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.
We need this in other places, this commit moves clipboardCopy
to the utilities.js lib. Had to remove use of Promise as well because
lib/utilities cannot import it, otherwise it will cause a mini racer error.
Adds up and down buttons next to the inputs of value lists when there is more than 1 item present. This helps to re-order the items in the value lists if necessary.
This commit adds a hover effect for drag and drop in
the admin emoji uploader. It also changes the "Add New
Emoji" button to open the file selector; previously it
was useless because it was disabled unless a name was
entered (which is not even a requirement for the emoji)
and also it didn't actually do anything on click even
if it wasn't disabled.
Now we have a way of adding files without having to drag
and drop them, which is nice.
Also in this PR, there was no indication before that the upload was
complete apart from the button becoming enabled again.
This commit adds the highlight class to the emoji list
and removes it once the highlight fade animation is done,
like we do for new posts.
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
This commit should be a no-op for all existing core outlets. Outlets which are introduced by themes/plugins may see a change in behavior, and should follow the steps below if they want to maintain their previous behavior.
`tagName="" connectorTagName=""` is almost always the correct choice for plugin outlets. 40eba8cd introduced a `noTags=true` shortcut which achieved this, and left a comment saying it should be the future default. This commit does exactly that. To avoid any breaking changes for plugins, all existing plugin outlets have been reviewed and adjusted by following this logic:
1) If `noTags=true`, remove the `noTags` parameter, and do not complete any further steps
2) If `tagName` is not specified, set `tagName="span"` (the previous default)
3) If `connectorTagName` is not specified, set `selectorTagName="div"` (the previous default)
4) If `tagName=""`, remove it
5) If `connectorTagName=""`, remove it
The updates were accomplished with the help of a ruby script:
```ruby
def removeAttr(tag, attribute)
tag = tag.sub /\s#{attribute}="?\w*"? /, " "
tag = tag.sub /\s#{attribute}="?\w*"?}}/, "}}"
tag = tag.sub /^\s*#{attribute}="?\w*"?\n/, ""
tag
end
files = Dir.glob("app/assets/javascripts/**/*.hbs")
puts "Checking #{files.count} files..."
files.each do |f|
content = File.read(f)
count = 0
edits = 0
content.gsub!(/{{\s*plugin-outlet.*?}}/m) do |match|
count += 1
result = match
noTags = result.include?("noTags=true")
tagName = result[/tagName="(\w*)"/, 1]
connectorTagName = result[/connectorTagName="(\w*)"/, 1]
if noTags
result = removeAttr(result, "noTags")
else
if connectorTagName == ""
result = removeAttr(result, "connectorTagName")
elsif connectorTagName.nil?
result = result.sub(/name="[\w-]+"/) { |m| "#{m} connectorTagName=\"div\"" }
end
if tagName == ""
result = removeAttr(result, "tagName")
elsif tagName.nil?
result = result.sub(/name="[\w-]+"/) { |m| "#{m} tagName=\"span\"" }
end
end
edits += 1 if match != result
result
end
puts "#{count} outlets, #{edits} edited -> #{f}"
File.write(f, content)
end
```
This commit adds a check that runs regularly as per
2d68e5d942 which tests the
credentials of groups with SMTP or IMAP enabled. If any issues
are found with those credentials a high priority problem is added to the
admin dashboard.
This commit also formats the admin dashboard differently if
there are high priority problems, bringing them to the top of
the list and highlighting them.
The problem will be cleared if the issue is fixed before the next
problem check, or if the group's settings are updated with a valid
credential.
Now that d5e380e5c1 has been
committed there is nothing in the codebase that uses either
resumable.js or the old backup-uploader component.
R.I.P resumable.js
This commit removes the enable_experimental_backup_uploader site
setting and the flags in backups-index.hbs to make the uppy
backup uploader the main one from now on.
A follow-up commit will delete the old backup uploader code and
also remove resumable.js from the project.
