using the file name as the name
value and we were not overriding it from data. This commit
changes the behaviour for single files uploaded via the uppy
upload mixin, by merging the file's meta object with this.data
from the parent component.
When there are multiple groups on a topic, we were selecting
the first from the topic allowed groups to act as the sender
email address when sending group SMTP replies via PostAlerter.
However, this was not ordered, and since there is no created_at
column on TopicAllowedGroup we cannot order this nicely, which
caused just a random group to be used (based on whatever postgres
decided it felt like that morning).
This commit changes the group used for SMTP sending to be the
group using the email_username of the to address of the first
incoming email for the topic, if there are more than one allowed
groups on the topic. Otherwise it just uses the only SMTP enabled
group.
Sometimes, a user may have a malformed email such as
`test@test.com<mailto:test@test.com` their email address,
and as a topic participant will be included as a CC email
when sending a GroupSmtpEmail. This causes the CC parsing to
fail and further down the line in Email::Sender the code
to check the CC addresses expects an array but gets a string
instead because of the parse failure.
Instead, we can just check if the CC addresses are valid
and drop them if they are not in the GroupSmtpEmail job.
