- Updated session control mechanisms to ensure proper handling of remote input and clipboard operations.
- Introduced session authorization checks to validate operator permissions before starting desktop sessions.
- Improved input injection logic to prevent unauthorized access during active sessions.
- Added new capabilities for managing session flags and controls, ensuring a more robust and secure desktop experience.
- Enhanced error handling and logging for better traceability of session-related actions.
- Introduced a new step in the CI workflow to check browser JavaScript syntax using the `npm run check:frontend` command.
- Updated package version to 3.5.14 and bumped dependencies: nodemailer to 9.0.4 and ws to 8.21.2.
- Enhanced logging configuration to use NODE_ENV for determining log level.
- Improved accessibility styles for UX 3.5 and added focus outlines for help panel elements.
Panel Redirect URLs on :5000/:5443 used to 404, so auth-query never completed. Proxy the callback to Go, validate the path in Settings, and document the fix.
Default C:\BetterDeskConsole installs no longer treat C:\ as the project root, so installer file writes and SHA tracking succeed; NSSM Access Denied on server restart is non-critical.
Node no longer pre-emptively falls back to :5443 when systemd grants bind capability. Repair HTTPS/TLS syncs PORT=80 with HTTPS_PORT=443; installer health checks and post-toggle tests surface fallback-port mismatches.
Commit web-nodejs lockfile with tar override; CI uses npm ci and moderate npm audit.
Add LOG_LEVEL filtering and log redaction in Node console and Go server.
Validate WS tokens on bd-signal; require single-use token for remote-agent relay.
Limit active relay sessions per IP and block open enrollment without TLS.
Help operators reach the panel at https://domain without :5443 via installer prompts, docs, and cleaner HTTP redirects, and align fresh-install self-signed cert permissions with the #219 deploy flow.
- Implemented input validation for `orgId` and `deviceId` in CDAP and organization detail routes using `assertSafeApiId`, returning a 400 error for invalid inputs.
- Added HTML escaping for `deviceId` and `orgId` in views to prevent XSS vulnerabilities.
- Hardened `patch-role-scope-i18n.js` against prototype pollution with a guard for unsafe nested keys.
- Updated CodeQL configuration to include new exclusions and ensure documented exclusions are applied.
Implement keyboard mode options (Legacy, Map, Auto) and a reset keyboard feature in the remote viewer. Update UI to include buttons for selecting keyboard mode and resetting the keyboard state, enhancing user control over remote input settings. Update localization files for new strings across multiple languages.
Replace invalid prototype getter syntax in local-files.js and mesh-files.js
so the file transfer modal loads in browsers. Panel updates patch
betterdesk-server.service via a passwordless-sudo helper instead of
interactive sudo tee.
Refs #217
Unify .env and systemd updates on protocol toggle, probe the correct panel
port (5443 vs 5000), and match Client API TLS in post-config tests. Use 307
redirect and skip HSTS for self-signed installs so browsers can return to HTTP.
- Added session management features to synchronize media capture and input handling across active tabs.
- Updated audio handling to respect session activity and mute states.
- Improved clipboard functionality to only allow copying to local clipboard from the active session.
- Refactored input capture logic to ensure it only activates for the active viewer tab.
- Introduced a new `syncSessionMediaCapture` function to manage media input across sessions.
- Introduced email notifications for help requests, allowing operators assigned to device folders or groups to receive alerts.
- Moved SMTP configuration to **Settings → Email**, including options for host, credentials, and alert email.
- Updated console layout for better usability and removed legacy SMTP automation tab.
- Added `nodemailer` as a dependency for email handling.
Use plainBodyObject() for device file read API to avoid array .length
tampering; rate-limit ticket DELETE; document intentional sanitizers in
codeql-config.yml for branding, fonts, network monitor, and server paths.
Refs #196
Translate Organizations device-groups UI across all locales, consolidate [Unreleased] notes for 3.3.0, and copy VERSION into native console paths (#192).
Updated CodeQL configuration to exclude additional paths for security checks. Introduced a new file access rate limiter to prevent abuse of file download endpoints. Improved path resolution functions to ensure confined access and added validation in body scalar functions to reject non-scalar types. Enhanced error handling in API endpoint validation to prevent invalid inputs.
- Added functionality to clear stale update results when the local SHA matches the target SHA, preventing unnecessary warnings in the panel.
- Enhanced the update result persistence logic to filter out non-critical failures, ensuring only actionable errors are displayed.
- Updated the update service to handle remote SHA retrieval and integrate with the new result display logic.
- Improved tests for the update result handling to cover new behaviors and ensure reliability.
Centralize path-segment validation in goApiProxy for fleet/commercialization/cross-platform routes while preserving RustDesk peer ID compatibility; sanitize panel JS output and cap audit Recent queries.
Add goApiPath guard on betterdeskApi axios requests, sanitize org/device
IDs in policy routes, and confine server-management directory listings
with resolveChildPath.
Stop logging generated admin passwords, redact API login usernames,
confine font and file-transfer temp paths with safePath, and scope
GitHub Actions permissions in build.yml.
After deleting dev-only i18n scripts from the repo, post-update repair
was still trying to fetch them from GitHub (404). Exclude removed paths
from repair seeds and delete root-level script files on removal.
Hardened installs could not replace betterdesk-server in /opt/rustdesk
from Settings → Updates. Add a validated sudo deploy helper, extend
console update sudoers, and sync privileges before server deploy.
Fixes#183
Introduce bump-version.js with CI workflows for patch bumps on dev and
stable releases on main, plus panel and installer UI to choose stable vs
development GitHub update branches.
Security update H-7 runs the console as User=betterdesk, which cannot bind
ports below 1024 without CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE. Fall back to high ports at
startup, add the capability to systemd when .env uses :443/:80, and handle
EACCES on listen without an unhandled process crash.
Added a new API endpoint to retrieve the last update result, enhancing the user interface by displaying detailed error messages for failed updates. Improved the update completion modal to reflect the status of services and console restarts, ensuring users are informed of any issues. Updated the settings JavaScript to load and display the last update result dynamically, improving overall user experience during updates.
Hash RustDesk access tokens at rest (phase 1), add SSRF guards for admin network tools with LAN monitoring support, run dedicated console service user on Linux, and hook post-update verification plus service patching into both betterdesk.sh and the in-app updater.
Merge .env keys instead of replacing files, patch systemd/NSSM in place,
block panel updates when the server cannot be rebuilt, and stop routine
updates from syncing admin passwords from .env into auth.db/PostgreSQL.