This commit introduces scheduled problem checks for the admin dashboard, which are long running or otherwise cumbersome problem checks that will be run every 10 minutes rather than every time the dashboard is loaded. If these scheduled checks add a problem, the problem will remain until it is cleared or until the scheduled job runs again.
An example of a check that should be scheduled is validating credentials against an external provider.
This commit also introduces the concept of a `priority` to the problems generated by `AdminDashboardData` and the scheduled checks. This is `low` by default, and can be set to `high`, but this commit does not change any part of the UI with this information, only adds a CSS class.
I will be making a follow up PR to check group SMTP credentials.
In the composer, we already only allow for S3 multipart uploads
if enable_direct_s3_uploads is true, so in the backups uploader
that is based on Uppy we want to do the same thing. In future
if self-hosters need some way to not use S3 multipart in these
scenarios for whatever reason we can revisit this then (which
should be as simple as adding a enable_multipart_s3_uploads site
setting).
Some reports, like the Web Crawler User Agents report, have very long strings that need to be truncated when displayed. However, there is no way to see the full value without exporting the report or inspecting the elements using dev tools. This PR set a `title` attribute with the full value to the reports `<td>` elements so that the full value is shown on hover.
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.
- 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
This PR introduces a new `enable_experimental_backup_uploads` site setting (default false and hidden), which when enabled alongside `enable_direct_s3_uploads` will allow for direct S3 multipart uploads of backup .tar.gz files.
To make multipart external uploads work with both the S3BackupStore and the S3Store, I've had to move several methods out of S3Store and into S3Helper, including:
* presigned_url
* create_multipart
* abort_multipart
* complete_multipart
* presign_multipart_part
* list_multipart_parts
Then, S3Store and S3BackupStore either delegate directly to S3Helper or have their own special methods to call S3Helper for these methods. FileStore.temporary_upload_path has also removed its dependence on upload_path, and can now be used interchangeably between the stores. A similar change was made in the frontend as well, moving the multipart related JS code out of ComposerUppyUpload and into a mixin of its own, so it can also be used by UppyUploadMixin.
Some changes to ExternalUploadManager had to be made here as well. The backup direct uploads do not need an Upload record made for them in the database, so they can be moved to their final S3 resting place when completing the multipart upload.
This changeset is not perfect; it introduces some special cases in UploadController to handle backups that was previously in BackupController, because UploadController is where the multipart routes are located. A subsequent pull request will pull these routes into a module or some other sharing pattern, along with hooks, so the backup controller and the upload controller (and any future controllers that may need them) can include these routes in a nicer way.
This commit, while changing the watched word uploader to use
uppy, also fixes a minor bug with the UppyUploadMixin where
the file input's value was not cleared after reset, which
prevented subsequent file uploads. The composer mixin already
has this fix.
Instead of using image-uploader, which relies on the old
UploadMixin, we can now use the uppy-image-uploader which
uses the new UppyUploadMixin which is stable enough and
supports both regular XHR uploads and direct S3 uploads,
controlled by a site setting (default to XHR).
At some point it may make sense to rename uppy-image-uploader
back to image-uploader, once we have gone through plugins
etc. and given a bit of deprecation time period.
This commit also fixes `for_private_message`, `for_site_setting`,
and `pasted` flags not being sent via uppy uploads onto the
UploadCreator, both via regular XHR uploads and also through
external/multipart uploads.
The uploaders changed are:
* site setting images
* badge images
* category logo
* category background
* group flair
* profile background
* profile card background
The host's category was successfully updated on the database, but the category property was not properly set when rendering the component for the first time.
* 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.
Translations are often multi-line. Using a regular `<input>` doesn't allow newlines, so if you try to edit a multiline theme translation, all the line breaks will be removed.
This commit updates the theme translations UI to use `<textarea>`, just like the core translation editing UI.
Major changes included:
- better support for screen readers
- trapping focus in modals
- better tabbing order in composer
- alerts on no content found/number of items found
- better autofocus in modals
- mini-tag-chooser is now a multi-select component
- each multi-select-component will now display selection on one row
* 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.
