Up until now, we have used Devise's Rememberable mechanism to re-log users
after the end of their browser sessions. This mechanism relies on a signed
cookie containing a token. That token was stored on the user's record,
meaning it was shared across all logged in browsers, meaning truly revoking
a browser's ability to auto-log-in involves revoking the token itself, and
revoking access from *all* logged-in browsers.
We had a session mechanism that dynamically checks whether a user's session
has been disabled, and would log out the user if so. However, this would only
clear a session being actively used, and a new one could be respawned with
the `remember_user_token` cookie.
In practice, this caused two issues:
- sessions could be revived after being closed from /auth/edit (security issue)
- auto-log-in would be disabled for *all* browsers after logging out from one
of them
This PR removes the `remember_token` mechanism and treats the `_session_id`
cookie/token as a browser-specific `remember_token`, fixing both issues.
* Add honeypot fields to limit non-specialized spam
Add two honeypot fields: a fake website input and a fake password confirmation
one. The label/placeholder/aria-label tells not to fill them, and they are
hidden in CSS, so legitimate users should not fall into these.
This should cut down on some non-Mastodon-specific spambots.
* Require a 3 seconds delay before submitting the registration form
* Fix tests
* Move registration form time check to model validation
* Give people a chance to clear the honeypot fields
* Refactor honeypot translation strings

While OAuth tokens were immediately revoked, accessing the home
controller immediately generated new OAuth tokens and "revived"
the session due to a combination of using remember_me tokens and
overwriting the `authenticate_user!` method
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.
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.
* Check that an invite link is valid before bypassing approval mode
Fixes#10656
* Add tests
* Only consider valid invite links in registration controller
* fixup
* Add "why do you want to join" field to invite requests
Fix#10512
* Remove unused translations
* Fix broken registrations when no invite request text is submitted
* Add REST API for creating an account
The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client
credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as
an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is
unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual.
The method returns the access token, which the app should save for
later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed
accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a
link in their e-mail inbox.
The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes.
* Redirect users back to app from confirmation if they were created with an app
* Add tests
* Return 403 on the method if registrations are not open
* Require agreement param to be true in the API when creating an account
* Add confirmation step for email changes
This adds a confirmation step for email changes of existing users.
Like the initial account confirmation, a confirmation link is sent
to the new address.
Additionally, a notification is sent to the existing address when
the change is initiated. This message includes instruction to reset
the password immediately or to contact the instance admin if the
change was not initiated by the account owner.
Fixes#3871
* Add review fixes
* Add consumable invites
* Add UI for generating invite codes
* Add tests
* Display max uses and expiration in invites table, delete invite
* Remove unused column and redundant validator
- Default follows not used, probably bad idea
- InviteCodeValidator is redundant because RegistrationsController
checks invite code validity
* Add admin setting to disable invites
* Add admin UI for invites, configurable role for invite creation
- Admin UI that lists everyone's invites, always available
- Admin setting min_invite_role to control who can invite people
- Non-admin invite UI only visible if users are allowed to
* Do not remove invites from database, expire them instantly
* Add overview of active sessions
* Better display of browser/platform name
* Improve how browser information is stored and displayed for sessions overview
* Fix test
An attempt to open a brand new Mastodon instance configured
as SINGLE_USER_MODE=true will cause an exception.
Enable temporary registration if we have no users in the database
Fixes#1817
