A quarantined file was listed in the library with every button a working
file has, and Download answered with an error page. Three changes, all
the same idea: do not offer what cannot be done.
The library no longer lists a file that is quarantined or missing from
storage. Those two live on the screens that exist to act on them —
Quarantine, and Files missing from storage — and both now link each row
to the file itself, which is where somebody deciding needs to look.
That page says why, at the top, in the colour the state deserves: red
for a threat, amber for bytes that are gone. And it stops offering the
download and the preview, because a button that answers 423 is not an
affordance.
A file still being checked stays in the library. It is about to be
usable, and its uploader should be able to see where it went.
The button was disabled on a library that had already been scanned
once, which is most of the time and exactly when somebody would press
it — after updating definitions, say. It now re-checks everything
rather than only what was never looked at, which is what its name says.
A rescan keeps each file available until its new verdict arrives, so a
full pass takes nothing offline. The two states it skips are a file
already waiting for its first verdict and one whose bytes are gone.
It is disabled for two honest reasons now — scanning is off, or a scan
is already running — and says which.
Results are green, amber and red: checked and fine, checked and could
not be read, checked and something was found. The badge gained a
warning variant to say the middle one, matching the amber the warning
alert already uses; before this a missing file wore the same red as a
virus.
A file found missing is also stamped with the time it was checked, so
it appears in the Activity list. It is a verdict like any other, and
without the stamp it was decided somewhere nobody could see.
tcp://clamav:3310djlkasjdlk connected happily. PHP reads a port the way
atoi does — the digits at the front, the rest ignored — so an address
with a typo on the end was saved, tested, and reported as working, while
tcp://clamav:33101 went somewhere else and failed. The feedback an
operator got had nothing to do with the mistake they made.
ScannerAddress says what an address is: tcp:// with a host and a port of
1 to 65535 and nothing after it, or unix:// with an absolute path. It is
asked in all three places an address arrives — saving, testing, and
connecting. The third matters because a managed address comes from the
environment and never passes the screen.
The answer names the problem rather than reporting "no answer", which
would be true of any unreachable scanner and would send somebody to look
at their network for a typo.
Checked in a browser with both addresses from the report: each is now
refused on Test and on Save, with the same sentence, and
tcp://clamav:3310 still comes back "Working. ClamAV 1.5.4 detected the
test file".
The Test button asked the scanner on file, which makes it useless at
the moment it is most needed: the first attempt, before anything has
been saved. It now tries what is typed, falling back to the stored
address when the field is empty so the button still answers on a screen
nobody has touched. Nothing is written either way — testing is not
saving.
The address travels as a request field and is applied to the request's
own ScanningConfig, which is scoped so the screen and the scanner it
resolves share one. A preview address beats even a managed one, and is
set in exactly one place.
Quarantine now carries a count in the sidebar, like Comments — in amber
rather than the usual colour, because the others count work waiting and
this one counts something that went wrong. Shown only to whoever holds
the permission to act on it.
Both checked in a browser: an address typed and not saved came back
"No answer from tcp://escrito-a-mano.invalid:3310", the stored one
untouched, and the badge renders amber with the real count.
It sat above the form, which read as a box about the screen rather than
about the field. It belongs under "Scanner address" and above Save,
where it is plainly the answer to "is this address right?".
The box is now shown only where there is something to test — an
installation that connects its own scanner. On a hosted one the endpoint
answers 403, and a button that leads to a refusal is worse than no
button. That is a separate prop from `managed`, which covers two
different reasons the address is not editable: a scanner named in the
environment still has a connection worth testing.
"New scan" sits beside Quarantine as the screen's one action, in the
primary colour, on every tab. The "Files already here" box it replaces
is gone: it held an action under a Save button, a counter that the
Activity tab now shows live, and a field that belongs with the other
settings, which is where it is now.
The button says why when it cannot be pressed — scanning is off, every
file has already been checked, or a scan is already running — rather
than sitting grey with no explanation. It refuses a second scan while
one is working through the queue, which is a thing somebody would
otherwise do by clicking twice.
Starting one lands on the Activity tab. A button whose screen looks
unchanged afterwards reads as a button that did nothing, and this one
has somewhere worth looking.
Checked against a real ClamAV: 42 files queued, 31 came back clean, the
rest were the ones whose bytes are missing. The button then disabled
itself, because there was nothing left to scan.
A row whose bytes are gone was recorded as "the scanner could not be
reached". Wrong on screen, and wrong underneath: that is the one reason
the hourly sweep re-queues, so every orphaned row would have been
rescanned hourly forever.
It is its own state now, `missing`, and withheld rather than offered:
a client who sees a file listed and gets an error on the download is
worse off than one who never saw it. Staff still see it, marked, which
is the point — somebody has to decide what to do about it. The refusal
says what it is ("no longer on the server") instead of sending somebody
looking for a permission that would let them through.
A daily `projectsend:check-missing-files` finds them, whether or not
this installation scans for viruses: it is not a virus question, and an
installation with no scanner has exactly the same problem. It compares
one disk listing against the rows rather than asking "does this exist?"
per file, which on object storage would be a request per file per day.
Files that come back — a remount, a restored backup — are picked up on
the next run and re-checked rather than left for dead.