This PR adds a hover title to a few columns on the admin users' page
/admin/users/list/active
The hover title will show the date in full format on those columns with shortened dates
Using an invalid value was allowed. This commit tries to automatically
fix the color by adding missing # symbol or will show an error to the
user if it is not possible and it is not a CSS color either.
Currently when bulk-awarding a badge that can be granted multiple times, users in the CSV file are granted the badge once no matter how many times they're listed in the file and only if they don't have the badge already.
This PR adds a new option to the Badge Bulk Award feature so that it's possible to grant users a badge even if they already have the badge and as many times as they appear in the CSV file.
* FEATURE: add penalty history when silencing a user
Display penalty history (last 6 months) when silencing/suspending a user
* FEATURE: allow default penalty values to be chosen
Adds a site setting that designates default penalty values in hours.
Silence/suspend modals will auto-fill in the default values, but otherwise
will still allow moderators to pick and overwrite values as normal.
First silence/suspend: first value
Second silence/suspend: second value
etc.
Penalty counts are forgiven at the same rate as tl3 promotion requirements do.

There is a big difference between regular watched words and regular
expressions and this has been confusing in the past. This notice adds
an explanation.
This commit also reorganizes the code of the test modal.
Note that this commit will also disable daily grouping for datasets with more than 30 data points. This will also smartly do the grouping by month when grouping a full year.
It was not clear that replace watched words can be used to replace text
with URLs. This introduces a new watched word type that makes it easier
to understand.
1. It defaults to `cache: true` already
2. Setting it to `false` for non-GET request doesn't do anything
3. We were correcting `cache: false` GET requests to use `cache: true`
…so setting it to anything at all, for any type of request doesn't make sense (anymore)
When editing the files for a theme in the admin dashboard, typing "cmd+s" (a common key-binding to save in most text editors) used to engage the browser's default "save page" dialogue.
This commit adds a key-binding to the ace editor that saves the file.
Now, the "cmd+s" (and "ctrl+s" for windows) key-binding does the same action as the save button.
When the admin creates a new custom field they can specify if that field should be searchable or not.
That setting is taken into consideration for quick search results.
Note that this is only applied on date-input and not the old date-picker for now.
This commit is also slightly modifying admin report dates form to ensure the native picker is correctly used, as a result: it doesn’t auto refresh on date change and fixes a border bug.
To add an extra layer of security, we sanitize settings before shipping them to the client. We don't sanitize those that have the "html" type.
The CookedPostProcessor already uses Loofah for sanitization, so I chose to also use it for this. I added it to our gemfile since we installed it as a transitive dependency.
Find & Replace and Autotag watched words were not completely exported
and import did not work with these either. This commit changes the
input and output format to CSV, which allows for a secondary column.
This change is backwards compatible because a CSV file with only one
column has one value per line.
Currently the process of adding a custom image to badge is quite clunky; you have to upload your image to a topic, and then copy the image URL and pasting it in a text field. Besides being clucky, if the topic or post that contains the image is deleted, the image will be garbage-collected in a few days and the badge will lose the image because the application is not that the image is referenced by a badge.
This commit improves that by adding a proper image uploader widget for badge images.
Some git repos have a different ssh url scheme than github and we should
support them.
This change updates our regex format to account for repos that don't
start with "git", but are still valid ssh urls.
Also I added some tests to account for the various formats and to ensure
we don't show the public key when using https urls.
See: https://meta.discourse.org/t/182668
This commit includes other various improvements to watched words.
auto_silence_first_post_regex site setting was removed because it overlapped
with 'require approval' watched words.
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.
This PR is the first step towards replacing our `{{user-selector}}` and eventually deprecating and removing it from our codebase. Some of `{{user-selector}}` problems are:
1. It's called `{{user-selector}}`, but in reality in can also select groups and emails.
2. It's an Ember component, yet it doesn't have a handlebars template and uses jQuery to render itself and modify the DOM. An example of this problem is when you want to clear the selected users programmatically, see [this](6c155dba77/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/components/user-selector.js (L179-L185)).
