AWS recommends running buckets without ACLs, and to use resource policies to manage access control instead.
This is not a bad idea, because S3 ACLs are whack, and while resource policies are also whack, they're a more constrained form of whack.
Further, some compliance regimes get antsy if you don't go with the vendor's recommended settings, and arguing that you need to enable ACLs on a bucket just to store images in there is more hassle than it's worth.
The new site setting (s3_use_acls) cannot be disabled when secure
uploads is enabled -- the latter relies on private ACLs for security
at this point in time. We may want to reexamine this in future.
When setting the ACL for optimized images after setting the
ACL for the linked upload (e.g. via the SyncACLForUploads job),
we were using the optimized image path as the S3 key. This worked
for single sites, however it would fail silently for multisite
sites since the path would be incorrect, because the Discourse.store.upload_path
was not included.
For example, something like this:
somecluster1/optimized/2X/1/3478534853498753984_2_1380x300.png
Instead of:
somecluster1/uploads/somesite1/2X/1/3478534853498753984_2_1380x300.png
The silent failure is still intentional, since we don't want to
break other things because of ACL updates, but now we will update
the ACL correctly for optimized images on multisite sites.
The #pluck_first freedom patch, first introduced by @danielwaterworth has served us well, and is used widely throughout both core and plugins. It seems to have been a common enough use case that Rails 6 introduced it's own method #pick with the exact same implementation. This allows us to retire the freedom patch and switch over to the built-in ActiveRecord method.
There is no replacement for #pluck_first!, but a quick search shows we are using this in a very limited capacity, and in some cases incorrectly (by assuming a nil return rather than an exception), which can quite easily be replaced with #pick plus some extra handling.
Previously we hardcoded the DOWNLOAD_URL_EXPIRES_AFTER_SECONDS const
inside S3Helper to be 5 minutes (300 seconds). For various reasons,
some hosted sites may need this to be longer for other integrations.
The maximum expiry time for presigned URLs is 1 week (which is
604800 seconds), so that has been added as a validation on the
setting as well. The setting is hidden because 99% of the time
it should not be changed.
Sometimes we need to update a _lot_ of ACLs on S3 (such as when secure media
is enabled), and since it takes ~1s per upload to update the ACL, this is
best spread out over many jobs instead of having to do the whole thing serially.
In future, it will be better to have a job that can be run based on
a column on uploads (e.g. acl_stale) so we can track progress, similar
to how we can set the baked_version to nil to rebake posts.
This PR introduces a new `enable_experimental_backup_uploads` site setting (default false and hidden), which when enabled alongside `enable_direct_s3_uploads` will allow for direct S3 multipart uploads of backup .tar.gz files.
To make multipart external uploads work with both the S3BackupStore and the S3Store, I've had to move several methods out of S3Store and into S3Helper, including:
* presigned_url
* create_multipart
* abort_multipart
* complete_multipart
* presign_multipart_part
* list_multipart_parts
Then, S3Store and S3BackupStore either delegate directly to S3Helper or have their own special methods to call S3Helper for these methods. FileStore.temporary_upload_path has also removed its dependence on upload_path, and can now be used interchangeably between the stores. A similar change was made in the frontend as well, moving the multipart related JS code out of ComposerUppyUpload and into a mixin of its own, so it can also be used by UppyUploadMixin.
Some changes to ExternalUploadManager had to be made here as well. The backup direct uploads do not need an Upload record made for them in the database, so they can be moved to their final S3 resting place when completing the multipart upload.
This changeset is not perfect; it introduces some special cases in UploadController to handle backups that was previously in BackupController, because UploadController is where the multipart routes are located. A subsequent pull request will pull these routes into a module or some other sharing pattern, along with hooks, so the backup controller and the upload controller (and any future controllers that may need them) can include these routes in a nicer way.
We are only using list_multipart_parts right now in the
uploads controller for multipart uploads to check if the
upload exists; thus we don't need up to 1000 parts.
Also adding a note for future explorers that list_multipart_parts
only gets 1000 parts max, and adding params for max parts
and starting parts.
Previously, while retrieving each upload urls in a post S3 CDN urls with different path in prefix (external urls technically) are considered as uploaded url. It created issue while checking missing uploads.