They are listed beside the orphans, which is the same fault seen from
the other end: bytes with no row, rows with no bytes. The tab carries
the count, each row says where the file should be, and removing one
takes the record with it through the deletion that already exists.
The dashboard says how many there are, and so does
`projectsend:status`, because a fleet-wide jump in this is a storage
fault nothing else in that document would show.
A backfill runs for minutes or hours inside a queue worker, where none
of it is visible. The third tab polls every four seconds and says what
is happening: whether anything is running, how many uploads are held,
how deep the queue is, how many files were checked in the last hour,
and the last twenty verdicts with what each one was. When nothing is
running, that same list is the record of the last run, which is what
somebody opening the tab after the fact came for.
Two things the live screen found that the tests had not:
**A backfill read as "nothing is being scanned."** Re-scanning a file
that already went out unchecked deliberately leaves it available, so it
is never "pending" — and the screen counted only pending files. It
counts the scans queue too, and the two are shown separately, because
"an upload nobody can download yet" and "work the scanner has not
reached" are different facts.
**A file whose bytes are missing was recorded as "the scanner could not
be reached."** Wrong on screen, and worse than wrong in behaviour: that
is the one reason the hourly sweep re-queues, so every orphaned row
would have been rescanned every hour forever. It has its own reason
now, and goes through the same policy as a file the scanner could not
open.
Both tabs also gained the header shortcut to Quarantine, and Quarantine
one back to the settings, each shown only to somebody the destination
will actually let in.
"Scan existing files" sat disabled on an installation with a library of
144 of them, and the hourly backfill would have found none either. Both
looked for `scan_note = 'before_scanning'`, and no file on any upgraded
installation carries it: the migration gives `scan_status` its default
and writes no note, and the v1 import inserts rows the same way. The
feature was inert on exactly the libraries it exists for.
A file with no reason beside its "not scanned" is now what it plainly
is — one nothing has ever looked at — through File::neverScanned(),
which the backfill, the counts and the badge all ask. Reported as
"Uploaded before virus scanning was switched on" rather than as a bare
"Not scanned", which is the one badge somebody would have had to come
and ask about.
Found on the real screen, not by a test. The tests now cover the shape
an upgrade actually produces.
The dashboard's System card now says so when no scanner is configured
at all, not only when a configured one is failing: "Anything uploaded
here — by staff, by clients, or through an upload link — is passed on
unchecked", with a link to set it up.
Said only where somebody can act on it. Connecting a scanner is a new
capability, scanning.connect, community only — on a hosted installation
the scanner is infrastructure the platform runs, so its address is not a
tenant's to set and its absence is not a tenant's to fix. The two
policies stay on both editions, because what to do with a file nobody
could scan is a decision about somebody's own files. An edition
difference through the registry, never an edition check.
Also: PROJECTSEND_SCANNER_DEFAULT_ADDRESS, seeded into the settings on
first boot by the command that already does this for two-factor
enforcement. It is the opposite of PROJECTSEND_SCANNER_ADDRESS — a
starting value rather than a policy, so a Docker install that brings up
the optional scanner container arrives configured while the address and
the switch stay on the settings screen. Both are seeded together or
neither: an address with scanning off would look configured and check
nothing.
Nothing changes for an existing installation on upgrade: scanning stays
off, existing files are marked "never scanned", and the scanner
container is still opt-in.
The Test button did nothing visible. The page read `scanner_test_result`
off the shared props, and HandleInertiaRequests shares `success` and
`error` and nothing else — so the answer was set on the session and
never arrived. It is read in the controller and handed over as a prop
now, the way the CAPTCHA screen does it.
The screen is two tabs, Scanner and Options, following the scheduler's
`?tab=` links. Scanner holds the connection and the Test button; Options
holds the policies and the backfill. Both end with their Save, and
nothing sits below it — before this, "Files already here" and its button
were stranded under the Save button of a form they had nothing to do
with.
Verified by clicking the real button in a browser against a real ClamAV:
"Working. ClamAV 1.5.4 detected the test file as Eicar-Test-Signature."
Staff keep seeing every file they always saw — withholding is about
recipients, not about the library — so the library now carries the state
on the row: Checking, Quarantined, Released, or Not scanned with the
reason behind it. Nothing at all for a clean file, which is the common
case.
The API says the same in a `scan` object on every file, with an
`available` flag so a caller need not learn which of six states mean
"you can have it", and `scan_status` is a filter, so an integration can
wait for the file it just uploaded or collect what is in quarantine.
The download endpoint answers 423 for a file that is not available,
which it already did through the shared controller.
Re-exported the OpenAPI document.
Settings → Virus scanning: switch it on, point it at a ClamAV daemon,
choose the two policies, and see how many files are waiting, in
quarantine, or were let through unscanned. Switching it on with no
address is refused rather than saved and left inert.
The Test button is three answers, not one. Unreachable is obvious.
Reachable but detecting nothing is the failure that looks like success
— empty or broken virus definitions — so the test sends the EICAR
string and reports "it found the test file", never "it did not
complain". The string is assembled at runtime so no checkout contains
it: antivirus software on a developer's machine quarantines files that
do.
"Scan existing files" queues the library that predates scanning,
through the hourly command so no request is held open, paced by a
setting so it does not starve today's uploads.
