This makes it relatively easy for a system administrator to
temporarily override these values after a desktop app security
release that they want to ensure all of their users take.
We're not putting this in settings, since we don't want to encourage
accidental long-term overrides of these important-to-security values.
This is a full-stack change:
- server
- JS code
- templates
It's all pretty simple--just use stream_id instead
of stream_name.
I am 99% sure we don't document this API nor use it
in mobile, so it should be a safe change.
This commit introduces two new functions in 'url_encoding.py' which
centralize two common patterns for constructing redirect URLs. It
also migrates the files using those patterns to use the new
functions.
This allows us to block use of the desktop app with insecure versions
(we simply fail to load the Zulip webapp at all, instead rendering an
error page).
For now we block only versions that are known to be both insecure and
not auto-updating, but we can easily adjust these parameters in the
future.
This improves the error handling for invalid values of the
propagate_mode parameter to our message editing endpoints.
Previously, invalid values would just work like change_one rather than
doing nothing.
URLs for config errors were configured seperately for each error
which is better handled by having error name as argument in URL.
A new view `config_error_view` is added containing context for
each error that returns `config_error` page with the relevant
context.
Also fixed tests and some views in `auth.py` to be consistent with
changes.
Saying `foo.lstrip('# ')` does more than just remove
a '# ' prefix. It removes any combination of '#' and
spaces.
We now make the intention slightly more clear.
We would strip these as you'd expect:
# foo
## foo
### foo
but for this we now only strip the first "#":
# # # # # foo
Thanks to @minusworld for catching this--see #14264, which
points out that lstrip() doesn't do what your intuition
might tell you it does.
Now we properly remove the "HTTP_" prefix.
It's not clear to me why we need these prefixes for Django
purposes in the fixtures, but I didn't want to go down
the rabbit hole of fixing those.
To test:
got to http://YOUR-DEV_SERVER/devtools/integrations/
select "bitbucket3" for the integration.
select "diagnostics_ping.json" for the fixture.
see "X_EVENT_KEY" in "Custom HTTP Headers"
Fixes#14264
We had a bunch of ugly hacks to monkey patch things due to upstream
being temporarily unmaintained and not merging PRs. Now the project is
active again and the fixes have been merged and included in the latest
version - so we clean up all that code.
This ensures that even if it were possible to create an MIT Kerberos
account with a malicious username and/or hack webathena to pretend
that's the case, one couldn't do anything malicious.
This security improvement only impacts a single installation of Zulip
where Zephyr mirroring is in use that has already had the fix applied,
so there's no reason to do a security notice for it.
Found by Graham Bleaney using pysa.
This refactors get_members_backend to return user data of a single
user in the form of a dictionary (earlier being a list with a single
dictionary).
This also refactors it to return the data with an appropriate key
(inside a dictionary), "user" or "members", according to the type of
data being returned.
Tweaked by tabbott to use somewhat less opaque code and simple OpenAPI
descriptions.
The "sender" property in `send_message_backend` is meant to only do
something when doing Zephyr mirroring (or similar). We should help
clients behave correctly by banning this property in requests that are
not specifically requesting mirroring behavior.
This commit requires changes to a number of tests that incorrectly
passed this parameter or didn't use the right setup for mirroring.
This extends our email address visibility settings to deny access to
user email addresses even to organization administrators.
At the moment, they can of course change the setting (which leaves an
audit trail), but in the future only organization owners will be able
to change that setting.
While we're at this, we rewrite the settings_data.js test to cover all
the cases in a more consistent way.
Fixes#14111.
We were using `code` to pass around messages.
The `code` field is designed to be a code, not
a human-readable message.
It's possible that we don't actually need two
flavors of messages for these type of validations,
but I didn't want to change that yet.
We **definitely** don't need to put two types of
message in the exception, so I fix that. Instead,
I just have the caller ask what level of detail
it needs.
I added a non-verbose message for the case of
system bots.
I removed the non-translated version of the message
for deactivated accounts, which didn't have test
coverage and is slightly more prone to leaking
email info that we don't want to leak.
We are trying to elminate the version of
`validate_email` that lives in `actions.py`.
Inlining it barely increases the code size, and
it removes some noise related the three-item
tuple that `check_incoming_email` returns.
Now called:
validate_email_not_already_in_realm
We have a separate validation function that
makes sure that the email fits into a realm's
domain scheme, and we want to avoid naming
confusion here.
