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.
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
Since Rails 5.2, the behavior of `attribute_changed?` inside `after_save` callbacks has changed, so we need to use `saved_change_to_attribute` instead. The site setting local_process_provider in test mode was covering up the issue.
If you turn it on now, default all users to approved since they were
previously. Also support approving a user that doesn't have a reviewable
record (it will be created first.)
This also includes a refactor to move class method calls to
`DiscourseEvent` into an initializer. Otherwise the load order of
classes makes a difference in the test environment and some settings
might be triggered and others not, randomly.
This validation makes sure that the s3_upload_bucket and the
s3_backup_bucket have different values. The backup bucket is
allowed to be a subfolder of the upload bucket. The other way
around is forbidden because the backup system searches by
prefix and would return all files stored within the backup
bucket and its subfolders.