Where the environment names a scanner, the connection and the on/off
switch leave the screen and scanning cannot be turned off — the same
managed shape the CAPTCHA screen has. The two policies stay editable,
because what to do with a file nobody could scan is a decision about
somebody's own files.
An infected file now goes somewhere rather than nowhere. Staff holding
the new release_quarantined_files permission get a Quarantine screen
listing what was refused, who uploaded it, and what the scanner called
it. They can delete it as they always could, or release it — which
needs a written reason, a password confirmation on top of the
permission, and lands in the activity log under their name.
Only the administrator role holds that permission by default. Deciding
a threat report is wrong is a different judgement from deciding a file
is no longer needed, which is why it is not delete_files.
Two notifications, two audiences: staff who can act on it, and the
person who uploaded it — for whom this is how they learn their own
machine has something on it. The people the file was shared with are
deliberately not told about a file they never received.
`projectsend:scan-files` runs hourly: it re-queues files still waiting,
and re-scans the ones that went out unscanned while the scanner was
unreachable, since it may be back. With --existing it also works
through a library uploaded before scanning was switched on, paced by a
setting so it does not starve today's uploads.
A file that was downloadable before it was caught says so on the
screen, with its download count, because that is the case where
somebody may already have a copy.
Every upload now starts as "being checked" and is not served to anyone
until a scanner has looked at it. Infected files are quarantined: kept
on disk, unreachable, waiting for an administrator.
The scanner is ClamAV, reached over a socket, streaming the file
wherever it is stored — no temporary copy for an S3 or GCS disk. What
the scanner answers is a fact; what it means for the file is this
installation's setting, so ClamAvScanner knows nothing about settings
and ScanPolicy knows nothing about sockets. Three of clamd's own alert
options are what make a file it could not open come back as an answer
rather than as "OK"; the client maps those to "too large" and
"encrypted" instead of to a threat.
Both policies default to letting files through, marked "not scanned",
which is the product owner's decision: a scanner that cannot answer must
not stop people working. Every such file is logged, and the screens that
say so come with the rest of this work.
Withholding is two rules. A file that is not available drops out of the
scopes that answer "what may this person see" — recipients and the
public listings, never the uploader's own copy. And every route that
puts bytes on the wire asks FileAvailability first: download, thumbnail,
preview, share link, the four public routes and both ends of a zip
build. A share link minted before the scan finishes says the file is
still being checked rather than 404ing.
Not yet here, and coming next: the quarantine screen and its permission,
the notifications, the settings screen, the hourly retry, the backfill
for existing libraries, and the Docker service.
The staff library grew filters for uploader, role, public/private, download
count and version. Two of those already existed on /api/v1/files
(`uploaded_by`, `public`); the other four did not, so an integration could
not ask what the screen asks.
Adds `role_id`, `downloads=none|any`, `version=current|outdated` and
`visibility=public|private`.
`visibility` rather than changing `public`, and that is the decision worth
explaining. `public` has always tested the file's own column, and callers
depend on that answer; changing what an existing filter means is breaking
for everyone already sending it, however much better the new meaning is. So
`public` is untouched and `visibility` is added beside it with the
application's own definition -- File::isEffectivelyPublic(), the flag or a
public folder anywhere above the file -- which is what the badge on a staff
row means. The guide says in a sentence which to reach for. Point the
visibility filter at the column instead and the test that separates them
fails, which is the whole point of having both.
That predicate now lives once, as File::scopeEffectivelyPublic(), beside the
isEffectivelyPublic() it has to agree with. It was a private helper on
FoldersController until a second surface wanted it.
`role_id` deliberately carries no identity guard, unlike `uploaded_by` beside
it. A role names nobody: the files in the result are ones the caller may
already read, and learning one came from somebody holding the Client role
narrows to a set they could have guessed. `uploaded_by` is different in kind
-- a non-empty answer confirms exactly the identity the response is
redacting -- which is why only it is guarded. The reasoning is in the code,
because an absent guard sitting next to a present one is the kind of thing a
reader should not have to re-derive.
Tests cover each filter, the public/visibility split, and the client-scoped
negative: every new filter still returns nothing outside the token's own
library, because a filter narrows a library and never widens one.
Search and the category dropdown were the whole filter bar, which is thin
for a library of any size. It now also narrows by:
- who uploaded the file, and separately by the role they hold
- public or private
- never downloaded, or downloaded at least once
- current version, or outdated
Each one forces the same flat, whole-library view search already used, and
they combine.
Two decisions worth naming.
"Public" means what the badge on the row means -- File::isEffectivelyPublic(),
the file's own flag or a public folder anywhere above it. Filtering on the
`public` column alone would have hidden files this very screen labels
Public, which is a filter arguing with the list it filters. The private half
needs its own null branch, because `folder_id NOT IN (...)` is never true for
a NULL folder_id: without it a file at the library root belonged to neither
half and vanished from both. Removing that branch turns the private filter
from one row to zero, which is the test.
The uploader filter carries the same guard /api/v1/files puts on
`uploaded_by`. fileRow() already withholds an uploader's name from a viewer
who may not identify them, so answering this filter plainly would have handed
the same identity straight back as a row count. An id the caller may not
identify now matches nothing, which is indistinguishable from someone who
uploaded nothing, and the dropdown is built through filterClientPairs so it
never offers the name either. Without the guard the scoped-staff test gets
its stranger's file back.
