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 reverts commit e3de45359f.
We need to improve out strategy by adding a cache breaker with this change ... some assets on CDNs and clients may have incorrect CORS headers which can cause stuff to break.
The download link on the lightbox for images was not downloading the image if the upload was marked secure, because the code in the upload controller route was not respecting the dl=1 param for force download.
This PR fixes this so the download link works for secure images as well as regular ligthboxed images.
* strip out the href and xlink:href attributes from use element that
are _not_ anchors in svgs which can be used for XSS
* adding the content-disposition: attachment ensures that
uploaded SVGs cannot be opened and executed using the XSS exploit.
svgs embedded using an img tag do not suffer from the same exploit
* Change S3Helper::DOWNLOAD_URL_EXPIRES_AFTER_SECONDS to 5 minutes, which controls presigned URL expiry and secure-media route cache time.
* This is done because of the composer preview refreshing while typing causes a lot of requests sent to our server because of the short URL expiry. If this ends up being not enough we can always increase the time or explore other avenues (e.g. GitHub has a 7 day validity for secure URLs)
Signed S3 URLs are valid for 15 seconds, so we can safely allow the browser to cache them for 10 seconds. This should help with large numbers of requests when composing a post with many images.
If the “secure media” site setting is enabled then ALL files uploaded to Discourse (images, video, audio, pdf, txt, zip etc. etc.) will follow the secure media rules. The “prevent anons from downloading files” setting will no longer have any bearing on upload security. Basically, the feature will more appropriately be called “secure uploads” instead of “secure media”.
This is being done because there are communities out there that would like all attachments and media to be secure based on category rules but still allow anonymous users to download attachments in public places, which is not possible in the current arrangement.
Meta report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/short-url-secure-uploads-s3/144224
* if the show_short route is hit for an upload that is
secure, we redirect to the secure presigned URL. however
this was not taking into account multisite so the db name
was left off the path which broke the presigned URL
* we now use the correct url_for method if we know the
upload (like in the show_short case) which takes into
account multisite
### General Changes and Duplication
* We now consider a post `with_secure_media?` if it is in a read-restricted category.
* When uploading we now set an upload's secure status straight away.
* When uploading if `SiteSetting.secure_media` is enabled, we do not check to see if the upload already exists using the `sha1` digest of the upload. The `sha1` column of the upload is filled with a `SecureRandom.hex(20)` value which is the same length as `Upload::SHA1_LENGTH`. The `original_sha1` column is filled with the _real_ sha1 digest of the file.
* Whether an upload `should_be_secure?` is now determined by whether the `access_control_post` is `with_secure_media?` (if there is no access control post then we leave the secure status as is).
* When serializing the upload, we now cook the URL if the upload is secure. This is so it shows up correctly in the composer preview, because we set secure status on upload.
### Viewing Secure Media
* The secure-media-upload URL will take the post that the upload is attached to into account via `Guardian.can_see?` for access permissions
* If there is no `access_control_post` then we just deliver the media. This should be a rare occurrance and shouldn't cause issues as the `access_control_post` is set when `link_post_uploads` is called via `CookedPostProcessor`
### Removed
We no longer do any of these because we do not reuse uploads by sha1 if secure media is enabled.
* We no longer have a way to prevent cross-posting of a secure upload from a private context to a public context.
* We no longer have to set `secure: false` for uploads when uploading for a theme component.
if SiteSetting.secure_media is disabled we still want to
redirect to the signed url for uploads that are marked as
secure because their ACLs are probably still private
* Add a rake task to disable secure media. This sets all uploads to `secure: false`, changes the upload ACL to public, and rebakes all the posts using the uploads to make sure they point to the correct URLs. This is in a transaction for each upload with the upload being updated the last step, so if the task fails it can be resumed.
* Also allow viewing media via the secure url if secure media is disabled, redirecting to the normal CDN url, because otherwise media links will be broken while we go and rebake all the posts + update ACLs
This PR introduces a new secure media setting. When enabled, it prevent unathorized access to media uploads (files of type image, video and audio). When the `login_required` setting is enabled, then all media uploads will be protected from unauthorized (anonymous) access. When `login_required`is disabled, only media in private messages will be protected from unauthorized access.
A few notes:
- the `prevent_anons_from_downloading_files` setting no longer applies to audio and video uploads
- the `secure_media` setting can only be enabled if S3 uploads are already enabled and configured
- upload records have a new column, `secure`, which is a boolean `true/false` of the upload's secure status
- when creating a public post with an upload that has already been uploaded and is marked as secure, the post creator will raise an error
- when enabling or disabling the setting on a site with existing uploads, the rake task `uploads:ensure_correct_acl` should be used to update all uploads' secure status and their ACL on S3
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
* Support private uploads in S3
* Use localStore for local avatars
* Add job to update private upload ACL on S3
* Test multisite paths
* update ACL for private uploads in migrate_to_s3 task
This also corrects FileHelper.download so it supports "follow_redirect"
correctly (it used to always follow 1 redirect) and adds a `validate_url`
param that will bypass all uri validation if set to false (default is true)
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
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
If for some reason `Discourse.store.path_for` returns `nil`, the
forum would throw an error rather than returning 404.
Why would it be `nil`? One cause could be changing the type of
file store and having the `url` field no longer be relative.
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