Users who are using ZulipDesktop or haven't managed to auto-update to
ZulipElectron should be strongly encouraged to upgrade.
We'll likely want to move to something even stricter that blocks
loading the app at all, but this is a good start.
This gives them cache-compatible URLs, and also avoids some extra
copies of the sprite sheet images.

So far the conversion was in a very random place -
register_remote_user(). All other codepaths that use
login_or_register_remote_user() call it with the user's email address.
Making remote_user_sso convert remote_username to the email address
before calling login_or_register_remote_user makes this usage consistent
across the board.
finish_desktop_flow is called with the assumption that the request
successfully proved control over the user_profile and generates a
special link to log into the user_profile account. There's no reason to
pass the realm param, as user_profile.realm can be assumed.
In `auth.py` there are three `if` blocks for different backends
to redirect to config error page with similar code. It is better
handled with common code using `get_attr()` function on
constructed setting names.
Create a new page for desktop auth flow, in which
users can select one from going to the app or
continue the flow in the browser.

Django 2.2.x is the next LTS release after Django 1.11.x; I expect
we'll be on it for a while, as Django 3.x won't have an LTS release
series out for a while.
Because of upstream API changes in Django, this commit includes
several changes beyond requirements and:
* urls: django.urls.resolvers.RegexURLPattern has been replaced by
django.urls.resolvers.URLPattern; affects OpenAPI code and related
features which re-parse Django's internals.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28593
* test_runner: Change number to suffix. Django changed the name in this
ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28578
* Delete now-unnecessary SameSite cookie code (it's now the default).
* forms: urlsafe_base64_encode returns string in Django 2.2.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/utils/#django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_encode
* upload: Django's File.size property replaces _get_size().
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/_modules/django/core/files/base/
* process_queue: Migrate to new autoreload API.
* test_messages: Add an extra query caused by .refresh_from_db() losing
the .select_related() on the Realm object.
* session: Sync SessionHostDomainMiddleware with Django 2.2.
There's a lot more we can do to take advantage of the new release;
this is tracked in #11341.
Many changes by Tim Abbott, Umair Waheed, and Mateusz Mandera squashed
are squashed into this commit.
Fixes#10835.
This makes it possible to create a Zulip account from the mobile or
desktop apps and have the end result be that the user is logged in on
their mobile device.
We may need small changes in the desktop and/or mobile apps to support
this.
Closes#10859.
We now validate streams with a separate
function from PM recipients.
It's confusing enough all the ways you can
encode a stream or encode the PM recipients,
but trying to do it all in one function was
hard to reason about and led to at least one
bug.
In particular, there was a bug where streams
with commas in them would get split. Now
we just don't ever split on commas inside
of `extract_stream_indicator`.
Fixes#13836
This adds a new API endpoint for querying basic data on a single other
user in the organization, reusing the existing infrastructure (and
view function!) for getting data on all users in an organization.
Fixes#12277.
The word "status" is vague, and this isn't
actually returning a list, so we now name it
get_presence_response.
I originally was gonna rename this to
get_presence_dict, but there's a function
called get_status_dict that returns a subset
of the response, so I think it's a bit more
clear that this is the bigger dict that
actually gets sent back.
We want to err on the side of server_timestamp being
old, since we may eventually use this to make responses
just include incremental changes, and we don't want a
time window (however small) when we miss presence rows.
The clients will be able to deal with duplicate data
to the extent that the time windows are overlapping.
Also, extracting the other local var here
(for `presences`) will set up a subsequent commit
where we re-format the data for clients with
slim_presence=True.
This commit includes a new `stream_post_policy` setting,
by replacing the `is_announcement_only` field from the Stream model,
which is done by mirroring the structure of the existing
`create_stream_policy`.
It includes the necessary schema and database migrations to migrate
the is_announcement_only boolean field to stream_post_policy,
a smallPositiveInteger field similar to many other settings.
This change is done to allow organization administrators to restrict
new members from creating and posting to a stream. However, this does
not affect admins who are new members.
With many tweaks by tabbott to documentation under /help, etc.
Fixes#13616.
This flag affects page_params and the
payload you get back from POSTs to this
url:
users/me/presence
The flag does not yet affect the
presence events that get sent to a
client.
validate_otp_params needs to be moved to backends.py, because as of this
commit it'll be used both there and in views.auth - and import from
views.auth to backends.py causes circular import issue.