"Outdated" rather than "superseded" throughout, because that is the word the
version badge already uses and the two should not disagree. A file nothing
has replaced counts as current, including one never versioned at all.
The ids are cast out of the validated input: `integer` validates "5" without
converting it, and permitsClientId() takes a strict ?int.
Laravel's `date` rule accepts a JSON number when it reads as a real day
(20301231 passes) and hands it on unconverted. Every file expiry field
then passes it to a method that only takes a string, so the request
failed with a 500 instead of a validation error.
Affected: PATCH /api/v1/files/{file}, the staff file editor, the bulk
editor, new share links and the client file editor. Each now also
requires `string`, so a number is a 422 on `expires_at`. Dates sent as
text behave exactly as before. A form never sent a number, so this was
only reachable with a hand-written JSON body.
Filling the "Storage quota (MB)" field on the new-client form raised a
TypeError and the request died with a 500. Leaving it blank worked, which
is why it reached a release: that path goes through `null ?? 0`, and the
0 is an int.
The `integer` validation rule checks that a value looks like an integer.
It does not convert it. `$request->validate()` returns the raw input, so
the form field arrives as the string "2048" -- and the create form types
that field as a string in React, so it is a string even over JSON. Both
controllers declare strict_types, so handing it to
`ClientAccounts::create()`'s `int $storageQuotaMb` is a TypeError.
Fixed on both surfaces that call create(): the staff screen and
/api/v1/clients. The API twin had the same defect, reachable by sending
the quota as a quoted JSON value or a form-encoded body -- its own create
test only ever sent a JSON number.
Two more call sites had the same shape and are cast too, though nothing
sends them a string today: the share-link download cap and a comment's
reply_to. Both are safe only because a frontend file happens to call
Number() first, which is a fact about that file rather than anything the
signature guarantees. The null in each is preserved rather than collapsed
to 0 -- "no cap" is not a cap of zero.
`storage_quota_mb` is also cast on User and Invitation. The column is an
unsignedInteger and both docblocks already promise int; it is read
straight into provision()'s typed parameter when an invitation is
redeemed, and which type a driver hands back is not something that call
site should depend on.
Found on the new files-test rehearsal instance, on its first real use,
against the same build the whole fleet is running.
Reported by @skeletonsec as GHSA-rxf8-wh8v-jm9j.
A file in a public folder is public: isEffectivelyPublic() is "my own flag,
or my folder's", read up the whole ancestry. GHSA-237r-jx85-j3hr settled
that three days ago, put the rule in Folder::uploadableBy(), and wired it
into the upload paths.
Content arrives in a folder four other ways. move() drags one file in,
bulkUpdate() moves a selection, update() reparents through the edit form,
and FoldersController::move() drags a whole folder — every file in its
subtree — under a public parent. Each of them asked whether the destination
was *visible* to the mover and then wrote folder_id. Visible is not the same
question as publishable, and the difference is the entire permission: a
staff member given editing rights and deliberately not given upload_public
could publish confidential files to the anonymous site by choosing where
they landed. The API twin of update() had the same gap.
Both earlier advisories named these paths in their own "suggested fix"
sections. Neither demonstrated them, so neither was followed. The fix to a
report wants the scrutiny the report got, and this one did not get it.
The predicate did not need changing — it needed calling. Four sinks now ask
it, plus the API twin. The check stays split in two deliberately: the
destination is resolved through StaffLibraryScope as before, so a folder
somebody cannot see is still a 404 and not an existence oracle, and the
publication clause is a separate 403 on top. They agree by construction —
allowsFolder() is folders()->whereKey()->exists() — so nothing that used to
resolve can now fail the first half.
On the file paths the check fires only when folder_id actually changes,
which is the convention already there: re-saving a file that sits in a
folder out of the saver's scope must keep working. bulkUpdate() checks its
destination once instead, before the loop, because there is one destination
for the batch and if it publishes then no file in the batch may go.
Folder::uploadableBy()'s docblock now says to read the name as "may place
into", with why: the name is what made this easy to miss, and the next
folder_id or parent_id write will be written by somebody reading it.
Ten tests, one per sink with a private-destination control beside it, plus
an editor who *can* publish to show the boundary is about publishing and not
about moving. The last one follows the advisory's own chain to the end and
asserts the thing actually claimed — a stranger with no session, no token
and no assignment fetching the anonymous download URL. It returns 200 on the
code before this commit and 404 after.

Reported by @ry2811 as GHSA-6jh6-gvj5-pv8v.
A resumable upload declares its size, and that declaration is what store()
weighs against the maximum file size and the client's storage quota. Only
the assembled file was ever held to it. The parts in between were bounded
one request at a time and never added up, so a client could declare one
byte and then stream parts: ten thousand part numbers at twice a 20 MB
part is about 400 GB, per session, and the number of sessions was not
bounded either. None of it counted against anything, because nothing
becomes a File row until the upload completes and ClientStorageUsage sums
File rows. A client with a 1 MB quota could fill the volume and repeat.
putPart()'s own comment described this defect and treated the per-part cap
as the answer to it: "without a cap here the exposure is a day's worth of
disk". A cap on one request bounds one request. The exposure was a day's
worth of disk multiplied by however many requests somebody cared to make.
