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.
The previous default aspect ratio for cropping tall images was a little
too strict and was cutting off images. This new setting should allow for
a larger range of image sizes before cropping them.
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.
* 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
MessageBus::Diagnostics allows anyone with access to carry out certain
operations that may result in a denial of service. The impact of this is
greater on multisiite clusters.
We send the reminder using the GroupMessage class, which supports removing previous messages. We can't match them by raw because they could mention different moderators. Also, I had to change the subject to remove dynamically generated values, which is necessary for finding them.
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.
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.
This is a big change to change over to using the uppy
upload mixin in the composer by default. This gets rid
of the temporary composer-editor-uppy component, as well
as removing the old ComposerUpload mixin and copying over
any missing functions that were not yet implemented by
ComposerUploadUppy. This has been working well on our
hosting for some time now and has led us to several
bug fixes.
This commit also deletes the old plugin API for adding
preprocessors for the uploads. The accepted method of doing
this now is via an uppy preprocessor plugin, which we have
several examples of in the core codebase.
Leaving the `enable_experimental_composer_uploader` site setting
intact for now because some plugins still rely on it, this
will be removed at a later date.
One step closer to ending the jQuery file uploader saga...
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.
* FEATURE: Optionally send a 'noindex' header in non-canonical responses
This will be used in a SEO experiment.

When this setting is turned on, it will check that normalized emails
are unique. Normalized emails are emails without any dots or plus
aliases.
This setting can be used to block use of aliases of the same email
address.
Use @here to mention all users that were allowed to topic directly or
through group, who liked topics or read the topic. Only first 10 users
will be notified.
When rendering the markdown code blocks we replace the
offending characters in the output string with spans highlighting a textual
representation of the character, along with a title attribute with
information about why the character was highlighted.
The list of characters stripped by this fix, which are the bidirectional
characters considered relevant, are:
U+202A
U+202B
U+202C
U+202D
U+202E
U+2066
U+2067
U+2068
U+2069
* FEATURE: Always show advanced invite options
The UI is more simple and more efficient than how it was when the
advanced options toggle was introduced. It does not make sense to keep
it anymore.
* UX: Minor copy edits
* UX: Merge expire invite controls
There were two controls in the create invite modal. One was a static
text that displayed how much time is left until the invite expires. The
other one was a datetime selector that set the time the invite expires.
This commit merges the two controls in a single one: staff users will
continue to see the datetime selector without the static text and
regular users will only see the static text because they cannot set
when the invite expires.
* UX: Remove invite link
It should only be visible after the invite was created.
This commit refactors the direct external upload routes (get presigned
put, complete external, create/abort/complete multipart) into a
helper which is then included in both BackupController and the
UploadController. This is done so UploadController doesn't need
strange backup logic added to it, and so each controller implementing
this helper can do their own validation/error handling nicely.
This is a follow up to e4350bb966
Currently, Discourse rate limits all incoming requests by the IP address they
originate from regardless of the user making the request. This can be
frustrating if there are multiple users using Discourse simultaneously while
sharing the same IP address (e.g. employees in an office).
This commit implements a new feature to make Discourse apply rate limits by
user id rather than IP address for users at or higher than the configured trust
level (1 is the default).
For example, let's say a Discourse instance is configured to allow 200 requests
per minute per IP address, and we have 10 users at trust level 4 using
Discourse simultaneously from the same IP address. Before this feature, the 10
users could only make a total of 200 requests per minute before they got rate
limited. But with the new feature, each user is allowed to make 200 requests
per minute because the rate limits are applied on user id rather than the IP
address.
The minimum trust level for applying user-id-based rate limits can be
configured by the `skip_per_ip_rate_limit_trust_level` global setting. The
default is 1, but it can be changed by either adding the
`DISCOURSE_SKIP_PER_IP_RATE_LIMIT_TRUST_LEVEL` environment variable with the
desired value to your `app.yml`, or changing the setting's value in the
`discourse.conf` file.
Requests made with API keys are still rate limited by IP address and the
relevant global settings that control API keys rate limits.
Before this commit, Discourse's auth cookie (`_t`) was simply a 32 characters
string that Discourse used to lookup the current user from the database and the
cookie contained no additional information about the user. However, we had to
change the cookie content in this commit so we could identify the user from the
cookie without making a database query before the rate limits logic and avoid
introducing a bottleneck on busy sites.
Besides the 32 characters auth token, the cookie now includes the user id,
trust level and the cookie's generation date, and we encrypt/sign the cookie to
prevent tampering.