When copying an existing upload stub temporary object
on S3 to its final destination we were not copying across
its additional headers such as content-disposition and
cache-control, which led to issues like attachments not
downloading with their original filename when clicking
the download links in posts.
This is because the metadata_directive = REPLACE option
was not being passed to object.copy_from(), so only the
source object's headers were being used. Added an option
for apply_metadata_to_destination to apply this option
conditionally, because we may not always want to replace
this metadata, but we definitely do when copying a temporary
upload.
The generate_presigned_put endpoint for direct external uploads
(such as the one for the uppy-image-uploader) records allowed
S3 metadata values on the uploaded object. We use this to store
the sha1-checksum generated by the UppyChecksum plugin, for later
comparison in ExternalUploadManager.
However, we were not doing this for the create_multipart endpoint,
so the checksum was never captured and compared correctly.
Also includes a fix to make sure UppyChecksum is the last preprocessor to run.
It is important that the UppyChecksum preprocessor is the last one to
be added; the preprocessors are run in order and since other preprocessors
may modify the file (e.g. the UppyMediaOptimization one), we need to
checksum once we are sure the file data has "settled".
Previously we had temp/ in the middle of the S3 key path like so
* /uploads/default/temp/randomstring/test.png (normal site)
* /sitename/uploads/default/temp/randomstring/test.png (s3 folder path site)
* /standard10/uploads/sitename/temp/randomstring/test.png (multisite site)
However this necessitates making a lifecycle rule to clean up incomplete
S3 multipart uploads for every site, something which we cannot do. It makes
much more sense to have a structure with /temp at the start of the key,
which is what this commit does:
* /temp/uploads/default/randomstring/test.png (normal site)
* /temp/sitename/uploads/default/randomstring/test.png (s3 folder path site)
* /temp/standard10/uploads/sitename/randomstring/test.png (multisite site)
This pull request introduces the endpoints required, and the JavaScript functionality in the `ComposerUppyUpload` mixin, for direct S3 multipart uploads. There are four new endpoints in the uploads controller:
* `create-multipart.json` - Creates the multipart upload in S3 along with an `ExternalUploadStub` record, storing information about the file in the same way as `generate-presigned-put.json` does for regular direct S3 uploads
* `batch-presign-multipart-parts.json` - Takes a list of part numbers and the unique identifier for an `ExternalUploadStub` record, and generates the presigned URLs for those parts if the multipart upload still exists and if the user has permission to access that upload
* `complete-multipart.json` - Completes the multipart upload in S3. Needs the full list of part numbers and their associated ETags which are returned when the part is uploaded to the presigned URL above. Only works if the user has permission to access the associated `ExternalUploadStub` record and the multipart upload still exists.
After we confirm the upload is complete in S3, we go through the regular `UploadCreator` flow, the same as `complete-external-upload.json`, and promote the temporary upload S3 into a full `Upload` record, moving it to its final destination.
* `abort-multipart.json` - Aborts the multipart upload on S3 and destroys the `ExternalUploadStub` record if the user has permission to access that upload.
Also added are a few new columns to `ExternalUploadStub`:
* multipart - Whether or not this is a multipart upload
* external_upload_identifier - The "upload ID" for an S3 multipart upload
* filesize - The size of the file when the `create-multipart.json` or `generate-presigned-put.json` is called. This is used for validation.
When the user completes a direct S3 upload, either regular or multipart, we take the `filesize` that was captured when the `ExternalUploadStub` was first created and compare it with the final `Content-Length` size of the file where it is stored in S3. Then, if the two do not match, we throw an error, delete the file on S3, and ban the user from uploading files for N (default 5) minutes. This would only happen if the user uploads a different file than what they first specified, or in the case of multipart uploads uploaded larger chunks than needed. This is done to prevent abuse of S3 storage by bad actors.
Also included in this PR is an update to vendor/uppy.js. This has been built locally from the latest uppy source at d613b849a6. This must be done so that I can get my multipart upload changes into Discourse. When the Uppy team cuts a proper release, we can bump the package.json versions instead.