Three limits, and each one exists because the other two do not cover it.
A session may not stage more than it declared. The room for a part is
claimed before the body is read — a body's length is not known until it
has arrived, and by then it is on the disk being protected — and the write
is then capped at exactly what was claimed, so an over-long body is cut
off mid-stream as it always was, against a smaller number. The claim is a
read and a conditional update under a per-session lock, the same shape
complete() already uses: the protocol sends parts in parallel and how many
is the client's choice, so an unlocked read lets every part in flight
claim the same room, while an atomic claim alone refuses the honest
parallel upload instead. Whatever the part really weighs is settled back
afterwards, in a finally, or a client's own retries would exhaust a
session with room to spare.
Open sessions count against the quota at the size they declared. A quota
measured against finished files alone is spent twice by opening sessions
one after another — each is told there is room, because the ones before it
have not finished. The cost is that an abandoned transfer holds its share
until it is cancelled or swept, so the sweeper now runs hourly rather than
daily: that gap is now somebody unable to upload, which it was not before.
And a cap on open sessions, because for anyone with no quota to spend —
staff, and clients on an installation that sets none — the session count
is the only thing between a declared size and any multiple of it.
Four tests fail on the unfixed code, and three existing ones had to change:
they declared a tiny size and sent a large part deliberately, to reach the
re-checks at complete(). That route is now closed at putPart(), so they
reach those re-checks the way a real install would instead — the file-size
limit or the quota moving while a long transfer is running, which is the
reason complete() re-asks rather than trusting what store() decided.
The staged-byte total is BIGINT UNSIGNED, and the suite runs SQLite, which
has no unsigned integers. The first version of the bounds read
`staged_bytes + :delta BETWEEN 0 AND size` and raised SQLSTATE 22003 on
MySQL for any refund — in the comparison, so the bound written to prevent
the underflow was the statement that underflowed. Every SQLite test passed
on it. Both bounds are now arranged so the column is never inside a
subtraction, and UploadSessionStagedBytesMysqlTest skips loudly unless the
connection is MySQL. Verified against 8.4, as was the report itself: three
sessions declaring one byte each put 6 MB on the volume of a client with a
1 MB quota before, and nothing at all after.

"Did it arrive?" is the question somebody asks about a file they sent, and
on a hosted free account — where a link is the whole of the sharing — the
count is the only evidence either way. Every file a client uploaded now
shows how often it has gone out and when it last did, in every render mode
of every theme.
Only their own. A download entry says somebody fetched the file, so a
count on a file shared with several clients tells each of them about the
others' activity, and nobody is entitled to that but the person who put
the file there. A file shared *with* this client carries null, not zero:
a zero would itself be a claim, and the two have to be distinguishable
because zero is an answer the owner came looking for and is shown as
words.
Counted from the activity log through the same three actions
DownloadAllowance uses, so a file leaving by the public site counts as
much as one leaving by its link. One query for a listing, none at all for
a client with no files of their own. Both filters have a test that fails
when only that filter is removed.
Two things a render check caught that types and a green build did not.
`t()` does no plural selection — the catalogues are flat key/value — so a
"one|many" string reached the screen with its pipe intact; the strings are
whole sentences now, with the singular spelled out. And the gallery card
was already laying its text out beside the action icons in a 200px column,
truncating the filename to "Q…" and the size to "75 …" on main today;
stacking them gives every line its full width.
A client's portal lists two kinds of file side by side: what they
uploaded, and what somebody shared with them. Where a link exists on one
of their own, they can now copy it from the row — which is what makes the
hosted free plan a product rather than a place to put files, since a
customer there has no staff screen on which to make one.
The rule is narrow, and both halves are load-bearing: a link this client
created, on a file this client uploaded.
Not "a link on a file shared with them" — that link is the sharer's
decision about who may reach the file, and handing the recipient the URL
would quietly turn "you may download this" into "you may pass this on to
anyone".
And not "any link on their own file" either — a link staff minted on a
file a client uploaded exists for a reason the client may be no part of,
and on the shared instance it would sit beside the one link they were
promised. Ordering is by id, so an unfiltered lookup would hand them
whichever was minted first.
Both halves have a test that fails when only that half is removed. The
first draft did not: every case was carried by the ownership filter
alone, so the creator check was green for the wrong reason.
Links that no longer work are left out rather than shown greyed. The only
thing a client can do here is copy it, and a URL that answers "this link
has expired" is worse than no URL at all.
One query per listing, not one per row, and none at all for a client with
no files of their own.
Two pieces of groundwork, no behaviour change.
FileWasStored is dispatched from StoreUploadedFile, which every upload
path converges on — the chunked flow staff and clients share, and the
synchronous POST beside it. A listener therefore sees each upload once
without knowing which route produced it, which is the property that makes
it usable from outside this repository. A notification, not a filter:
nothing on it is mutable, and anything that needs to influence an upload
has to do so before the bytes land, which is what ResolvingUploadDisk is
already for.
CreateShareLink is the other half. Minting a link was a ShareLinksController
private concern, and the controller is an HTTP handler behind `staff`
middleware — so a link now needs making from outside a request as well.
