If someone tries logging in to an account and is prompted for a 2FA
code or sign-in token, even if the account's password or e-mail is
updated in the meantime, the session will show the prompt and allow
the login process to complete with a valid 2FA code or sign-in token
* Add more specific error message when request body digest is invalid
This may help other implementors debug their implementation.
* Relax Host parameter requirement to GET requests
The only POST requests processed by Mastodon need objects/actors (including
their host) to be explicitly mentioned in the request's body, so replaying
a legitimate request to another host should not be a security issue.
* Support Digest headers using multiple algorithms or lowercase alogirthm names
* Add support for followers synchronization on the receiving end
Check the `collectionSynchronization` attribute on `Create` and `Announce`
activities and synchronize followers from provided collection if possible.
* Add tests for followers synchronization on the receiving end
* Add support for follower synchronization on the sender's end
* Add tests for the sending end
* Switch from AS attributes to HTTP header
Replace the custom `collectionSynchronization` ActivityStreams attribute by
an HTTP header (`X-AS-Collection-Synchronization`) with the same syntax as
the `Signature` header and the following fields:
- `collectionId` to specify which collection to synchronize
- `digest` for the SHA256 hex-digest of the list of followers known on the
receiving instance (where “receiving instance” is determined by accounts
sharing the same host name for their ActivityPub actor `id`)
- `url` of a collection that should be fetched by the instance actor
Internally, move away from the webfinger-based `domain` attribute and use
account `uri` prefix to group accounts.
* Add environment variable to disable followers synchronization
Since the whole mechanism relies on some new preconditions that, in some
extremely rare cases, might not be met, add an environment variable
(DISABLE_FOLLOWERS_SYNCHRONIZATION) to disable the mechanism altogether and
avoid followers being incorrectly removed.
The current conditions are:
1. all managed accounts' actor `id` and inbox URL have the same URI scheme and
netloc.
2. all accounts whose actor `id` or inbox URL share the same URI scheme and
netloc as a managed account must be managed by the same Mastodon instance
as well.
As far as Mastodon is concerned, breaking those preconditions require extensive
configuration changes in the reverse proxy and might also cause other issues.
Therefore, this environment variable provides a way out for people with highly
unusual configurations, and can be safely ignored for the overwhelming majority
of Mastodon administrators.
* Only set follower synchronization header on non-public statuses
This is to avoid unnecessary computations and allow Follow-related
activities to be handled by the usual codepath instead of going through
the synchronization mechanism (otherwise, any Follow/Undo/Accept activity
would trigger the synchronization mechanism even if processing the activity
itself would be enough to re-introduce synchronization)
* Change how ActivityPub::SynchronizeFollowersService handles follow requests
If the remote lists a local follower which we only know has sent a follow
request, consider the follow request as accepted instead of sending an Undo.
* Integrate review feeback
- rename X-AS-Collection-Synchronization to Collection-Synchronization
- various minor refactoring and code style changes
* Only select required fields when computing followers_hash
* Use actor URI rather than webfinger domain in synchronization endpoint
* Change hash computation to be a XOR of individual hashes
Makes it much easier to be memory-efficient, and avoid sorting discrepancy issues.
* Marginally improve followers_hash computation speed
* Further improve hash computation performances by using pluck_each
* Add bell button
Fix#4890
* Remove duplicate type from post-deployment migration
* Fix legacy class type mappings
* Improve query performance with better index
* Fix validation
* Remove redundant index from notifications
* Do not serve account actors at all in limited federation mode
When an account is fetched without a signature from an allowed instance,
return an error.
This isn't really an improvement in security, as the only information that was
previously returned was required protocol-level info, and the only personal bit
was the existence of the account. The existence of the account can still be
checked by issuing a webfinger query, as those are accepted without signatures.
However, this change makes it so that unallowed instances won't create account
records on their end when they find a reference to an unknown account.
The previous behavior of rendering a limited list of fields, instead of not
rendering the actor at all, was in order to prevent situations in which two
instances in Authorized Fetch mode or Limited Federation mode would fail to
reach each other because resolving an account would require a signed query…
from an account which can only be fetched with a signed query itself. However,
this should now be fine as fetching accounts is done by signing on behalf of
the special instance actor, which does not require any kind of valid signature
to be fetched.
* Fix tests
* Add database support for list show-reply preferences
* Add backend support to read and update list-specific show_replies settings
* Add basic UI to set list replies setting
* Add specs for list replies policy
* Switch "cycling" reply policy link to a set of radio inputs
* Capitalize replies_policy strings
* Change radio button design to be consistent with that of the directory explorer
* Make Array-creation behavior of Paginable more predictable
Paginable.paginate_by_id usually returns ActiveRecord::Relation, but it
returns an Array if min_id option is present. The behavior caused problems
fixed with the following commits:
- 976938bf30
- 5a8fa3ad95
- 1c70d8189c
To prevent from recurring similar problems, this commit introduces two
changes:
- The scope now always returns an Array whether min_id option is present
or not.
