UI: group chip buttons changed to icon-only (matching folder chips), Create Group tile styling unified with Create Folder, old .group-chip-action CSS replaced with unified .chip-action class.
Go server: peerResponse and singlePeerResponse now return status as int (1=active, 0=disabled) instead of string, added status_text for admin panel backward compat. Fixes RustDesk client crash 'type String is not a subtype of type int?'.
Go server: new handleUsersWithClientFallback — detects RustDesk client requests to /api/users and returns current user without requiring user.view permission. Fixes disappearing folders/groups caused by _getUsers() 403 short-circuiting _pull().
Node.js: normalisePeer updated to use status_text fallback for status_tier.
Branding: RustDesk Server Management -> BetterDesk Server Management across themes, i18n, settings. Console version bumped to 3.0.0.
This commit was made possible thanks to Insolve.
Multiple security and maintenance fixes across components:
- betterdesk-mgmt: validate peer_id format to prevent injection in connect_to_peer (reject empty/oversized/invalid chars).
- betterdesk-mgmt (tauri.conf.json): tighten CSP by removing 'unsafe-eval' from script-src.
- betterdesk-agent-client: increase device ID entropy from 4 to 8 bytes (BD- prefix) to reduce collision/brute-force risk.
- betterdesk-server: enforce RBAC (operator+) before upgrading CDAP video WebSocket to block unauthorized access.
- betterdesk-server DBs: exclude soft_deleted peers in GetPeer queries for Postgres and SQLite.
- web-nodejs: add audit log housekeeping (hourly cleanup), add indices for audit_log, and implement cleanupOldAuditLogs(days) in sqlite adapter.
- web-nodejs brandingService: validate logo/favicon URLs to allow only http(s) or relative paths, preventing javascript:/data: XSS/SSRF vectors.
- docs: add AUDIT_BETTERDESK_2026-04-17.md (security audit summary).
These changes tighten client CSP, improve input validation, increase device identifier entropy, ensure RBAC is enforced before websocket upgrades, hide soft-deleted peers from normal queries, and add audit log maintenance and DB indexes for better performance and retention management.
Add typography support and a text-based logo option plus several TLS/connectivity improvements. Introduces a new font service (web-nodejs/services/fontService.js) to search, download and serve Google Fonts for self-hosting, new API routes for font management, and client-side font picker UI/logic (settings.js) with CSS (pages.css, main.css) and i18n entries (en/pl/zh). BrandingService now supports logo text/accent and font heading/body and includes generated font CSS. Views (login/sidebar) updated to render text logos and a new theme (themes/insolve.json) added. Server and TLS updates: API server now prefers TLS on the API port when valid certs exist, and dual-mode listener in tls.go adds a short peek timeout to avoid deadlocks with RustDesk clients.
Make TCP and WebSocket signal handling consistent with UDP by sending immediate PunchHoleResponse/RelayResponse (including signed PK, socket_addr, relay server and NAT type) to initiators; add ForceRelay/AlwaysUseRelay handling and ensure WS uses TCP handler. Sign peer PKs for E2E verification and keep TCP keep-alive behavior for later updates.
Refactor web-nodejs branding and backup/database code: introduce async branding cache (loadBranding) and async save/reset/import APIs, add branding_config table and DB adapter methods (SQLite/Postgres) plus backup helper methods (getAllUsersForBackup, getAllAddressBooks, restoreUsers, getBackupStats). Update routes/services to use new async DB APIs, warm branding cache at server startup, and adjust heartbeat/register flows to use db helpers. Minor server error page i18n fallbacks and hbbs backend compatibility guard updated.
Also update docs (.github/copilot-instructions.md) to record the TCP signaling fix and Phase 7 resolution.