Two copies of "make a token, write the row, log it" would drift, and the
half most likely to drift is the token, which is the entire authorization
for /s/{token}: there is no session behind it and no second factor, so
being unguessable is its only defence. Anything minted through the action
gets Str::random(32) — about 190 bits, more than a UUID's 122 — and never
a chosen value. The chosen-token path stays in the controller, where a
person is typing one into a form and its minimum length can be argued
about in a validation rule.
The permission questions stay in the controller too. Whether somebody may
set an expiry or a download cap is a fact about them, and the action has
no viewer to ask; it takes both already resolved, including the expiry,
because "the end of the 12th" depends on whose timezone you are in.
Five tests, including that the file a listener receives is complete and
readable rather than half-built, and that the staff form still refuses an
expiry to somebody without the permission after the extraction.
Found reviewing the client file editor rather than building it.
File::isEffectivelyPublic() is "my own flag OR my folder's", and
Folder::uploadableBy() admits a client to a public folder on
upload_to_public_folders — a different key from upload_public. So a client
can make a file world-readable without touching the public switch, and
without holding the key that switch is behind.
That is what those two keys have always meant and what uploading into such
a folder has always done, so this does not refuse it. What was new is
where the choice is made. The upload page is entered from a folder the
client has already navigated to, where the list shows a Globe badge on a
public folder. The editor's picker is a flat list of names, and it is the
first place a destination is chosen with none of that context — so the
consequence was invisible exactly where it mattered most.
Public folders now carry the badge in the picker, and choosing one says in
words that anyone will be able to open the file without signing in. Two
tests: that the side door genuinely publishes and is labelled, and that a
private folder is not labelled — a warning on everything is a warning on
nothing.
The rest of the review found no defect. Ownership, the per-field keys, the
staff-scope trap and mass assignment were already covered; a client
deleting a file that staff later revised was checked directly and moves
the chain's recipients onto the successor without widening them, which is
what it is supposed to do. The write path was driven in a real browser —
rename, publish and delete through the actual form and dialog — because a
green suite over a write that 419s in every browser is a mistake this
repository has made before. Bytes gone, audit trail complete, and
file.made_public records the slug.
The authorization landed last commit; this is the way in. A client with
edit_files now gets an Edit action on the files they uploaded, opening a
form with every field their role actually grants, and a Delete beside it.
One page for every theme, not one per theme. portal/edit-file.tsx picks
its shell from the `theme` prop exactly as portal/upload.tsx does, because
a form with eight fields behind five separate permissions, rebuilt four
times, is four places for a field to go quietly missing. What *is*
per-theme is only the entry point: one <FileRowActions /> in each theme's
row actions group, the file twin of the FolderRowActions that was already
there.
Row actions gate on can_update/can_delete, sent per file by
MyFilesController and answered by FilePolicy — never on is_mine, which is
half the question. Holding the file is one half and the role's keys are
the other, and a theme that reads is_mine offers an Edit button that
403s. Written into docs/theming-files-checklist.md so the next theme does
not have to rediscover it.
The folder picker offers only folders the client could have uploaded to,
so it cannot present a destination the save would refuse. Publishing says
in plain words that anyone with the link will be able to open the file
without signing in, and says so differently when the installation has no
public page configured, because there the switch would do nothing visible.
Hiding a control is a courtesy, never the enforcement. Every can_* prop
here is the same question ApplyFileEdits asks when the form posts, and the
tests assert both ends.
Verified in a real browser over CDP rather than only by types and tests,
which say nothing about whether a page mounts: 23 edit actions on the
client's 23 own files and none on the file shared with them, the editor
mounting with its real values, every gated field present, no console
errors. The dev instance's Client role was snapshotted before the run and
restored to exactly what it was.
Refs #1771
A client could upload a file and then never touch it again. No rename, no
description, no expiry, no categories, no delete — the portal has three
file routes and all three are GET. Meanwhile the Roles screen happily
grants the Client role edit_files, delete_files, set_file_categories,
set_file_expiration_date and upload_public, and every one of them was
inert, because the routes that honour them are `staff`-gated rather than
permission-gated. That is what #1771 hit: a permission granted, saved, and
silently doing nothing.
A client owns what they uploaded. Ownership is now what lets them edit and
delete it, subject to the same per-field keys staff are subject to.
The obvious implementation is a trap, and it is worth writing down. Both
policy methods began `if (! $user->isStaff()) return false;` and both end
in StaffLibraryScope, whose allowsFile() reads `if (! isClientScoped())
return true` — and isClientScoped() is `isStaff() && role->client_scoped`,
so it is false for every client. Delete the early return and a client
falls into the branch meaning "this staff member is unrestricted" and is
handed the whole library. Same for folders(), which returns an unfiltered
query: a client could move their file into any folder on the installation.
So clients get their own branch, reaching neither. The portal asks
Folder::uploadableBy() instead — a file cannot be moved somewhere it could
not have been uploaded.
edit_others_files and delete_others_files stay inert for clients by
construction. A client has no others' files, only files somebody showed
them, and being shown a file is not being given it.
Which fields an editor may write moved into ApplyFileEdits, shared by the
staff editor, /api/v1 and the portal. There were two copies of the same
eight permission checks and this would have been the third; the checks are
easy, which is exactly why the drift would have been invisible. Callers
normalise their own request shape, this gates and writes and logs. Expiry
reading and writing came along too, as FileExpiry — three copies, of which
only the API's could read a timestamp.
