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.
Previously we used custom fields to denote a user was anonymous, this was
risky in that custom fields are prone to race conditions and are not
properly dedicated, missing constraints and so on.
The new table `anonymous_users` is properly protected. There is only one
possible shadow account per user, which is enforced using a constraint.
Every anonymous user will have a unique row in the new table.
We were blocking user registrations with same username and password,
but allowing usernames to be changed to be same as password later.
Also disallow names to be the same as password.
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 removes all uses of both `send` and `public_send` from consumers of
SiteSetting and instead introduces a `get` helper for dynamic lookup
This leads to much cleaner and safer code long term as we are always explicit
to test that a site setting is really there before sending an arbitrary
string to the class
It also removes a couple of risky stubs from the auth provider test
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
Minor fixes to add Rails 6 support to Discourse, we now will boot
with RAILS_MASTER=1, all specs pass
Only one tiny deprecation left
Largest change was the way ActiveModel:Errors changed interface a
bit but there is a simple backwards compat way of working it
"Rejecting" a user in the queue is equivalent to deleting them, which
would then making it impossible to review rejected users. Now we store
information about the user in the payload so if they are deleted things
still display in the Rejected view.
Secondly, if a user is destroyed outside of the review queue, it will
now automatically "Reject" that queue item.
Conversely, if a user is deactivated the reviewable should automatically
be rejected.
Before this fix, if a user was not active they'd still show in the
review queue but without an "Approve" button which was confusing.
Includes support for flags, reviewable users and queued posts, with REST API
backwards compatibility.

This corrects 2 issues:
First is a regression with d7c08e21 for some reason dependent :delete_all
respects default scopes where-as dependent :destroy bypasses it.
Secondly, we were keeping orphan user actions around on user destroy, this
ensures we remove all the user actions not only ones that originated by
the user.
So for example: if I like a post of user A we create a user action saying I
did that, but once user A is deleted we were not removing the action leading
to an orphan action in the database.
Users can have 100s of thousands of post and user actions, we do not want
to destroy each individually cause the tracking is enormous and the amount
of queries we would need is enormous.
This gives up on the `after_commit` hook on `post_actions` which ships a message
to clients to synchronize a post, so some phantom post_actions may remain
in the UX in the rare occasion we delete a user. The phantoms will be gone
on reload.
Changes to functionality
- Removed syncing of user metadata including gender, location etc.
These are no longer available to standard Facebook applications.
- Removed the remote 'revoke' functionality. No other providers have
it, and it does not appear to be standard practice in other apps.
- The 'facebook_no_email' event is no longer logged. The system can
cope fine with a missing email address.
Data is migrated to the new user_associated_accounts table.
facebook_user_infos can be dropped once we are confident the data has
been migrated successfully.
At the moment core providers are hard-coded in Javascript, and plugin providers get added to the JS payload at compile time. This refactor means that we only ship enabled providers to the client.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder
See more at: https://github.com/discourse/mini_sql
This updates tests to use latest rails 5 practice
and updates ALL dependencies that could be updated
Performance testing shows that performance has not regressed
if anything it is marginally faster now.
- remove inactive user report and replace with posts
- clean up internals so grouping by week happens on client
- when switching periods old report was not destroyed leading to bugs
- calculate trend based on previous interval ... not previous 30 days
- show percentages for mau/dau
- be more careful about utc date usage
- show uniqu and click through rate on search panel
- publish key of report with report so we only load the correct one
- subscribe earlier in channel in case of concurrency issues
* Feature: Push notifications for Android
Notification config for desktop and mobile are merged.
Desktop notifications stay as they are for desktop views.
If mobile mode, push notifications are enabled.
Added push notification subscriptions in their own table, rather than through
custom fields.
Notification banner prompts appear for both mobile and desktop when enabled.
* This looks like we're doing the same thing but
we're debugging a race condition where a user
can be created without an email record. Therefore,
we prefer the more obvious method of assigning an
association.
implemented review items.
Blocking previous codes - valid 2-factor auth tokens can only be authenticated once/30 seconds.
I played with updating the “last used” any time the token was attempted but that seemed to be overkill, and frustrating as to why a token would fail.
Translatable texts.
Move second factor logic to a helper class.
Move second factor specific controller endpoints to its own controller.
Move serialization logic for 2-factor details in admin user views.
Add a login ember component for de-duplication
Fix up code formatting
Change verbiage of google authenticator
add controller tests:
second factor controller tests
change email tests
change password tests
admin login tests
add qunit tests - password reset, preferences
fix: check for 2factor on change email controller
fix: email controller - only show second factor errors on attempt
fix: check against 'true' to enable second factor.
Add modal for explaining what 2fa with links to Google Authenticator/FreeOTP
add two factor to email signin link
rate limit if second factor token present
add rate limiter test for second factor attempts
Setting a user's default groups based on their email address should only be done once, ie. when they confirm their email address.
Previously we were doing this everytime we'd save a user record 🤷
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
also publish seen_notification_id so we can tell what is new and what is old
cleanup controller so it correctly checks user
fix bug around clearing notification when people click mark read
This feature ensures session cookie lifespan is extended
when user is online.
Also decreases session timeout from 90 to 60 days.
Ensures all users (including logged on ones) get expiring sessions.

As it stands we load up user records quite frequently on the topic pages,
this in turn pulls all the columns for the users being selected, just to
discard them after they are loaded
New structure keeps all options in a discrete table, this is better organised
and allows us to easily add more column without worrying about bloating the
user table
UX: improve messaging so notifications list is far more stable
PERF: improve performance of notifcation lookup queries
- Add feature "SetTransientHeader" that allows shipping info to server
in the next Ajax request
- remove local storage hack used for notifications
- amend lookupStale to return hydrated objects, move logic into store
- stop magically clearing various notifications (likes, invitee accepted, group_summary, granted badge)
Messages are now in 3 buckets
- Inbox for all new messages
- Sent for all sent messages
- Archive for all messages you are done with
You can select messages from your Inbox or Sent and move them to your Archive,
you can move messages out of your Archive similarly
Similar concept applied to group messages, except that archiving and unarchiving
will apply to all group members
Re-organise user page so it is easier to find interesting info
split it into tabs
- Introduce notifications and messages tabs
- Stop couting stuff for the user page to speed up rendering
- Suppress more information when viewing your own profile
Group owners are regular users that can add or remove users to a group
The Admin UX allows admins to appoint group owners
The public group UX will display group owners first and unlock UI to
add and remove members
Group owners can only be appointed on non automatic groups
Group owners may not appoint another group owner
On sites that don't otherwise configure an avatar fallback, Discourse will
now tell the client to get its letter avatars from a location which nginx
proxies to the centralised `avatars.discourse.org` service. This alleviates
privacy concerns, whilst still providing some degree of performance benefit
(no need for every site to delay avatar response by 300ms for image
rendering).
It is still possible to gain the benefits of global image caching and the
lower latency of requesting directly from a CDN, by explicitly changing the
`external_system_avatars_url` site setting to
`https://avatars.discourse.org/letter/{first_letter}/{color}/{size}.png`.
