This will replace `enable_personal_messages` and
`min_trust_to_send_messages`, this commit introduces
the setting `personal_message_enabled_groups`
and uses it in all places that `enable_personal_messages`
and `min_trust_to_send_messages` currently apply.
A migration is included to set `personal_message_enabled_groups`
based on the following rules:
* If `enable_personal_messages` was false, then set
`personal_message_enabled_groups` to `3`, which is
the staff auto group
* If `min_trust_to_send_messages` is not default (1)
and the above condition is false, then set the
`personal_message_enabled_groups` setting to
the appropriate auto group based on the trust level
* Otherwise just set `personal_message_enabled_groups` to
11 which is the TL1 auto group
After follow-up PRs to plugins using these old settings, we will be
able to drop the old settings from core, in the meantime I've added
DEPRECATED notices to their descriptions and added them
to the deprecated site settings list.
This commit also introduces a `_map` shortcut method definition
for all `group_list` site settings, e.g. `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups`
also has `SiteSetting.personal_message_enabled_groups_map` available,
which automatically splits the setting by `|` and converts it into
an array of integers.
* FIX: min/max username length limits weren't validated
The custom validators introduced in e0d7cda made so we ignored the mix
and max values set on site_settings.yml. That change allowed admins to
set values outside of the range defined on the yaml file.

At some point in the past we decided to rename the 'regular' notification state of topics/categories to 'normal'. However, some UI copy was missed when the initial renaming was done so this commit changes the spots that were missed to the new name.
Twitter does not allow SVGs to be used for twitter:image
metadata (see https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/cards/overview/markup)
so we should fall back to the site logo if the image option
provided to `crawlable_meta_data` or SiteSetting.site_twitter_summary_large_image_url
is an SVG, and do not add the meta tag for twitter:image at all
if the site logo is an SVG.
Admins won't be able to disable strip_image_metadata if they don't
disable composer_media_optimization_image_enabled first since the later
will strip the same metadata on client during upload, making disabling
the former have no effect.

* Chinese segmenetation will continue to rely on cppjieba
* Japanese segmentation will use our port of TinySegmenter
* Korean currently does not rely on segmentation which was dropped in c677877e4f
* SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese_japanese_korean has been split
into SiteSetting.search_tokenize_chinese and
SiteSetting.search_tokenize_japanese respectively
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.
* 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.
Before this fix we would display this exception:
```
Discourse::InvalidParameters:
value
```
After this fix we will display:
```
Discourse::InvalidParameters:
Invalid `x` value for `s3_region`
```
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.
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.
There are issues around displaying images on published pages when secure media is enabled. This PR temporarily makes it appear as if published pages are enabled if secure media is also enabled.
* FIX: second factor cannot be enabled if SSO is enabled
If `enable_sso` setting is enabled then admin should not be able to
enable `enforce_second_factor` setting as that will lock users out.

Like "default watching" and "default tracking" categories option now the "regular" categories support is added. It will be useful for sites that are muted by default. The user option will be displayed only if `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting is enabled.
Enabling the moderators_manage_categories_and_groups site setting will allow moderator users to create/manage groups.
* show New Group form to moderators
* Allow moderators to update groups and read logs, where appropriate
* Rename site setting from create -> manage
* improved tests
* Migration should rename old log entries
* Log group changes, even if those changes mean you can no longer see the group
* Slight reshuffle
* RouteTo /g if they no longer have permissions to view group
The secure media functionality relied on `SiteSetting.enable_s3_uploads?` which, as we found in dev, did not take into account global S3 settings via `GlobalSetting.use_s3?`. We now use `SiteSetting.Upload.enable_s3_uploads` instead to be more consistent.
Also, we now validate `enable_s3_uploads` changes, because if `GlobalSetting.use_s3?` is true users should NOT be enabling S3 uploads manually.
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
It was possible to add a category to more than one default group, e.g. "default categories muted" and "default categories watching first post".
The bug was caused by category validations inadvertently comparing strings and numbers.
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.
* REFACTOR: Rename SiteSetting.disable_edit_notifications to disable_system_edit_notifications
- The older name could cause some confusion because the setting does not disable all edit notifications, only system ones.
* FIX: Add frozen_string_literal: true in the migration
* DEV: Deprecate 'disable_edit_notifications'
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.
This fixes a condition where an intermittent db connection could cause
invalid site settings to be stored
It also removes a catch all we had.
Somewhere around Rails 5 `db:create` started wanting full environment
this is a problem for Discourse since it needs to boot up data from the
db.
This removes the catch all and surgically adds a db / redis bypass to
db:create task.
