The `get_link_embed_data` / `link_embed_data_from_cache` pair as
introduced in c93f1d4eda uses the cache
as a temporary store inside of the `embed_links` worker; this means
that it must be durable storage, or the worker will stall and re-fetch
the same links to preview them.
Switch to plumbing through the fetched URL embed data as an parameter
to the Markdown evaluation which uses them, rather than using the
cache as an intermediary. This frees up the cache to be merely a
non-durable cache.
As a side-effect, this removes get_cache_with_key, and
link_embed_data_from_cache which was its only callsite.
`prepare_linkifier_pattern`, as of db934be064, adds a match to the
end of the regex, of either the end of string, or a non-word character
-- this is in place of a negative look-ahead, which is no longer
possible in re2. This causes the regex to consume trailing
whitespace, and thus not be able to match twice in succession with
`pattern.finditer` -- "#1234#5678" fails to match because the space
is consumed by the first match of the regex.
Rather than use `pattern.finditer`, write own own version, which
rewinds over the non-word character consumed after the match, if any.
This allows the same "after" non-word character to also satisfy the
"before" of the next match.
Fixes#21502.
Wordle has recently become a thing and it uses green, yellow and white (or
black in dark mode) large square unicode characters to let people share their
gameplay. Zulip converts the white and black large square unicode characters to
emojis, but not the green and yellow ones. This causes the Wordle grid to be
misaligned when shared on Zulip.
This commit adds green and yellow large square emojis to our emoji list to fix
the problem.
The limit here is purely to prevent breakage in case of a pathological
number of images in a single message; 5 images is entirely possible in
a reasonable message, and causes user confusion when they are not
expended.
Increase the limit to 10 per message.
This diff looks slightly noisy, but the main chunk of
code that we moved here has the same logic as before,
and it just gets realm_id from MentionBackend now, instead
of having our markdown processor have to supply it.
We basically want MentionData to be the gatekeeper of
mention data, and then we delegate backend tasks to
MentionBackend.
Soon we will add a cache to MentionBacked, which will
justify this change a bit more.
When our handlers specifically reference self.md.zulip_db_data,
we now use an explicit type.
We probably want a more robust solution here, such as a semgrep
rule.
We now serialize still_url as None for non-animated emojis,
instead of omitting the field. The webapp does proper checks
for falsiness here. The mobile app does not yet use the field
(to my knowledge).
We bump the API version here. More discussion here:

Not proxying these requests through camo is a security concern.
Furthermore, on the desktop client, any embed image which is hosted on
a server with an expired or otherwise invalid certificate will trigger
a blocking modal window with no clear source and a confusing error
message; see zulip/zulip-desktop#1119.
Rewrite all `message_embed_image` URLs through camo, if it is enabled.
Supporting URL percent-encoded bytes is possible using `%%20`, but this
is not necessarily very understandable to end-users, even those that
understand percent encoding.
Allow `%20` in linkifier URL format strings, and transform them into
`%%20` in the pattern just before they are applied in markdown
translation. Care must be taken here, such that already-escaped `%`s
are not escaped an extra time.
We do this before rendering, and not before storage, as
a simplification; the JS-side linkifier at present only understands
`%(foo)s` and thus needs no changes, and to avoid an un-escaping pass
before showing in the admin UI.
og:image is supposed to be an absolute URL, but some sites incorrectly
provide a relative URL. In this case, it makes more sense to
interpret it relative to the full page URL after redirects, rather
than relative to just the domain part of the page URL before
redirects.

Zulip attempts to validate that the regular expressions that admins
enter for linkifiers are well-formatted, and only contain a specific
subset of regex grammar. The process of checking these
properties (via a regex!) can cause denial-of-service via
backtracking.
Furthermore, this validation itself does not prevent the creation of
linkifiers which themselves cause denial-of-service when they are
executed. As the validator accepts literally anything inside of a
`(?P<word>...)` block, any quadratic backtracking expression can be
hidden therein.
Switch user-provided linkifier patterns to be matched in the Markdown
processor by the `re2` library, which is guaranteed constant-time.
This somewhat limits the possible features of the regular
expression (notably, look-head and -behind, and back-references);
however, these features had never been advertised as working in the
context of linkifiers.
A migration removes any existing linkifiers which would not function
under re2, after printing them for posterity during the upgrade; they
are unlikely to be common, and are impossible to fix automatically.
The denial-of-service in the linkifier validator was discovered by
@erik-krogh and @yoff, as GHSL-2021-118.
This check was copied from upstream python-markdown's "safe mode"
before they removed that feature. The upstream history is that they
introduced this check in
2db5d1c8e4,
which was not a complete security check, and then added the
immediately following check (with an allowlist of schemes) in
0b4ffbb60e.
Their first, incomplete check provides no security benefit and makes
the code hard to reason about, so we remove it.
This adds the X-Smokescreen-Role header to proxy connections, to track
usage from various codepaths, and enforces a timeout. Timeouts were
kept consistent with their previous values, or set to 5s if they had
none previously.
This commits removes some unnecessary checks for `self.md.zulip_message`,
which were put there historically, as earlier we used to add the additional
properties like mentions_user_ids, alert_words, etc. to Message dict
only. These were later moved to MessageRenderingResult class in commit
75cea329b but the checks weren't removed.
This is important because while rendering the messages imported from
other chat tools (like Rocket.Chat), the Message dict is not passed to
the markdown, due to which the checks for `self.md.zerver_message` fails
and hence, things like user mentions, stream/topic mentions are not
rendered in the imported messages properly.
These changes are all independent of each other; I just didn’t feel
like making dozens of commits for them.