- The scope is renamed to to_a_paginated_by_id to clarify it returns an
Array.
* Transform Paginable.to_a_paginated_by_id from a scope to a class method
https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Scoping/Named/ClassMethods.html#method-i-scope
> The method is intended to return an ActiveRecord::Relation object, which
> is composable with other scopes.
Paginable.to_a_paginated_by_id returns an Array and is not appropriate
as a scope.
* Replace incorrect use of distinct with group
Some uses of ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#distinct pass field names but they
are incorrect for the current version of Rails.
ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#group provides the expected behavior and
benefits performance. See commit 6da24aad4cafdef8d8a2c92bac2002a5fc2fe9c8.
* Introduce ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id
ApplicationController#cache_collection_paginated_by_id fuses
ApplicationController#cache_collection and Paginable.paginate_by_id.
An advantage of this method is that it prevents from modifying scope which
Paginable.paginate_by_id may provide.
ApplicationController#cache_collection always return an array and there
is no possibility of the scope modification. It is also clear for a
programmer, considering the implication of "cache".
This method can also emit more efficient queries by using
Cacheable.cache_ids before calling Paginable.paginate_by_id.
Some uses of ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#distinct pass field names but they
are incorrect for the current version of Rails.
ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#group provides the expected behavior and
benefits performance. See commit 6da24aad4cafdef8d8a2c92bac2002a5fc2fe9c8.
The old implementation had two queries:
1. The query constructed in Api::V1::FavouritesController#results
2. The query constructed in #cached_favourites, which is merged with 1.
Both of them are issued againt PostgreSQL. The combination of the two
queries caused the following problems:
- The small window between the two queries involves race conditions.
- Minor performance inefficiency.
Moreover, the construction of query 2, which involves merging with query
1 has a bug. Query 1 is finalized with paginate_by_id, but paginate_by_id
returns an array when min_id parameter is specified. The behavior prevents
from merging the query, and in the real world, ActiveRecord simply ignores
the merge (!), which results in querying the entire scan of statuses and
favourites table.
This change fixes these issues by simply letting query 1 get all the works
done.
DISTINCT clause removes duplicated records according to all the selected
attributes. In reality, it can remove duplicated records only looking at
statuses.id, but the clause confuses the query planner and yields
insufficient performance.
The behavior is also problematic if the scope produced by HashQueryService
is used to query columns without id (using pluck method, for example). The
scope is expected to contain unique statuses, but the uniquness will be
evaluated with some arbitrary columns other than id.
GROUP BY clause resolves those problem by explicitly specifying the
column to take into account for the record distinction.
A workaround for the problem of DISTINCT clause in
Api::V1::Timelines::TagController is no longer necessary and removed.
* Add support for latest HTTP Signatures spec draft
https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-message-signatures-00.html
- add support for the “hs2019” signature algorithm (assumed to be equivalent
to RSA-SHA256, since we do not have a mechanism to specify the algorithm
within the key metadata yet)
- add support for (created) and (expires) pseudo-headers and related
signature parameters, when using the hs2019 signature algorithm
- adjust default “headers” parameter while being backwards-compatible with
previous implementation
- change the acceptable time window logic from 12 hours surrounding the “date”
header to accepting signatures created up to 1 hour in the future and
expiring up to 1 hour in the past (but only allowing expiration dates up to
12 hours after the creation date)
This doesn't conform with the current draft, as it doesn't permit accounting
for clock skew.
This, however, should be addressed in a next version of the draft:
https://github.com/httpwg/http-extensions/pull/1235
* Add additional signature requirements
* Rewrite signature params parsing using Parslet
* Make apparent which signature algorithm Mastodon on verification failure
Mastodon uses RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, which is not recommended for new applications,
and new implementers may thus unknowingly use RSASSA-PSS.
* Add workaround for PeerTube's invalid signature header
The previous parser allowed incorrect Signature headers, such as
those produced by old versions of the `http-signature` node.js package,
and seemingly used by PeerTube.
This commit adds a workaround for that.
* Fix `signature_key_id` raising an exception
Previously, parsing failures would result in `signature_key_id` being nil,
but the parser changes made that result in an exception.
This commit changes the `signature_key_id` method to return `nil` in case
of parsing failures.
* Move extra HTTP signature helper methods to private methods
* Relax (request-target) requirement to (request-target) || digest
This lets requests from Plume work without lowering security significantly.
* feat: add possibility of adding WebAuthn security keys to use as 2FA
This adds a basic UI for enabling WebAuthn 2FA. We did a little refactor
to the Settings page for editing the 2FA methods – now it will list the
methods that are available to the user (TOTP and WebAuthn) and from
there they'll be able to add or remove any of them.
Also, it's worth mentioning that for enabling WebAuthn it's required to
have TOTP enabled, so the first time that you go to the 2FA Settings
page, you'll be asked to set it up.
This work was inspired by the one donde by Github in their platform, and
despite it could be approached in different ways, we decided to go with
this one given that we feel that this gives a great UX.

