This simple backwards-compatible change saves approximately 12% in the
compressed size of the chat.zulip.org page_params. We can do much,
much better by changing the format, but this seems like a good
intermediate step.

This sidesteps tricky escaping issues, and will make it easier to
build a strict Content-Security-Policy.

* Whitelist a small number of image/ types to be served as
non-attachments.
* Serve the file using the type that we validated rather than relying
on an independent guess to match.
This issue can lead to a stored XSS security vulnerability for older
browsers that don't support Content-Security-Policy.
It primarily affects servers using Zulip's local file uploads backend
for servers running Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial or newer; the legacy local
file upload backend for (now EOL) Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty was not affected
and it has limited impact for the S3 upload backend (which uses an
unprivileged S3 bucket domain to serve files).

This brings us in line, and also allows us to style these more like
unordered lists, which is visually more appealing.
On the backend, we now use the default list blockprocessor + sane list
extension of python-markdown to get proper list markup; on the
frontend, we mostly return to upstream's code as they have followed
CommonMark on this issue.
Using <ol> here necessarily removes the behaviour of not renumbering
on lists written like 3, 4, 7; hopefully users will be OK with the
change.
Fixes#12822.
We have a very useful piece of code, _RateLimitFilter, which is
designed to avoid sending us a billion error emails in the event that
a Zulip production server is down in a way that throws the same
exception a lot. The code uses memcached to ensure we send each
traceback roughly once per Zulip server per 10 minutes (or if
memcached is unavailable, at most 1/process/10 minutes, since we use
memcached to coordinate between processes)
However, if memcached is down, there is a logging.error call internal
to the Django/memcached setup that happens inside the cache.set() call,
and those aren't caught by the `except Exception` block around it.
This ends up resulting in infinite recursion, eventually leading to
Fatal Python error: Cannot recover from stack overflow., since this
handler is configured to run for logging.error in addition to
logging.exception.
We fix this using a thread-local variable to detect whether we are
being called recursively.
This change should prevent some nasty failure modes we've had in the
past where memcached being down resulted in infinite recursion
(resulting in extra resources being consumed by our error
notifications code, and most importantly, the error notifications not
being sent).
Fixes#12595.
There's no reason for this to be a category of error that emails the
server administrator, since there's a good chance that fixing it will
need to be done in the Zulip codebase, not administrator action.
Fixes#9401.
This adds a FAKE_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting, which should be used if
EXTERNAL_HOST is not a valid domain, and something else is needed to
form bot and dummy user emails (if email visibility is turned off).
It defaults to EXTERNAL_HOST.
get_fake_email_domain() should be used to get this value. It validates
that it's correctly set - that it can be used to form valid emails.
If it's not set correctly, an exception is raised. This is the right
approach, because it's undesirable to have the server seemingly
peacefully operating with that setting misconfigured, as that could
mask some hidden sneaky bugs due to UserProfiles with invalid emails,
which would blow up the moment some code that does validate the emails
is called.
Apparently, due to poor naming of the outer capture group we use to
separate the actual match from the surrounding whitespace (etc.) we
use to determine if the syntax is a possible linkifier start/end, if
you created a linkifier using "name" as the capture group, we'd try to
compile a pattern with two capture groups called "name", which would
500, preventing anyone from accessing the organization.
Historically, Zulip's implementation of wildcard mentions never
triggered either email or push notifications, instead being limited to
desktop notifications and the "mentions" counter.
We fix this just by plumbing the "wildcard_mentioned" flag through our
system.
Implements much of