Clients do not choose the public slug. It is derived from the name they
already picked, because an installation-wide unique slug a client sets is
a name to squat and an existence oracle to probe with.
One consequence for later, written up in docs/api-todo.md: the policy now
says yes to a client for file writes, so `staff-token` is the only thing
holding the API boundary where there used to be two independent refusals.
ActorBoundaryTest pins it, and asserts the policy passes first so the test
cannot quietly stop testing the middleware.
Also corrects a stale comment that claimed a deleted file's bytes stay on
disk. They have not since File::booted() grew a `deleted` hook; nothing
ever forceDelete()s a File row, so "until a purge lands" would have meant
never — which is why a client's delete frees their quota by exactly what
it frees on disk.
The UI comes next; this is the authorization, the routes and the tests.
Fixes#1771
A staff member limited to their own assigned clients could read the names
and ids of clients on nobody's roster but their own, out of ordinary file
metadata.
The file boundary was never wrong. Sharing means a file can legitimately
reach a scoped viewer through client A while client B uploaded it, or
while B also receives it -- StaffLibraryScope::buildFiles is right to
permit that, and a B-only file is still a 403. What was wrong is that
every response then went on to name B. FileResource serialised the loaded
uploader and each assignment unfiltered; ShareTargets::assigned took no
viewer at all, so the details panel published the recipient list as it
stands and forSubject narrowed available_clients while handing
assigned_clients straight through. FoldersController::fileRow,
FilesController::edit, FileDetailsController and ClientFilesController
each named the uploader the same way. The API's uploaded_by filter asked
the question without any name attached: it answered "does this client of
yours put files in front of a client of mine" for any id a caller cared
to try.
12a8ebe3 said the rule out loud while fixing topClientsByStorage -- "the
file was theirs to read and the uploader's name was not theirs to see" --
and then the rule stayed in that widget. So it is a class now.
ClientIdentityScope is the one decision, asked by every surface that
names a client, and it deliberately answers about clients only: a
colleague's name is not a client identity, and hiding it would hide who
uploaded most of the library from the people who work in it. Groups go
through it too, on the same argument -- a group is a list of clients
wearing one name -- which the report did not cover but is the same leak.
Two judgement calls worth naming. assigned() keeps returning the whole
truth and gains a warning, because VisibleCommentScope resolves
notification recipients from it and a recipient filtered out of that list
is one who never hears about a message addressed to them; assignedFor()
is the display half. And FileResource asks at serialisation rather than
in its callers' eager loads, which is the opposite of how the version
counterparts next door are narrowed: that one is set-shaped and folds
into a query, this one is a per-row roster check across eight call sites
in four controllers, two of them re-loading assignments after a write.
The tests assert on whole response bodies rather than on named keys. The
leak was never in one field -- the same name arrived through the
uploader, through the recipient list and through four screens -- so a
body that does not contain the name anywhere is the only assertion that
would have caught all of it. Ten of the eighteen fail without this
change; the rest are the negative controls, including that an unscoped
administrator still sees every name and that the uploaded_by filter still
works for a client on the roster and for staff.
Reported by @Noorkhalel, GHSA-whmp-p9hv-r7j7. Their write-up named every
affected surface and the root cause in each, which is most of why this
took one pass.
Uploads live outside the web root, so PHP authorizes every download and
then hands the file to the web server with a header naming it. Four
routes decided that for themselves and all four hard-coded nginx's
spelling. On Apache or LiteSpeed nothing acts on the header, so the
empty body PHP sent goes to the visitor: files upload fine, thumbnails
are broken images, and downloads arrive as 0 bytes, with every other
page working. Reported as #1765 from an Apache 2.4 install, and before
that as #1266, #1215, #870 and #1271.
It is also a regression from v1, which had a download_method setting --
php, apache_xsendfile, litespeed, nginx_xaccel -- defaulting to php. v1
therefore worked on any server out of the box and v2 did not, and a v1
Apache user migrating lost every download with nothing to tell them why.
So the four sites now go through one FileDelivery, and it picks:
auto (default) nginx when SERVER_SOFTWARE says nginx, else php
nginx X-Accel-Redirect, a URL path via the internal location
xsendfile X-Sendfile, an absolute path (Apache mod_xsendfile,
LiteSpeed)
php BinaryFileResponse
Defaulting to auto rather than nginx is the point of the change: a
default that assumes nginx leaves an Apache install exactly as broken as
it is today until somebody reads INSTALL.md. Slow beats empty.
Auto never picks xsendfile, even where the module is loaded.
mod_xsendfile also needs XSendFilePath to allow the storage directory,
which cannot be seen from here, and choosing it on the strength of the
module being present would trade a silent failure an administrator can
diagnose from the dashboard for one nobody can.
BinaryFileResponse rather than a readfile loop because it answers Range
requests. nginx does that itself on the fast path, so hand-rolling it
would have broken seeking through a video on exactly the installations
this fallback exists for. Verified end to end: 206 with the right
Content-Range through the live stack.