* feat: add request for WebAuthn as second factor at login if enabled
This commits adds the feature for using WebAuthn as a second factor for
login when enabled.
If users have WebAuthn enabled, now a page requesting for the use of a
WebAuthn credential for log in will appear, although a link redirecting
to the old page for logging in using a two-factor code will also be
present.

* feat: add possibility of deleting WebAuthn Credentials

* feat: disable WebAuthn when an Admin disables 2FA for a user
Co-authored-by: Facundo Padula <facundo.padula@cedarcode.com>
* feat: remove ability to disable TOTP leaving only WebAuthn as 2FA
Following examples form other platforms like Github, we decided to make
Webauthn 2FA secondary to 2FA with TOTP, so that we removed the
possibility of removing TOTP authentication only, leaving users with
just WEbAuthn as 2FA. Instead, users will have to click on 'Disable 2FA'
in order to remove second factor auth.
The reason for WebAuthn being secondary to TOPT is that in that way,
users will still be able to log in using their code from their phone's
application if they don't have their security keys with them – or maybe
even lost them.
* We had to change a little the flow for setting up TOTP, given that now
it's possible to setting up again if you already had TOTP, in order to
let users modify their authenticator app – given that now it's not
possible for them to disable TOTP and set it up again with another
authenticator app.
So, basically, now instead of storing the new `otp_secret` in the
user, we store it in the session until the process of set up is
finished.
This was because, as it was before, when users clicked on 'Edit' in
the new two-factor methods lists page, but then went back without
finishing the flow, their `otp_secret` had been changed therefore
invalidating their previous authenticator app, making them unable to
log in again using TOTP.

* refactor: fix eslint errors
The PR build was failing given that linting returning some errors.