This adds a few different things to allow for direct S3 uploads using uppy. **These changes are still not the default.** There are hidden `enable_experimental_image_uploader` and `enable_direct_s3_uploads` settings that must be turned on for any of this code to be used, and even if they are turned on only the User Card Background for the user profile actually uses uppy-image-uploader.
A new `ExternalUploadStub` model and database table is introduced in this pull request. This is used to keep track of uploads that are uploaded to a temporary location in S3 with the direct to S3 code, and they are eventually deleted a) when the direct upload is completed and b) after a certain time period of not being used.
### Starting a direct S3 upload
When an S3 direct upload is initiated with uppy, we first request a presigned PUT URL from the new `generate-presigned-put` endpoint in `UploadsController`. This generates an S3 key in the `temp` folder inside the correct bucket path, along with any metadata from the clientside (e.g. the SHA1 checksum described below). This will also create an `ExternalUploadStub` and store the details of the temp object key and the file being uploaded.
Once the clientside has this URL, uppy will upload the file direct to S3 using the presigned URL. Once the upload is complete we go to the next stage.
### Completing a direct S3 upload
Once the upload to S3 is done we call the new `complete-external-upload` route with the unique identifier of the `ExternalUploadStub` created earlier. Only the user who made the stub can complete the external upload. One of two paths is followed via the `ExternalUploadManager`.
1. If the object in S3 is too large (currently 100mb defined by `ExternalUploadManager::DOWNLOAD_LIMIT`) we do not download and generate the SHA1 for that file. Instead we create the `Upload` record via `UploadCreator` and simply copy it to its final destination on S3 then delete the initial temp file. Several modifications to `UploadCreator` have been made to accommodate this.
2. If the object in S3 is small enough, we download it. When the temporary S3 file is downloaded, we compare the SHA1 checksum generated by the browser with the actual SHA1 checksum of the file generated by ruby. The browser SHA1 checksum is stored on the object in S3 with metadata, and is generated via the `UppyChecksum` plugin. Keep in mind that some browsers will not generate this due to compatibility or other issues.
We then follow the normal `UploadCreator` path with one exception. To cut down on having to re-upload the file again, if there are no changes (such as resizing etc) to the file in `UploadCreator` we follow the same copy + delete temp path that we do for files that are too large.
3. Finally we return the serialized upload record back to the client
There are several errors that could happen that are handled by `UploadsController` as well.
Also in this PR is some refactoring of `displayErrorForUpload` to handle both uppy and jquery file uploader errors.
Discourse shouldn't dynamically calculate the path of uploads and optimized images after a file has been stored on disk or S3. Otherwise it might calculate the wrong path if the SHA1 or extension stored in the database doesn't match the actual file path.
Over the years we accrued many spelling mistakes in the code base.
This PR attempts to fix spelling mistakes and typos in all areas of the code that are extremely safe to change
- comments
- test descriptions
- other low risk areas
- Only initialize the S3Helper when needed
- Skip initializing the S3Helper for S3Store#cdn_url
- Allow cook_url to be passed a `local` hint to skip unnecessary checks
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)
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
In some cases, between Discourse forums the hostname of a URL could match if they are hosting S3 files on the same bucket but the S3 bucket path might not. So e.g. https://testbucket.somesite.com/testpath/some/file/url.png vs https://testbucket.somesite.com/prodpath/some/file/url.png. So has_been_uploaded? was returning true for the second URL, even though it may have been uploaded on a different Discourse forum.
This is a very rare case but must be accounted for, because this impacts UrlHelper.is_local which mistakenly thinks the file has already been downloaded and thus allows the URL to be cooked, where we want to return the full URL to be downloaded using PullHotlinkedImages.
The `uplaods:migrate_to_s3` rake task should always use the environment variables, because you usually don't want to break your site's uploads during the migration. But restoring a backup should work with site settings as well as environment variables, otherwise you can't restore uploads to S3 from the web interface.
### 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.
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
Doing .pluck(:column).first is a very common pattern in Discourse and in
most cases, a limit cause isn't being added. Instead of adding a limit
clause to all these callsites, this commit adds two new methods to
ActiveRecord::Relation:
pluck_first, equivalent to limit(1).pluck(*columns).first
and pluck_first! which, like other finder methods, raises an exception
when no record is found
* 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 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