We're also now ready to seriously work on #3750.
After a new user joins an active organization, it isn't obvious what
to do next; this change causes there to be recent unread messages in
the stream sidebar for the user to click on to get a feel for what's
happening in the organization and experiment with Zulip.
Fixes#6512.
This commit wraps up the major work that we held back when upgrading
py-markdown 2.6.11 to 3.0.1. Since we were making our custom changes
to the link syntax, at the time we stuck to using the old method of
parsing links. This lays the groundwork for further changes to our
link and image link handling, and brings us on par with upstream.
Also, we now better document the ways in which our link handling is
different from upstream.
Previously, the unread_msgs data structure accounting (used for both
the web and mobile apps to determine the "Unread mentions" count
displayed in the UI) did not include wildcard mentions at all.
We fix this by adding the logic required to include properly that
data, with tests. As discussed in #6040, it makes sense to include
muted streams and topics for the purpose of this calculation.
Fixes part of #6040.
Apparently, get_active_presence_idle_user_ids, which is carefully
optimized to only fetch data for users who might actually need
notification processing, was only considering PMs and direct mentions,
not wildcard mentions or alert words.
This caused some pretty weird failure modes when working on adding
support for broader mention notifications, because users who had one
of these types of notifications would be treated as never
presence-idle, which was just confusing.
This is part of adding support for notifications for wildcard mentions
and alert words; it's worth merging this as an early commit because
the consequence of not doing this are very difficult to debug.
Add ability to search entire message history of all public streams at
once. It includes all subscibed, non subscribed public streams messages
and even historical public stream messages sent before user had joined
an organization or stream.
Fixes#8859.
Send the config_options for each supported incoming webhook bot along
with the initial state (not present in apply_events since this is
mostly just static data).
Without disturbing the flow of the existing code for configuring
embedded bots too much, we now use the config_options feature to
allow incoming webhook type bot to be configured via. the "/bots"
endpoint of the API.
This is a prep commit to allow us to validate user provided bot
config data using the same function for incoming webhook type
bots alongside embedded bots (as opposed to creating a new
function just for incoming webhook bots).
In integrations.py we have a class called Integration which we then usually
subclass and then use to define the meta-data for all of our integrations.
Now, we want to allow all of our bots, specifically incoming webhook bots,
to be configured (i.e. we should let the user provide BotConfigData).
For this we create a new instance member of the Integration class called
config_options which will be a list of tuples containing the displayable
integration name, the configuration key form of the integration name and
the validator that it's value is supposed to adhere to.
This was used as a helper to construct the final display_recipient when
fetching messages. With the new mechanism of constructing
display_recipient by fetching appropriate users/streams from the
database and cache, this shouldn't be needed anymore.
There is no need to fetch the entire Stream or UserProfile objects, as
only several fields are needed. We use Django's .values() method to only
get what's needed.
For UserProfiles, it means that we get from the queries are dictionaries
already in the display_recipient form (UserDisplayRecipient type) - so
we can remove the user_profile_to_display_recipient_dict function, as
there's no need for this UserProfile -> UserDisplayRecipient conversion
anymore.
Instead of having the rather unclear type Union[str,
List[UserDisplayRecipient]] where display_recipient of message dicts was
involved, we use DisplayRecipientT (renamed from DisplayRecipientCacheT
- since there wasn't much reason to have the word Cache in there), which
makes it clearer what is the actual nature of the objects and gets rid
of this pretty big type declaration.
Since the display_recipients dictionaries corresponding to users are
always dictionaries with keys email, full_name, short_name, id,
is_mirror_dummy - instead of using the overly general Dict[str, Any]
type, we can define a UserDisplayRecipient type,
using an appropriate TypedDict.
The type definitions are moved from display_recipient.py to types.py, so
that they can be imported in models.py.
Appropriate type adjustments are made in various places in the code
where we operate on display_recipients.
The user information in display_recipient in cached message_dicts
becomes outdated if the information is changed in any way.
In particular, since we don't have a way to find all the message
objects that might contain PMs after an organization toggles the
setting to hide user email addresses from other users, we had a
situation where client might see inaccurate cached data from before
the transition for a period of up to hours.
We address this by using our generic_bulk_cached_fetch toolchain to
ensure we always are fetching display_recipient data from the database
(and/or a special recipient_id -> display_recipient cache, which we
can flush easily).
Fixes#12818.
Previously, our OpenAPI documentation validation was failing for some
endpoints because it didn't account for the `in: path` type of
parameter, resulting in a mismatch between what was declared via REQ
and what was declared in the OpenAPI docs.
We fix this by excluding the path type parameters in both places from
what's considered by documentation using the `path_only` flag.
I doubt this is the correct long-term fix; in particular, I don't
think we're actually running the validators for these path-only
parameters. The examples that exist today are all IDs with validators
for being non-negative numbers, but longer-term I think we'll want to
do something different (possibly at the REQ layer, see the TODO).
Our new curl example generation logic was broken, in that it hardcoded
localhost:9991 (without an HTTP method or anything) as the API URL.
It requires a bit of plumbing to make this possible.
This refactor extracts the code logic of checking if user can access
stream history into it's own function: can_access_stream_history
that takes in user_profile and stream. Then we make seperate function
can_access_stream_by_name that takes in stream_name and retrives stream
and pass it to can_access_stream_history. This will make it easily to later
add a function that does the same thing with stream ID.
This let's us clean up the linter that excludes the use of get_stream
and by adding the access_unchecked in the name we make it clear that
it should be used with caution.
Refactoring idea by Tim Abbott.
The typing for generic_bulk_cached_fetch is complicated, and was
recorded incorrectly previously for the case where a cache_transformer
function is required. We fix this by adding the new CacheItemT, and
additionally add comments explaining what's going on with these types
for future reference.