This commits fixes that.
* refactor: avoid having the webauthn gem locked to a specific version
* refactor: use symbols for routes without '/'
* refactor: avoid sending webauthn disabled email when 2FA is disabled
When an admins disable 2FA for users, we were sending two mails
to them, one notifying that 2FA was disabled and the other to notify
that WebAuthn was disabled.
As the second one is redundant since the first email includes it, we can
remove it and send just one email to users.

* Increase DNS timeout from 1 second to 5 seconds for MX check
1 seconds is rather short when using a recursive DNS resolver which

which is the timeout value we use for outgoing HTTP queries.
* Add more precise error messages for invalid e-mail addresses

* Display appropriate error when performing unpermitted operation on custom emoji
Fixes#13897
* Remove links to custom emoji actions not performable by moderators
When attempting to access the log-in page while already logged in,
Devise's `require_no_authentication` kicks in and sets a flash
message “You are already signed in.”
In almost all cases, this also causes a redirect to /web, which
does not display or clear flash messages, thus leaving the message
to a potentially much later date, like for instance, accessing
/preferences several minutes after being redirected to /web.
This is achieved by sending a DELETE request to
/settings/profile/pictures/{avatar,header} via a link that is part of
the upload form's hint of the respective picture.

* Add support for hiding followers and following of remote users
* Switch to using a single `hide_collections` column
* Address code style remarks
`request.format` is not a symbol but a `Mime::Type`, so the condition actually
never matched, and a session was created even for those requests, preventing
caching.
Instead of returning a signature verification error, pretend there
was no signature (i.e., this does not allow access to resources that
need a valid signature), so public resources can still be fetched

* Change meaning of /api/v1/announcements/:id/dismiss to mark an announcement as read
* Change how unread announcements are counted in UI
* Add unread marker to announcements and mark announcements as unread as they are displayed

Change `all_day` to be a visual client-side cue only
Publish immediately if `scheduled_at` is in the past
Add `published_at` and `updated_at` to announcements JSON
While making browser requests in the other sessions after a password
change or reset does not allow you to be logged in and correctly
invalidates the session making the request, sessions have API tokens
associated with them, which can still be used until that session
is invalidated.
This is a security issue for accounts that were already compromised
some other way because it makes it harder to throw out the hijacker.

* Add follow_request notification type
The notification type already existed in the backend but was never pushed
to the front-end. This also means translation strings were also available
for the backend, from the notification mailer.
Unlike other notification types, these are off by default, to match what
I remember of Gargron's view on the topic: that follow requests should not
clutter notifications and should instead be reviewed at the user's own
leisure in the dedicated column.
Since follow requests have their own column, I've deemed it unnecessary to
add a specific tab for them in the notification quick filter.
* Show follow request link in single-column if there are pending requests, even if account isn't locked
* Push follow requests from notifications to the follow_requests list
* Offer to accept or reject follow request from the notification

* Remove unused locale string
Fix#271
Add back the `GET /api/v1/trends` API with the caveat that it does
not return tags that have not been allowed to trend by the staff.
When a hashtag begins to trend (internally) and that hashtag has
not been previously reviewed by the staff, the staff is notified.
The new admin UI for hashtags allows filtering hashtags by where
they are used (e.g. in the profile directory), whether they have
been reviewed or are pending reviewal, they show by how many people
the hashtag is used in the directory, how many people used it
today, how many statuses with it have been created today, and it
allows fixing the name of the hashtag to make it more readable.
The disallowed hashtags feature has been reworked. It is now
controlled from the admin UI for hashtags instead of from
the file `config/settings.yml`
Allow access to account settings, 2FA, authorized applications, and
account deletions to unconfirmed and pending users, as well as
users who had their accounts disabled. Suspended users cannot update
their e-mail or password or delete their account.
Display account status on account settings page, for example, when
an account is frozen, limited, unconfirmed or pending review.
After sign up, login users straight away and show a simple page that
tells them the status of their account with links to account settings
and logout, to reduce onboarding friction and allow users to correct
wrongly typed e-mail addresses.
Move the final sign-up step of SSO integrations to be the same
as above to reduce code duplication.