3. We now have select kit which does very similar things but a lot better.
This PR introduces `{{email-group-user-chooser}}` which is meant to replace `{{user-selector}}`. It extends select kit and has the same features that `{{user-selector}}` has. `{{user-selector}}` is still used in a few places in core, but they'll all be replaced with the new component in a separate commit.
Once `{{user-selector}}` is not used anywhere in core, it'll be deprecated and then removed after the 2.7 release.
The user summary's delete button UX relied on the "admin-user.js" destroy function, which was called through the "admin-tools" service. After #11724, we no longer put UX behavior on Ember models.
We only want to warn admins when both settings are enabled. When "set locale from accept language header" setting is enabled, the user locale will be set based on the header when they register an account on the site, which could be confusing.
- Improve warning message.
- Only display the warning if the language has a fallback and either "allow_user_locale", or "set_locale_from_accept_language_header" are enabled.
Admins can now edit translations in different languages without having to change their locale. We display a warning when there's a fallback language set.
A while ago we made a change to display a warning after installing a theme component when the admin tries to leave the page without adding the new installed component to any themes (see 5e29ae3ef5).
However there is an edge case that we forgot to address, and that's when an admin installs a component and then immediately opens the install modal again to install another one which can result in the warning being shown twice at the same time.
This PR prevents that by showing the warning when opening the install modal if the conditions are met (new component and not added to any themes) instead of showing it after installing the second component.
Installing multiple copies of the same theme/component is possible, but you rarely need to actually have multiple copies installed. We've seen many times new admins installing duplicates of components because they were unaware it was already installed. This PR makes the theme installer modal loop through the existing themes when you click on 'install', and if there is a theme with a URL that matches the URL you entered, a warning will show up and you will need to click 'install' again to proceed.
We want to wrap the `Ember.run.debounce` function and internally call `Ember.run` instead when running tests.
This commit changes discourseDebounce to work the same way as `Ember.run.debounce`.
Now that `discourseDebounce` works exactly like `Ember.run.debounce`, let's replace it and only use `DiscourseDebounce` from now on.
Move debounce to discourse-common to be able to reuse it in different bundles
Keep old debounce file for backwards-compatibility
Being that system badges ship with every instance of Discourse, we've opted to define the name, description, and long description in our locales files to promote translation into other languages. When an admin visited the overview page of a system badge in their admin panel, they were met with disabled inputs for these text properties. The problem is that we failed to educate the admin that the text needs to be managed via the site text customization settings.
This change adds a small "Customize Text" link under theses inputs that takes the admin to the specific site text customization where they can make desired changes.
Force pushing a commit to a theme repository used to break the updater,
because the system was not able to count the commits behind the old and
new version. This operation failed because a force push deleted the old
commits.
The user was prompted with a simple "500 server error" message.
Themes marked for auto update will be automatically updated when
Discourse is updated. This is triggered by discourse_docker or
docker_manager running Rake task 'themes:update'.
Allowing the editing of remote themes has been something Discourse has advised against for some time. This commit removes the ability to edit or upload files to remote themes from Admin > Customize to enforce the recommended practice.
This makes it much easier to check the staff action logs for a specific site setting. A small history icon will appear when hovering over a site setting name. On click, you will be taken to the pre-filtered staff action log for the site setting.
Users could be silenced or suspended by two staff members at the same time and
would not be aware of it. This commit shows an error message if another penalty
has been applied.
We were trying to observe a non-ember object which is undefined
behavior and was leaking to odd bugs. This replaces the `filter` object
with an Ember Object and things seem to work.
Prior to this fix, weekly could be 8 days and we could have differences between period chooser text and actual results in the chart.
A good followup to this PR would be to add custom date ranges in period-chooser component.
