The target realm was not being passed to create_attachment in
upload_message_file implementations. This was a bug in the edge-case of
cross-realm messages - in particular, causing a bug in the email
gateway:
When an email with an attachment is sent, the message is mirrored to
Zulip with Email Gateway Bot as the message sender and uploader of the
attachment. Due to the realm not being passed to create_attachment, the
Attachment would get created with .realm being the system bot realm,
making the attachment inaccessible under some conditions due to failing
the following condition check (that's expected to pass, provided that
the .realm is set correctly):
```
if (
attachment.is_realm_public
and attachment.realm == user_profile.realm
and user_profile.can_access_public_streams()
):
# Any user in the realm can access realm-public files
return True
```
Fixes the rendering of enums to show strings with quotation marks,
while integers will continue to be rendered without quotation marks.
This allows for an empty string to be passed as an enum value and be
rendered as such in the documentation. Null will be rendered without
quotation marks, like integer values.
We no longer limit our list of candidate topics
to 300.
We continue to limit the topic results to 10, since
we don't want to overwhelm users or crowd out
non-topic-related suggestions.
We try to handle this is an efficient manner.
Makes `edit_timestamp` and `user_id` required fields for all
`update_message` events.
Adds `rendering_only` as another required field to signal if
events are only updating the rendered content of the message,
which is currently the case for adding inline url previews.
Updates `test_event.py` so that `do_update_message` and
`do_update_embedded_data` refer to the same testing schema
for `update_message` events, and therefore reflect the same
required fields for the `update_message` event.
The OpenAPI definition for `update_message` events is also
updated to reflect the required field and descriptions of
various properties are updated for the addition of the
`rendering_only` property.
Moves details about the rate limit error object and handling to
the OpenAPI documentation description for that common error.
Previously, this information was on the general rest error
handling documentation page without clear connection to the
specific rate limit error.
Fixes a typo in the changelog (feature 36) for that same error
and also fixes a misplaced colon in the description of the error
for missing request parameters.
We were showing # for all types of streams in the title at the top
in the right column of stream settings overlay. This commit fixes
it to show globe icon for web-public streams and lock icon for
private streams.
Services like go-camo and smokescreen are not stopped in stop-server,
since they are upgraded and restarted by puppet application. As such,
they also do not appear in start-server, despite the server relying on
them to be running to function properly.
Ensure those services are started, by starting them in start-server,
if they are configured in supervisor on the host.
For many uses, shelling out to `supervisorctl` is going to produce
better error messages. However, for instances where we wish to parse
the output of `supervisorctl`, using the API directly is less brittle.
Renames `/docs/documentation/user.md` to reflect the rebranding
from "user documentation" to "help center documentation".
Also, fixes any linking in the docs to that file.
Updates the tutorial for writing help center articles to encourage
contributors to add to or enhance the existing help center docs
before writing a new articles for new features.
Also, generally updates references to 'user documentation' to be
'help center documentation'.
Additionally, updates some headers within the tutorials for clarity
and consistency, and adds some linkifying throughout the section on
writing documentation.
Added a placeholder key to the polls slash command object. This is
selected and highlighted after being typed ahead in the compose box.
For slash commands without placeholder, everything works as before.
Formatting hints can easily be added for other slash commands too,
by adding a placeholder key to their object.
Fixes part of #20868
Adds detailed definition of objects in the `subscription_data` parameter
array for the `/update-subscription-settings` endpoint.
Fixes#20825. Follow-up to #20409.
Formats and moves whether a field of an object in a request
parameter is required or optional to be in the same location
and have the same formatting as the general api parameter
documentation.
Also formats any examples within the object detailed
description to be the same as the general api parameter
documentation.
Follow up to #20409.
When users tabs through the message action icons, they used to
persist even when the focus is not on them. We manually
destroy them on blur event since tippy has some issue with
handling elements with opacity hiding effect.
The RabbitMQ docs state ([1]):
RabbitMQ nodes and CLI tools (e.g. rabbitmqctl) use a cookie to
determine whether they are allowed to communicate with each
other. [...] The cookie is just a string of alphanumeric
characters up to 255 characters in size. It is usually stored in a
local file.
...and goes on to state (emphasis ours):
If the file does not exist, Erlang VM will try to create one with
a randomly generated value when the RabbitMQ server starts
up. Using such generated cookie files are **appropriate in
development environments only.**
The auto-generated cookie does not use cryptographic sources of
randomness, and generates 20 characters of `[A-Z]`. Because of a
semi-predictable seed, the entropy of this password is thus less than
the idealized 26^20 = 94 bits of entropy; in actuality, it is 36 bits
of entropy, or potentially as low as 20 if the performance of the
server is known.
These sizes are well within the scope of remote brute-force attacks.
On provision, install, and upgrade, replace the default insecure
20-character Erlang cookie with a cryptographically secure
255-character string (the max length allowed).

