* Use jQuery to build the message HTML so that special characters in
the error message, URL, etc. are properly escaped. This helps
avoid XSS vulnerabilities.
* Use bold text for the error message to make it stand out.
* Add a line break between the error message and "in <url> at line
<line>" so that the error message stands out more.
* Use `<p>...</p>` instead of `</br>` to separate the parts of the
popup.
* Use CSS for spacing instead of `</br>`.
* Grammar fixes (add a missing comma, "at" instead of "in").
Teach Gritter to accept anything that jQuery's `.append()` method
accepts for the title and text of a popup message. This makes it
easier to safely build HTML messages with proper escaping of special
characters (to prevent XSS vulnerabilities).
* Avoid a false positive if a Promise that is expected to reject
doesn't reject.
* Use modern JavaScript language features: arrow functions,
`const`/`let` instead of `var`.
* Remove the tests that test Promise behavior.
* Add new test that checks that it returns a Promise.
There are a few problems with sleeping before checking the condition
for the first time:
* It slows down tests.
* The predicate is never checked if the interval duration is greater
than the timeout.
* 0 can't be used to test if the condition is currently true.
There is a minor disadvantage to sleeping before checking: It will
cause more tests to run without an asynchronous interruption, which
could theoretically mask some async bugs.
The `helper.waitFor()` function returns a jQuery Deferred object.
Deferred objects are supposed to have a `.fail()` method that is
chainable (it should return `this`). Before this change,
`helper.waitFor()` monkey-patched the `.fail()` method with a function
that returned `undefined`. Now the monkey-patched `.fail()` returns
the Deferred object.
Also modernize the code a bit.
The debug statement mostly printed the following useless message over
and over, causing Travis CI logs to become truncated:
[DEBUG] pluginfw - [ undefined ] returning
This will be a breaking change for some people.
We removed all internal password control logic. If this affects you, you have two options:
1. Use a plugin for authentication and use session based pad access (recommended).
1. Use a plugin for password setting.
The reasoning for removing this feature is to reduce the overall security footprint of Etherpad. It is unnecessary and cumbersome to keep this feature and with the thousands of available authentication methods available in the world our focus should be on supporting those and allowing more granual access based on their implementations (instead of half assed baking our own).
We could instead await the results of the hook, but then all callers
and their callers recursively would have to be converted to async, and
that's a huge change.
* Run node 10 with '--experimental_worker' flags
* Use dedicated function to retrieve node/npm program version
The goal of this commit is to ensure that any linux based node 10 deployments run with the experimental_worker flag. This flag is required for workers to "work" in node 10. This will not affect other versions of node. This resolves#4335 where Docker would fail due to being based on node 10.
This makes it easier to see the test results, and it hides some
scary-looking but intentional error messages.
This code will likely have to be updated if/when we change the logging
library (see issue #1922).
This currently isn't absolutely necessary because all current callers
of `userCanModify` already check for a read-only pad ID themselves.
However:
* This adds defense in depth.
* This makes it possible to simply replace the import handler's
`allowAnyoneToImport` check with a call to `userCanModify`.
This makes it possible to test various settings combinations and
examine internal state to confirm correct behavior. Also, the user
doesn't need to start an Etherpad server before running these tests.
There's no need to perform an authentication check in the socket.io
middleware because `PadMessageHandler.handleMessage` calls
`SecurityMananger.checkAccess` and that now performs authentication
and authorization checks.
This change also improves the user experience: Before, access denials
caused socket.io error events in the client, which `pad.js` mostly
ignores (the user doesn't see anything). Now a deny message is sent
back to the client, which causes `pad.js` to display an obvious
permission denied message.
This also fixes a minor bug: `settings.loadTest` is supposed to bypass
authentication and authorization checks, but they weren't bypassed
because `SecurityManager.checkAccess` did not check
`settings.loadTest`.
Rather than reinvent the wheel, use a well-tested library to parse and
write cookies. This should also help prevent XSS vulnerabilities
because the library handles special characters such as semicolon.
* Use the cookie functions from `pad_utils.js`.
* Delete unused methods, variables, and parameters.
* Simplify the logic.
* Use an ES6 class instead of a weird literal thingy.
* Use `const` instead of `var`.
