There is an edge case where the following occurs:
1. The user sets a bookmark reminder on a post/topic
2. The post/topic is changed to a PM before or after the reminder
fires, and the notification remains unread by the user
3. The user opens their bookmark reminder notification list
and they can still see the notification even though they cannot
access the topic anymore
There is a very low chance for information leaking here, since
the only thing that could be exposed is the topic title if it
changes to something sensitive.
This commit filters the bookmark unread notifications by using
the bookmarkable can_see? methods and also prevents sending
reminder notifications for bookmarks the user can no longer see.
Why this change?
This ensures that malicious requests cannot end up causing the logs to
quickly fill up. The default chosen is sufficient for most legitimate
requests to the Discourse application.
When truncation happens, parsing of logs in supported format like
lograge may break down.
Why this change?
The `PostsController#create` action allows arbitrary topic custom fields
to be set by any user that can create a topic. Without any restrictions,
this opens us up to potential security issues where plugins may be using
topic custom fields in security sensitive areas.
What does this change do?
1. This change introduces the `register_editable_topic_custom_field` plugin
API which allows plugins to register topic custom fields that are
editable either by staff users only or all users. The registered
editable topic custom fields are stored in `DiscoursePluginRegistry` and
is called by a new method `Topic#editable_custom_fields` which is then
used in the `PostsController#create` controller action. When an unpermitted custom fields is present in the `meta_data` params,
a 400 response code is returned.
2. Removes all reference to `meta_data` on a topic as it is confusing
since we actually mean topic custom fields instead.
Why this change?
As part of our ongoing efforts to security harden the Discourse
application, we are adding the `cross_origin_opener_policy_header` site setting
which allows the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` response header to be set on requests
that preloads the Discourse application. In more technical terms, only
GET requests that are not json or xhr will have the response header set.
The `cross_origin_opener_policy_header` site setting is hidden for now
for testing purposes and will either be released as a public site
setting or be remove if we decide to be opinionated and ship a default
for the `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy` response header.
This commit adds limits to themes and theme components on the:
- file size of about.json and .discourse-compatibility
- file size of theme assets
- number of files in a theme
The hidden site setting max_drafts_per_user defaults to 10_000 drafts per user.
The longest key should be "topic_<MAX_BIG_INT>" which is 25 characters.
What is the problem here?
The `selenium-webdriver` gem is responsible for downloading the
right version of the `chromedriver` binary and it downloads it into the
`~/.cache/selenium` folder. THe problem here is that when a user runs `bin/turbo_rspec spec/system`
for the first time, all of the processes will try to download the
`chromedriver` binary to the same path at the same time and will lead
to concurrency errors.
What is the fix here?
Before running any RSpec suite, we first check if the `.cache/selenium`
folder is present. If it is not present, we use a file system lock to
download the `chromedriver` binary such that other processes that runs
after will not need to install the `chromedriver` binary.
The long term fix here is to get `selenium-manager` to download the `chromedriver` binary to a unique path for each
process but the `--cache-path` option for `selenium-manager` is currently not supported in `selenium-webdriver`.
We can no long user Webdriver - SeleniumHQ/selenium#11066. Bumping selenium-webdriver did the trick, as well as manually setting the user_agent for mobile system specs. Unsure what changed to make this necessary, but it is necessary to get the app to boot in mobile view.
PresenceChannel configuration is cached using redis. That cache is used, and sometimes repopulated, during normal GET requests. When the primary redis server was readonly, that `redis.set` call would raise an error and cause the entire request to fail. Instead, we should ignore the failure and continue without populating the cache.
This commit introduces five rake tasks to help us with version bump procedures:
- `version_bump:beta` and `version_bump:minor_stable` are for our minor releases
- `version_bump:major_stable_prepare` and `version_bump:major_stable_merge` are for our major release process
- `version_bump:stage_security_fixes` is to collate multiple security fixes from private branches into a single branch for release
The scripts will stage the necessary commits in a branch and prompt you to create a PR for review. No changes to release branches or tags will be made without the PR being approved, and explicit confirmation of prompts in the scripts.
To avoid polluting the operator's primary working tree, the scripts create a temporary git worktree in a temporary directory and perform all checkouts/commits there.
FEATURE: Only approved flags for post counters
* Why was this change necessary?
The counters for flagged posts in the user's profile and user index from
the admin view include flags that were rejected, ignored or pending
review. This introduces unnecessary noise. Also the flagged posts
counter in the user's profile includes custom flags which add further
noise to this signal.
* How does it address the problem?