This makes get_raw_user_data, which was being imported indirectly
from zerver.lib.events inside zerver/views/users.py, get imported
from zerver.lib.users where it actually is.
The `notification_settings_null` field of the `client_capabilities`
parameter is, apparently unintentionally, required.
This is mostly harmless. However, if any _future_ fields are made
required, all existing clients using this parameter will break, and it
will be needlessly difficult for new clients to specify new
capabilities in a backwards-compatible way.
Attempt to stave that possibility off with warnings.
(No functional changes.)
Now that we have the type situation of having anchor support passing a
string, this is a much more natural way to implement
use_first_unread_anchor.
We still support the old interface to avoid breaking compatibility
with legacy versions of the mobile apps.
A wart that has long been present inin Zulip's get_messages API is how
to request "the latest messages" in the API. Previously, the
recommendation was basically to pass anchor=10000000000000000 (for an
appropriately huge number). An accident of the server's implementation
meant that specific number of 0s was actually important to avoid a
buggy (or at least wasteful) value of found_newest=False if the query
had specified num_after=0 (since we didn't check).
This was the cause of the mobile issue
https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/3654.
The solution is to allow passing a special value of anchor='newest',
basically a special string-type value that the server can interpret as
meaning the user precisely just wants the most recent messages. We
also add an analogous anchor='oldest' or similar to avoid folks
needing to write a somewhat ugly anchor=0 for fetching the very first
messages.
We may want to also replace the use_first_unread_anchor argument to be
a "first_unread" value for the anchor parameter.
While it's not always ideal to make a value have a variable type like
this, in this case it seems like a really clean way to express the
idea of what the user is asking for in the API.
This fixes a bug where that clients using the legacy approach of a
"very large anchor" value with the intent to only get the most recent
messages would only get found_newest=True if they used the specific
value LARGER_THAN_MAX_MESSAGE_ID. Now any value at least that large
will work.
In upcoming commits, we plan to replace this with passing the string
"last", but it seems worth removing the buggy "special value" behavior
while we're touching this code.
In Django 2.0, request.user.is_authenticated stops supporting
`.is_authenticated()` and becomes just a property. In 1.11, it's a
CallableProperty (i.e. can be used either way), and we already use it
as a property in several other places, so we should just switch to
using it consistently now to get it off of our Django 2.x migration
checklist.
Adding invited users to the notifications stream unconditionally isn't
a correct behaviour for guest users, where the previous behavior of
including the notifications stream no longer makes sense. Therefore,
while inviting a new user, the notifications stream is listed along
with other streams with a message "recieves notifications for new
streams" in order to distinguish it from other streams.
Fixes#13645.
The desktop otp flow (to be added in next commits) will want to generate
one-time tokens for the app that will allow it to obtain an
authenticated session. log_into_subdomain will be the endpoint to pass
the one-time token to. Currently it uses signed data as its input
"tokens", which is not compatible with the otp flow, which requires
simpler (and fixed-length) token. Thus the correct scheme to use is to
store the authenticated data in redis and return a token tied to the
data, which should be passed to the log_into_subdomain endpoint.
In this commit, we replace the "pass signed data around" scheme with the
redis scheme, because there's no point having both.
This extracts a function for computing show_invites and
show_add_streams, for better readability and testability.
This commit was substantially cleaned up by tabbott.
This legacy cross-realm bot hasn't been used in several years, as far
as I know. If we wanted to re-introduce it, I'd want to implement it
as an embedded bot using those common APIs, rather than the totally
custom hacky code used for it that involves unnecessary queue workers
and similar details.
Fixes#13533.
authenticate_remote_user already takes care of calling the authenticate
with the dummy backend. Also, return_data is not used and catching
DoesNotExist exception is not needed, as the dummy backend just returns
None if user isn't found.
In other places where we set request._email, we set it to the
delivery_email, as that's more informative in orgs with hidden email
settings, where user.email will be useless.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Previously, if you tried to invite a user whose account had been
deactivated, we didn't provide a clear path forward for reactivating
the users, which was confusing.
We fix this by plumbing through to the frontend the information that
there is an existing user account with that email address in this
organization, but that it's deactivated. For administrators, we
provide a link for how to reactivate the user.
Fixes#8144.
This experimental setting disables sending private messages in Zulip
in a crude way (i.e. users get an error when they try to send one).
It makes no effort to adjust the UI to avoid advertising the idea of
sending private messages.
Fixes#6617.
