Missing await in call to this._pad.getInternalRevisionAText(rev). Function returns a promise. This bug breaks the createDiffHTML API call (how I discovered it).
These characters are in the RFC3986 reserved set.
These characters are added to the set of characters that cannot be the
last character of a URL to avoid mislinkification.
It should be the client's responsibility to handle null name or color.
In the case of author names, passing null to the client allows users
to fill in the names of other users (via a suggestUserName
CLIENT_MESSAGE).
When a new client opens a socket.io connection and sends a
CLIENT_READY message, Etherpad sends the new client a bunch of
USER_NEWINFO messages, one per other user already connected to the
pad. When iterating over the other users, filter out those without an
author ID or missing from the global authors database.
Normally I would let `eslint --fix` do this for me, but there's a bug
that causes:
const x = function ()
{
// ...
};
to become:
const x = ()
=> {
// ...
};
which ESLint thinks is a syntax error. (It probably is; I don't know
enough about the automatic semicolon insertion rules to be confident.)
* caching_middleware: fix gzip compression not triggered
* packages: If a client sets `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, the responseCache will
include `Content-Encoding: gzip` in all future responses, even
if a subsequent request does not set `Accept-Encoding` or another client
requests the file without setting `Accept-Encoding`.
Fix that.
* caching_middleware: use `test` instead of `match`
* add tests
* make code easier to understand
* make the regex more clear

ed5a635f4c.
* add regression test for #4495
* Move `/javascript` test to `specialpages.js`

Some authentication plugins use the users defined in the `users`
object but ignore the `password` and `hash` properties.
This change deletes all of the filtering logic, including the logic
that filters out users that have both `password` and `hash` properties
defined. I could have kept that check, but decided to remove it
because:
* There's no harm in defining both `hash` and `password`.
* Allowing both makes it easier to transition from one scheme to
another.
* It's fewer lines of code to maintain.
If `settings.json` contains a user without a `password` property then
nobody should be able to log in as that user using the built-in HTTP
basic authentication. This is true both with and without this change,
but before this change it wasn't immediately obvious that a malicious
user couldn't use an empty or null password to log in as such a user.
This commit adds an explicit nullish check and some unit tests to
ensure that an empty or null password will not work if the `password`
property is null or undefined.
This makes it possible to disable `contentEditable` for certain
elements in some circumstances (e.g., on links so that users can click
on them normally).
if animationState evaluates to -1 or 0, it would end up in a conditional that assign its value to itself. Since this is redundant, it is better to remove this conditional, to avoid an extra check
Rewrite the `callAll` and `aCallAll` functions to support all
reasonable hook behaviors and to report errors for unreasonable
behaviors (e.g., calling the callback twice).
Now a hook function like the following works as expected when invoked
by `aCallAll`:
```
exports.myHookFn = (hookName, context, cb) => {
cb('some value');
return;
};
```
If a hook function neither calls the callback nor returns a
(non-undefined) value then there's no way for the hook system to know
if/when the hook function has finished.
* Use jQuery to build the message HTML so that special characters in
the error message, URL, etc. are properly escaped. This helps
avoid XSS vulnerabilities.
* Use bold text for the error message to make it stand out.
* Add a line break between the error message and "in <url> at line
<line>" so that the error message stands out more.
* Use `<p>...</p>` instead of `</br>` to separate the parts of the
popup.
* Use CSS for spacing instead of `</br>`.
* Grammar fixes (add a missing comma, "at" instead of "in").
Teach Gritter to accept anything that jQuery's `.append()` method
accepts for the title and text of a popup message. This makes it
easier to safely build HTML messages with proper escaping of special
characters (to prevent XSS vulnerabilities).
The debug statement mostly printed the following useless message over
and over, causing Travis CI logs to become truncated:

This will be a breaking change for some people.
We removed all internal password control logic. If this affects you, you have two options:
1. Use a plugin for authentication and use session based pad access (recommended).
1. Use a plugin for password setting.
The reasoning for removing this feature is to reduce the overall security footprint of Etherpad. It is unnecessary and cumbersome to keep this feature and with the thousands of available authentication methods available in the world our focus should be on supporting those and allowing more granual access based on their implementations (instead of half assed baking our own).
We could instead await the results of the hook, but then all callers
and their callers recursively would have to be converted to async, and
that's a huge change.
This currently isn't absolutely necessary because all current callers
of `userCanModify` already check for a read-only pad ID themselves.
However:
* This adds defense in depth.
* This makes it possible to simply replace the import handler's
`allowAnyoneToImport` check with a call to `userCanModify`.
There's no need to perform an authentication check in the socket.io
middleware because `PadMessageHandler.handleMessage` calls
`SecurityMananger.checkAccess` and that now performs authentication
and authorization checks.
This change also improves the user experience: Before, access denials
caused socket.io error events in the client, which `pad.js` mostly
ignores (the user doesn't see anything). Now a deny message is sent
back to the client, which causes `pad.js` to display an obvious
permission denied message.
This also fixes a minor bug: `settings.loadTest` is supposed to bypass
authentication and authorization checks, but they weren't bypassed
because `SecurityManager.checkAccess` did not check
`settings.loadTest`.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, use a well-tested library to parse and
write cookies. This should also help prevent XSS vulnerabilities
because the library handles special characters such as semicolon.
* Use the cookie functions from `pad_utils.js`.
* Delete unused methods, variables, and parameters.
* Simplify the logic.
* Use an ES6 class instead of a weird literal thingy.
* Use `const` instead of `var`.
Previously Etherpad would not pass the correct client IP address through and this caused the rate limiter to limit users behind reverse proxies. This change allows Etherpad to use a client IP passed from a reverse proxy.
Note to devs: This header can be spoofed and spoofing the header could be used in an attack. To mitigate additional *steps should be taken by Etherpad site admins IE doing rate limiting at proxy.* This only really applies to large scale deployments but it's worth noting.
Not every string was localized:
* `/admin/plugins` has some CSS magic to draw the tables of plugins
differently on narrow (mobile) screens, and the l10n library we
use does not support that particular magic. The strings that were
not localized are "Name", "Description", "Version", and "Time".
These strings are only stuck in English when the page is viewed on
a narrow screen; normal desktop users will see translated strings.
The CSS magic ought to be replaced with something more robust
(lots of nested `div`s); those remaining strings can be localized
whenever that happens.
* Strings from external sources such as plugin descriptions, error
messages, and `settings.json` comments are not localized.
Before this change, the authorize hook was invoked twice: once before
authentication and again after (if settings.requireAuthorization is
true). Now pre-authentication authorization is instead handled by a
new preAuthorize hook, and the authorize hook is only invoked after
the user has authenticated.
Rationale: Without this change it is too easy to write an
authorization plugin that is too permissive. Specifically:
* If the plugin does not check the path for /admin then a non-admin
user might be able to access /admin pages.
* If the plugin assumes that the user has already been authenticated
by the time the authorize function is called then unauthenticated
users might be able to gain access to restricted resources.
This change also avoids calling the plugin's authorize function twice
per access, which makes it easier for plugin authors to write an
authorization plugin that is easy to understand.
This change may break existing authorization plugins: After this
change, the authorize hook will no longer be able to authorize
non-admin access to /admin pages. This is intentional. Access to admin
pages should instead be controlled via the `is_admin` user setting,
which can be set in the config file or by an authentication plugin.
Also:
* Add tests for the authenticate and authorize hooks.
* Disable the authentication failure delay when testing.
This loses some of the granularity of the default HTTP basic auth
(unknown username vs. bad password), but there is considerable value
in having logging that is consistent no matter what authentication
plugins are installed.
The export request hook wasn't testing if the pad's id was from a read-only
pad before validating with the pad manager.
This includes an extra step that makes the read-only id verification and also
avoids setting the original pad's id as the file's name.
Commit 0bb8d73ba2 fixed the author ID
that is saved in the socket.io sessioninfo when the client sends a
`CLIENT_READY` with `reconnect` set to true, so it is now safe to undo
the workaround from PR #3868.
Fixes#4331.