5c450afd2d, in ancient history, switched from `check_call` to
`check_output` and throwing away its result.
Use check_call, so that we show the steps to (re)starting the server.
Zulip writes a `rabbitmq.config` configuration file which locks down
RabbitMQ to listen only on localhost:5672, as well as the RabbitMQ
distribution port, on localhost:25672.
The "distribution port" is part of Erlang's clustering configuration;
while it is documented that the protocol is fundamentally
insecure ([1], [2]) and can result in remote arbitrary execution of
code, by default the RabbitMQ configuration on Debian and Ubuntu
leaves it publicly accessible, with weak credentials.
The configuration file that Zulip writes, while effective, is only
written _after_ the package has been installed and the service
started, which leaves the port exposed until RabbitMQ or system
restart.
Ensure that rabbitmq's `/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config` is written
before rabbitmq is installed or starts, and that changes to that file
trigger a restart of the service, such that the ports are only ever
bound to localhost. This does not mitigate existing installs, since
it does not force a rabbitmq restart.

This is required in order to lock down the RabbitMQ port to only
listen on localhost. If the nodename is `rabbit@hostname`, in most
circumstances the hostname will resolve to an external IP, which the
rabbitmq port will not be bound to.
Installs which used `rabbit@hostname`, due to RabbitMQ having been
installed before Zulip, would not have functioned if the host or
RabbitMQ service was restarted, as the localhost restrictions in the
RabbitMQ configuration would have made rabbitmqctl (and Zulip cron
jobs that call it) unable to find the rabbitmq server.
The previous commit ensures that configure-rabbitmq is re-run after
the nodename has changed. However, rabbitmq needs to be stopped
before `rabbitmq-env.conf` is changed; we use an `onlyif` on an `exec`
to print the warning about the node change, and let the subsequent
config change and notify of the service and configure-rabbitmq to
complete the re-configuration.
`/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf` sets the nodename; anytime the
nodename changes, the backing database changes, and this requires
re-creating the rabbitmq users and permissions.
Trigger this in puppet by running configure-rabbitmq after the file
changes.
This reverts commit 889547ff5e. It is
unused in the Docker container, as the configurtaion of the `zulip`
user in the rabbitmq node is done via environment variables. The
Zulip host in that context does not have `rabbitmqctl` installed, and
would have needed to know the Erlang cookie to be able to run these
commands.
The Erlang `epmd` daemon listens on port 4369, and provides
information (without authentication) about which Erlang processes are
listening on what ports. This information is not itself a
vulnerability, but may provide information for remote attackers about
what local Erlang services (such as `rabbitmq-server`) are running,
and where.
`epmd` supports an `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` environment variable to limit
which interfaces it binds on. While this environment variable is set
in `/etc/default/rabbitmq-server`, Zulip unfortunately attempts to
start `epmd` using an explicit `exec` block, which ignores those
settings.
Regardless, this lack of `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` variable only controls
`epmd`'s startup upon first installation. Upon reboot, there are two
ways in which `epmd` might be started, neither of which respect
`ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS`:
- On Focal, an `epmd` service exists and is activated, which uses
systemd's configuration to choose which interfaces to bind on, and
thus `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` is irrelevant.
- On Bionic (and Focal, due to a broken dependency from
`rabbitmq-server` to `epmd@` instead of `epmd`, which may lead to
the explicit `epmd` service losing a race), `epmd` is started by
`rabbitmq-server` when it does not detect a running instance.
Unfortunately, only `/etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server` would respects
`/etc/default/rabbitmq-server` -- and it defers the actual startup
to using systemd, which does not pass the environment variable
down. Thus, `ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS` is also irrelevant here.
We unfortunately cannot limit `epmd` to only listening on localhost,
due to a number of overlapping bugs and limitations:
- Manually starting `epmd` with `-address 127.0.0.1` silently fails
to start on hosts with IPv6 disabled, due to an Erlang bug ([1],
[2]).
- The dependencies of the systemd `rabbitmq-server` service can be
fixed to include the `epmd` service, and systemd can be made to
bind to `127.0.0.1:4369` and pass that socket to `epmd`, bypassing
the above bug. However, the startup of this service is not
guaranteed, because it races with other sources of `epmd` (see
below).
- Any process that runs `rabbitmqctl` results in `epmd` being started
if one is not currently running; these instances do not respect any
environment variables as to which addresses to bind on. This is
also triggered by `service rabbitmq-server status`, as well as
various Zulip cron jobs which inspect the rabbitmq queues. As
such, it is difficult-to-impossible to ensure that some other
`epmd` process will not win the race and open the port on all
interfaces.
Since the only known exposure from leaving port 4369 open is
information that rabbitmq is running on the host, and the complexity
of adjusting this to only bind on localhost is high, we remove the
setting which does not address the problem, and document that the port
is left open, and should be protected via system-level or
network-level firewalls.

mochiweb was renamed to web_dispatch in RabbitMQ 3.8.0, and the plugin
is not enabled. Nor does this control the management interface, which
would listen on port 15672.
Called the `decorate` function to update stream color in the compose
box on `change` instead of `blur`.
On clicking on a stream option, the input box for the stream name
remained in focus, hence decorate wasn't triggered on blur. Using
the change event instead, ensures that decorate will be called
anytime the stream is changed.