This adds a new class called MessageRenderingResult to contain the

This is a preparatory change for adding django-stubs to the backend.

This should help with #17425, where messages with lots of LaTeX are
lost, due to the large expansion factor.
This isn't a total fix for this - large messages with lots of LaTeX
can still end up larger than 1MB, and rendering could timeout, but
this fix should help significantly.
1MB is still small enough that I don't expect we'll run into any DOS
problems - my testing didn't show any problems rendering messages that
contain ~1MB of LaTeX.
This will offer users who are self-hosting to adjust
this value. Moreover, this will help to reduce the
overall time taken to test `test_markdown.py` (since
this can be now overridden with `override_settings`
Django decorator).
This is done as a prep commit for #18641.

Prior to this, we only supported direct mention to
the user groups. This commit extends that support
to silent mention for the user groups.
A related test case is also added.
Fixes: #11711.
Earlier, USER_GROUP_MENTIONS_RE was:
r"(?<![^\s\'\"\(,:<])@(\*[^\*]+\*)"
For the syntax: *foo*, this was unnecessarily capturing it as
*foo* and the extraction of `foo` was done using another helper
function: `extract_user_group`.
This is now changed as:
r"(?<![^\s\'\"\(,:<])@(\*(?P<match>[^\*]+)\*)"
and extraction of `foo` can be done just by using the named capture
group `match`.
This change also helps to simplify its related code path.
Earlier, MENTIONS_RE was:
r"(?<![^\s\'\"\(,:<])@(?P<silent>_?)(?P<match>\*\*[^\*]+\*\*)"
For the syntax: **foo**, this was unnecessarily capturing it as
**foo** and adding extra operation for the extraction of `foo`.
This is now changed as:
r"(?<![^\s\'\"\(,:<])@(?P<silent>_?)(\*\*(?P<match>[^\*]+)\*\*)"
and extraction of `foo` can be done just by using the named capture
group `match`.
This change also helps to simplify its related code path.
Following the convention, we use uppercase for
regex. Also, `user_group_mentions` is given a
conventional name ending with `*_RE`: `USER_GROUP_MENTIONS_RE`.
A message containing wildcard mention when quoted (which
is turned into a silent mention) or message with silent
wildcard mention notifies the users by sending desktop,
sound, and missed message email notifications. This
is clearly a bug which is fixed by this commit.
Fixes: #18354.
Requesting external images is a privacy risk, so route all external
images through Camo.
Tweaked by tabbott for better test coverage, more comments, and to fix
bugs.
This logic likely never ran due to a combination of bugs.
* Running `maybe_update_markdown_engines` unconditionally meant that
`if md_engine_key in md_engines` was likely always true.
* Introduced in 65838bb: DEFAULT_MARKDOWN_KEY could never be in
md_engines, so should we have ever reached that code path, we'd have
tried to rebuild all markdown engines every time.
And it also wasn't clearly helpful -- because we fetch all linkifiers
for a realm on every request anyway, we don't really save database
queries by doing a bulk fetch on startup, and doing so would likely
result in a material regression to Zulip's overall startup time that
we were creating markdown engines for large numbers of realms in bulk
during process startup.
This reverts commit 9c6d8d9d81 (#16916).
This feature has known bugs, and also wants some design changes to
make it customizable like linkifiers, so we’re retargeting this to
post-4.x.

Backend logic for handling user mention was cluttered
because it was handled at two stages first in
get_possible_mentions_info while fetching mention data
based on the messsage and then later in UserMentionPattern
which handles processing of text for mention.
Ideally UserMentionPattern should depend on
get_possible_mentions_info only for data but there was a
shared logic between these two that made it hard to debug
any possible bugs.
Updates in this commit make both of these functions
coherent in terms of logic and also add appropiate
comments to improve readability of these functions.
There was also a hidden bug that if a user A is
mentioned in with @**name|id** then @**invalid|id**
again mentioned A because of the way we handled mentions
earlier. It is solved as a result of this refactor and
appropiate test has been added for this.
This has been tested manually as well as by adding new
test to address missing case.
Extend our markdown system to support mentioning of users
by id also. Following these changes, it would be possible
to mention users with @**|user_id** and silently mention
using @_**|user_id**.
Main intention for extending the mention syntax is to make
it convenient for bots to mention a users using their ids. It
is to be noted that previous syntax are also supported.
Documentation tweaked by tabbott for better readability.
The changes were tested manually in development server, and also
by adding some new backend and frontend tests.
Fixes: #17487.
We add support to shorten links and test their shortening in
well-organized, clean manner that makes it trivial to extend the
GitHub approach for GitLab and perhaps other services.
We only shorten basic types of GitHub links (issue, PR, commit) that
fit a set of simple common patterns; the default behaviour of Autolink
is kept for everything else.
Logic added in frontend and backend Markdown Processor is identical.
This makes easy to extend the logic for other services like GitLab.
Fixes#11895.
Modifies `StreamPattern` and `StreamTopicPattern` to inherit
from InlineProcessor instead of Pattern. This change is done
because Pattern stopped checking for matching patterns as soon
as it found a match which was not a valid stream. Due to this
all the subsequent mention failed, even if they were valid.
This bug was only present in backend renderring due to
markdown.inlinepatterns.Pattern.
Due to above changes verbose_compile is no longer used for
precompiling STREAM_LINK_REGEX, STREAM_TOPIC_LINK_REGEX as
adds ^(.*?) and (.*?)$ which cause extra overhead of matching
pattern which is not required. With new InlineProcessor these
extra patterns at beggining and end are not required.
So, StreamPattern and StreamTopicPattern now define their own
__init__ method for precompiling the regex.
