We have tested rate limiting with admin accounts with block rate limiting for
close to 12 months now on meta.discourse.org.
This has resulted in no degradation of services even to admin accounts that
request a lot of info from the site.
The default of 200 requests a minute and 50 per 10 seconds is very generous.
It simply protects against very aggressive clients.
This setting can be disabled or tweaked using:
DISCOURSE_MAX_REQS_PER_IP_MODE and family.
The only big downside here is in cases when a very large number of users tend
to all come from a single IP.
This can be the case on sites accessing Discourse from an internal network
all sharing the same IP via NAT. Or a misconfigured Discourse that is unable
to resolve IP addresses of users due to proxy mis-configuration.
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
* When viewing a tag, the search widget will now show a checkbox to scope the search by tag, which will limit search results to that tag on desktop and mobile
Previous versions of the mail-receiver used query based api credentials,
if we detect this we will show a message in the admin panel to update
the mail receiver.
* Fix user title logic when badge name customized
* Fix an issue where a user's title was not considered a badge granted title when the user used a badge for their title and the badge name was customized. this affected the effectiveness of revoke_ungranted_titles! which only operates on badge_granted_titles.
* When a user's title is set now it is considered a badge_granted_title if the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride is the same as the title
* When a user's badge is revoked we now also revoke their title if the user's title matches the badge name OR the badge custom name from TranslationOverride
* Add a user history log when the title is revoked to remove confusion about why titles are revoked
* Add granted_title_badge_id to user_profile, now when we set badge_granted_title on a user profile when updating a user's title based on a badge, we also remember which badge matched the title
* When badge name (or custom text) changes update titles of users in a background job
* When the name of a badge changes, or in the case of system badges when their custom translation text changes, then we need to update the title of all corresponding users who have a badge_granted_title and matching granted_title_badge_id. In the case of system badges we need to first get the proper badge ID based on the translation key e.g. badges.regular.name
* Add migration to backfill all granted_title_badge_ids for both normal badge name titles and titles using custom badge text.
Instead of enabling `suppress_from_latest` setting on many categories now we can enable `mute_all_categories_by_default` site setting. Then users should opt-in to categories for them to appear in the latest and categories pages.
This change adds a message to the admin panel if it detects an api
requests that doesn't use the new header based authentication method.
The message is to warn people to switch to header based auth and links
to the api documention topic on meta for more info.
Previously our cache would expire any asset that was not accessed for 10
minutes. This is way too short and was never intended. All the assets we
are serving are usually very long living assets like avatars and css files
1 day is a reasonable setting here cause it offers far better protection.
I would consider upping this to a week though longer term.
Maximum disk space of cache was increased as well to 600m. Very unlikely to
ever hit this except on very large sites.
Additionally, this places all the cached assets in nested directories, we
never want cached files to be in one giant directory cause it is inefficient
- Allow revoking keys without deleting them
- Auto-revoke keys after a period of no use (default 6 months)
- Allow multiple keys per user
- Allow attaching a description to each key, for easier auditing
- Log changes to keys in the staff action log
- Move all key management to one place, and improve the UI
These are the changes to tags routing that correspond to the category
routing changes of d84c34ad. The new scheme is:
/tags/c/*slug_path/:id/none/:tag_id/ENDPOINT
/tags/c/*slug_path/:id/none/:tag_id
/tags/c/*slug_path/:id/:tag_id/ENDPOINT
/tags/c/*slug_path/:id/:tag_id
In a category's settings, the Tags tab has two new fields to
specify the number of tags that must be added to a topic
from a tag group. When creating a new topic, an error will be
shown to the user if the requirement isn't met.
The routes for categories are changing. The scheme that I intend to move
us to is:
/c/*slug_path/(:id)/ENDPOINT
/c/*slug_path/(:id)
This commit adds support for the new scheme to the server side without
dropping support for existing URLs. It is necessary to support existing
URLs for two reasons:
* This commit does not change any client side routing code,
* Posts that contain category hashtags that refer to a root category
are baked into URLs that do not fit this new scheme, (/c/[id]-[slug])
This is a major change to draft internals. Previously there were quite a
few cases where the draft system would say "draft saved", when in fact
we just skipped saving.
This commit ensures the draft system deals with draft ownership handover in
a predictable way.
For example:
- Window 1 editing draft
- Window 2 editing same draft at the same time
Previously we would allow window 1 and 2 to just fight on the same draft
each window overwriting the same draft over an over.
This commit introduces an ownership concept where either window 1 or 2 win
and user is prompted on the loser window to reload screen to correct the issue
This also corrects edge cases where a user could have multiple browser windows
open and posts in 1 window, later to post in the second window. Previously
drafts would break in the second window, this corrects it.
* DEV: Add the actual "tag_groups/new" route
Allows refreshing the "new" page without an error.
* DEV: Prevent attempts to create group tags if tagging is disabled
* DEV: Refactor the tag-groups controller
Gets rid of `selectedItem`, `selected`, and `selectTagGroup` action.
* DEV: Rename tag-groups-show to tag-groups-edit
* DEV: Refactor tag-groups form
* Extracted the tag-groups-form that's used by tag-groups-new and tag-groups-edit
* The model is now a buffered property
* Serialization relies more heavily on RestAdapter now
* Data is sent as JSON
* Payload is now namespaced ("tag_group")
* Update app/assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/tag-groups-new.js.es6

Adds the settings:
raw_email_max_length, raw_rejected_email_max_length, delete_rejected_email_after_days.
These settings control retention of the "raw" emails logs.
raw_email_max_length ensures that if we get incoming email that is huge we will truncate it removing uploads from the raw log.
raw_rejected_email_max_length introduces an even more aggressive truncation for rejected incoming mail.
delete_rejected_email_after_days controls how many days we will keep rejected emails for (default 90)
* FEATURE: Site setting/ui to allow users to set their primary group
* prettier and remove logic from account template
* added 1 to 43 to make web_hook_user_serializer_spec pass
- destroyDraft which is called when we cancel a draft is now async,
removing race conditions when you click "reply" to a post and are
already editing. We used to trigger double dialogs for cancelling
drafts which was confusing.
- Remove reply as new topic / reply as pm keys, they are no longer
used and only caused confustion. For example we used to pop up a
warning when you are composing a reply and flick to reply as
new topic
- Remove createTopic key, this was a bug that proliferated. Whenever
creating a topic via the C shortcut or clicking on new topic on full
screen search the correct new topic draft key will be used
consistently
- When abandoning an edit we now say "Are you sure you want to discard
your changes" (instead of abandon your post which is confusing)
- Increase size of the reviewable's conversation excerpt to prevent truncation of the new copy
- Remove the `domain` parameter from the `flag_linked_posts_as_spam` method in the user model since it is no longer needed
- Remove the `domain` interpolation variable from all translation files
- Add "All posts from this user that include links should be reviewed." to server.en.yml for added clarity on why the posts entered the queue
