Backports the following:
* 40e8912395
* bbcb69461f
Which were showing an error when users were
trying to claim invites multiple times and
a subsequent follow-up fix.
This commit adds some protections in InviteRedeemer to ensure that email
can never be nil, which could cause issues with inviting the invited
person to private topics since there was an incorrect inner join.
If the email is nil and the invite is scoped to an email, we just use
that invite.email unconditionally. If a redeeming_user (an existing
user) is passed in when redeeming an email, we use their email to
override the passed in email. Otherwise we just use the passed in
email. We now raise an error after all this if the email is still nil.
This commit also adds some tests to catch the private topic fix, and
some general improvements and comments around the invite code.
This commit also includes a migration to delete TopicAllowedUser records
for users who were mistakenly added to topics as part of the invite
redemption process.
Before this commit, we did not have guardian checks in place to determine if a
topic's title associated with a user badge should be displayed or not.
This means that the topic title of topics with restricted access
could be leaked to anon and users without access if certain conditions
are met. While we will not specify the conditions required, we have internally
assessed that the odds of meeting such conditions are low.
With this commit, we will now apply a guardian check to ensure that the
current user is able to see a topic before the topic's title is included
in the serialized object of a `UserBadge`.
* SECURITY: moderator shouldn't be able to import a theme via API.
* DEV: apply `AdminConstraint` for all the "themes" routes.

In certain situations, a logged in user can redeem an invite with an email that
either doesn't match the invite's email or does not adhere to the email domain
restriction of an invite link. The impact of this flaw is aggrevated
when the invite has been configured to add the user that accepts the
invite into restricted groups.

This security fix affects sites which have `SiteSetting.must_approve_users`
enabled. There are intentional and unintentional cases where invited
users can be auto approved and are deemed to have skipped the staff approval process.
Instead of trying to reason about when auto-approval should happen, we have decided that
enabling the `must_approve_users` setting going forward will just mean that all new users
must be explicitly approved by a staff user in the review queue. The only case where users are auto
approved is when the `auto_approve_email_domains` site setting is used.

After this commit, category group permissions can only be seen by users
that are allowed to manage a category. In the past, we inadvertently
included a category's group permissions settings in `CategoriesController#show`
and `CategoriesController#find_by_slug` endpoints for normal users when
those settings are only a concern to users that can manage a category.
When staff visits the user profile of another user, the `email` field
in the model is empty. In this case, staff cannot send the reset email
password because nothing is passed in the `login` field.
This commit changes the behavior for staff users to allow resetting
password by username instead.
The UI used to request a password reset by username when the user was
logged in. This did not work when hide_email_already_taken site setting
was enabled, which disables the lookup-by-username functionality.
This commit also introduces a check to ensure that the parameter is an
email when hide_email_already_taken is enabled as the single allowed
type is email (no usernames are allowed).
* FIX: Mark invites flash messages as HTML safe.
This change should be safe as all user inputs included in the errors are sanitized before sending it back to the client.
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-tags-are-explicit-after-latest-update/214220
* If somebody adds a new error message that includes user input and doesn't sanitize it, using html-safe suddenly becomes unsafe again. As an extra layer of protection, we make the client sanitize the error message received from the backend.
* Escape user input instead of sanitizing
* FEATURE: Export topics to markdown
The route `/raw/TOPIC_ID` will now export whole topics (paginated to 100
posts) in a markdown format.
See https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/152185/12
This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
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
The new warnings cover more cases and more accurate. Most of the
warnings will be visible only to staff members because otherwise they
would leak information about user's preferences.
Also:
* Remove an unused method (#fill_email)
* Replace a method that was used just once (#generate_username) with `SecureRandom.alphanumeric`
* Remove an obsolete dev puma `tmp/restart` file logic
* File.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
File.exist?
* Dir.exists? is deprecated and removed in Ruby 3.2 in favor of
Dir.exist?
- switches to a raster image QR code so it can be long-pressed (or right

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.
* FEATURE: hide_email_address_taken forces use of email in forgot password form
This strengthens this site setting which is meant to be used to harden sites
that are experiencing abuse on forgot password routes.
Previously we would only deny letting people know if forgot password worked on not
New change also bans usage of username for forgot password when enabled
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
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
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.

We don't need it anymore. Actually, I removed using of it on the client side a long time ago, when I was working on improving blank page syndrome on user activity pages (see https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/14311).
This PR also removes some old resource strings that we don't use anymore. We have new strings for blank pages.
Currently the Message-IDs we send out for outbound email
are not unique; for a post they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID@HOST
And for a topic they look like:
topic/TOPIC_ID@HOST
This commit changes the outbound Message-IDs to also have
a random suffix before the host, so the new format is
like this:
topic/TOPIC_ID/POST_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
Or:
topic/TOPIC_ID.RANDOM_SUFFIX@HOST
This should help with email deliverability. This change
is backwards-compatible, the old Message-ID format will
still be recognized in the mail receiver flow, so people
will still be able to reply using Message-IDs, In-Reply-To,
and References headers that have already been sent.
This commit also refactors Message-ID related logic
to a central location, and adds judicious amounts of
tests and documentation.
When redirecting to login, we store a destination_url cookie, which the user is then redirected to after login. We never want the user to be redirected to a JSON URL. Instead, we should return a 403 in these situations.
This should also be much less confusing for API consumers - a 403 is a better representation than a 302.

`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.
Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
* REFACTOR: Improve support for consolidating notifications.
Before this commit, we didn't have a single way of consolidating notifications. For notifications like group summaries, we manually removed old ones before creating a new one. On the other hand, we used an after_create callback for likes and group membership requests, which caused unnecessary work, as we need to delete the record we created to replace it with a consolidated one.
We now have all the consolidation rules centralized in a single place: the consolidation planner class. Other parts of the app looking to create a consolidable notification can do so by calling Notification#consolidate_or_save!, instead of the default Notification#create! method.
Finally, we added two more rules: one for re-using existing group summaries and another for deleting duplicated dashboard problems PMs notifications when the user is tracking the moderator's inbox. Setting the threshold to one forces the planner to apply this rule every time.
I plan to add plugin support for adding custom rules in another PR to keep this one relatively small.
* DEV: Introduces a plugin API for consolidating notifications.
This commit removes the `Notification#filter_by_consolidation_data` scope since plugins could have to define their criteria. The Plan class now receives two blocks, one to query for an already consolidated notification, which we'll try to update, and another to query for existing ones to consolidate.
It also receives a consolidation window, which accepts an ActiveSupport::Duration object, and filter notifications created since that value.
Recently, the wrong new behavior appeared – we started to suggest to invited users usernames like "user1".
To reproduce:
1. Create an invitation with default settings, do not restrict it to email
2. Copy an invitation link and follow it in incognito mode
See username already filled, with eg “user1”. See screenshot. Should be empty.
This bug was very likely introduced by my recent changes to UserNameSuggester.
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
Currently when a user creates posts that are moderated (for whatever
reason), a popup is displayed saying the post needs approval and the
total number of the user’s pending posts. But then this piece of
information is kind of lost and there is nowhere for the user to know
what are their pending posts or how many there are.
This patch solves this issue by adding a new “Pending” section to the
user’s activity page when there are some pending posts to display. When
there are none, then the “Pending” section isn’t displayed at all.