* Modifying User#flags_received_count to return posts with only approved
standard flags
* Refactoring User#number_of_flagged_posts to alias to
User#flags_received_count
* Updating the flagged post staff counter hyperlink to navigate to a
filtered view of that user's approved flagged posts to maintain
consistency with the counter
* Adding system tests for the profile page to cover the flagged posts
staff counter

Why this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#bulk`
where it does not dismiss new unred posts in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
We currently are accumulating orphaned upload references whenever drafts are deleted.
This change deals with future cases by adding a dependent strategy of delete_all on the Draft#upload_references association. (We don't really need destroy strategy here, since UploadReference is a simple data bag and there are no validations or callbacks on the model.)
It deals with existing cases through a migration that deletes all existing, orphaned draft upload references.
A previous change updated `ReviewableQueuedPost`'s `created_by`
to be consistent with other reviewable types. It assigns
the the creator of the post being queued to `target_created_by` and sets
the `created_by` to the creator of the reviewable itself.
This fix updates some of the `created_by` references missed during the
intial fix.
Internal oneboxes to posts that contained oneboxed github links to
commits or PRs with long enough commit messages to have the `show-more`
and the `excerpt hidden` classes in their html were being stripped of
their content resulting in empty internal oneboxes.

This fixes a regression introduced in:
0b3cf83e3c
By default, only 10 members are highlighted on group cards. However,
joining/leaving a big group via the buttons on the group card results in
up to 50 members being highlighted. For large groups, this causes the card
to move off-screen.
This happens because, while the initial render explicitly fetches only 10
members, we don't seem to apply the same limit as part of the member
reload performed when a user leaves/joins via the buttons on the card.
This PR fixes that by only making the first 10 users available for
highlight regardless of the number of members loaded in the store.
What is the problem here?
In multiple controllers, we are accepting a `limit` params but do not
impose any upper bound on the values being accepted. Without an upper
bound, we may be allowing arbituary users from generating DB queries
which may end up exhausing the resources on the server.
What is the fix here?
A new `fetch_limit_from_params` helper method is introduced in
`ApplicationController` that can be used by controller actions to safely
get the limit from the params as a default limit and maximum limit has
to be set. When an invalid limit params is encountered, the server will
respond with the 400 response code.
What is the context for this change?
Prior to this change, there is a bug in `TopicsController#reset_new`
where it does not dismiss new topics in sub-subcategories when the
`category_id` and `include_subcategories=true` params are present. This
is because the controller did not account for sub-subcategories when
fetching the category ids of the new topics that should be dismissed.
This commit fixes the problem by relying on the `Category.subcategory_ids` class
method which accounts for sub-subcategories.
Context of this change:
There are two site settings which an admin can configured to set the
default categories and tags that are shown for a new user. `default_navigation_menu_categories`
is used to determine the default categories while
`default_navigation_menu_tags` is used to determine the default tags.
Prior to this change when seeding the defaults, we will filter out the
categories/tags that the user do not have permission to see. However,
this means that when the user does eventually gain permission down the
line, the default categories and tags do not appear.
What does this change do?
With this commit, we have changed it such that all the categories and tags
configured in the `default_navigation_menu_categories` and
`default_navigation_menu_tags` site settings are seeded regardless of
whether the user's visibility of the categories or tags. During
serialization, we will then filter out the categories and tags which the
user does not have visibility of.
Embed Motoko service's primary URL is transiting from embed.smartcontracts.org to embed.motoko.org, this PR updates the Onebox logic to work for either domain.
This adds support for the `<=` and `<` version operators in `.discourse-compatibility` files. This allows for more flexibility (e.g. targeting the entire 3.1.x stable release via `< 3.2.0.beta1`), and should also make compatibility files to be more readable.
If an operator is not specified we default to `<=`, which matches the old behavior.
We recently added a "don't feed the trolls" feature which warns you about interacting with posts that have been flagged and are pending review. The problem is the warning persists even if an admin reviews the post and rejects the flag.
After this change we only consider active flags when deciding whether to show the warning or not.
Why this change?
We were verifying that a url for a section link in a custom sidebar
section is valid by passing the url string to `Router#recognize`.
If a `rootURL` has been set on the router, the url string that is passed
to `Router#recognize` has to start with the `rootURL`.
This commit fixes the problem by ensuring that `RouteInfoHelper` adds
the application subfolder path before calling `Router#recognize` on the
url string.
Why this change?
When setting up the `IntersectionObserver`, we did not account for the
top margin and padding causing no intersection event to fire when the
last tag is load into view. This commits fixes the problem by setting a
bottom margin using the `rootMargin` option when setting up the
`IntersectionObserver`.
This commit also improves the test coverage surrounding the loading of
more tags.