Two guards. Every method checks the path cannot climb out of the storage
area -- nginx resolves `..` in the URL it is handed as happily as PHP
would -- and the two methods that hand over a filesystem path resolve it
and prove it lands inside the root. Callers pass paths from rows they
just authorized, so this is a backstop; it is here because the cost of
being wrong once is handing over any file the web server can read.
The dashboard's System panel names the method, with a warning icon and a
dialog when PHP is doing the sending: what is happening, what it costs
(one worker held for the whole of each download, so a few large
simultaneous ones can occupy every worker while the processor sits
idle), why it is set that way, and the three ways out. Written to be
accurate rather than reassuring -- nothing is broken, it does not scale
-- and the notice stays even when php was chosen deliberately, because
the trade-off is the same either way. /system/settings/downloads repeats
it, which is where somebody coming from v1 goes looking for the
dropdown.
An environment variable rather than a stored setting: it describes the
server this installation runs on, not a preference, and a value in the
database travels to a different server in a restore and is wrong there.
Read only in config/projectsend.php, so config:cache cannot blank it.
The suite pins itself to nginx. Left at auto it would detect no server
at all, fall back to php, and quietly retire the coverage of the
mechanism most installations actually use.
Two different things stop a selected file being changed in a bulk edit, and bulkUpdate() reported both as the first one. Files dropped by the Gate::allows('update') filter are ones this staff member may not edit at all. A file that survives the filter and still changes nothing is a different case: it was editable, and every field they asked to change is one their role does not let them set -- expiry, download limit and categories each sit behind their own permission here, exactly as they do in the single-file editor. So a staff member with edit_files but without set_file_expiration_date, editing three files they own, was told "0 of 3 selected files were updated. The rest were skipped because you don't have permission to edit them." They own all three, and editing is precisely what they may do: the sentence was both wrong and unactionable, since nothing in it points at the permission that actually stopped the edit.
The two cases get their own sentences now. Every skip being a file they may not edit keeps the existing string, unchanged, so its sixteen translations stay in use. Anything else gets a new one, "because you don't have permission to make those changes", which is also true when both reasons are in play, so a mixed selection is described correctly rather than approximately. Which files get changed is untouched, as is the silent-skip convention and the 422 when nothing at all is authorised.
Verified before merging: 14 passed on the trial-merge, 2 failed / 12 passed with app/ reset -- the field-permission case and the mixture. The pure edit-permission case is green either way, which is what says the existing message was not disturbed. FilesController overlaps #1728, already merged, and its expiryDateFor work is intact in the merged tree.
The new string arrived English-only; the sixteen catalogs are filled in the commit that follows.
Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
File::isExpired() documented the rule the whole application is supposed to follow: once past, the file is hidden from clients and the public site but staff keep full access. The second half is not true of a client-scoped staff member. StaffLibraryScope::buildFiles() builds their library as own uploads plus what each assigned client may see, and that second half runs through File::scopeVisibleToClient, which ends in notExpired() -- a client-side rule. So an expired file they held only through a client leaves their library and answers 403 on download, while their own expired upload stays and an unscoped administrator is unaffected. Api\FilesController stated it the same way, "Only the client branch of the visibility rules drops them", which reads as though a staff caller is unaffected when a client-scoped one is reached through that very branch.
This does not change that behaviour. c8078f65 weighed widening it and decided against, because scopeVisibleToClient is the single source of truth for client file access and the highest-stakes function to go changing for a dashboard widget, and relabelled the widget instead. That decision lived in a commit message and one widget's label; nothing in the code said it, and the docblock nearest the rule went on promising the opposite -- which is how the next person re-derives "staff keep full access" and widens the scope to match.
Documentation and characterisation only. isExpired() now states the boundary and why it is where it is, the API comment is corrected, and ExpiredFileStaffAccessTest pins all three cases.
Verified before merging: 3 passed on the trial-merge. The counter-check has to be inverted for a characterisation test -- these pass on unmodified main by construction, so the question is whether they fail when the boundary moves. Deleting the closing notExpired() from scopeVisibleToClient gives 1 failed / 2 passed, and it is the third case, the one carrying the decision, that falls. File.php overlaps #1726 and Api/FilesController.php overlaps #1727, both already merged, and both are intact in the merged tree. scramble:export reproduces the spec unchanged.
Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
ClientStorageUsage::quotaMb() exists because a client's own storage_quota_mb of 0 does not mean "unlimited" -- it means "no quota of their own", and the site default is what is then enforced. Both chunked-upload quota checks enforced the resolved limit through quotaBytes() and then printed the raw column in the rejection, so a client with no quota of their own and a site default of 1 MB was told "This upload would exceed your storage quota of 0 MB." That is every client who was never given a quota, including every self-registered one, and the sentence appears at the one moment somebody is trying to find out what their limit is.
Both now print quotaMb(), which is what the check enforced. The API's single-request upload already did exactly this for the same sentence, so the three copies agree. The enforcement itself is untouched -- only the number in the message changes -- and the unlimited case never reaches these branches, because quotaBytes() > 0 guards them.
Verified before merging: 16 passed on the trial-merge, 2 failed / 14 passed with app/ reset. The "a client with a quota of their own still sees their own number" test is green either way. The string itself is unchanged, so no locale file needs anything.
Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
FileThumbnailController::preview() writes at most one FilePreviewed row per viewer per file per five minutes, because watching a video is a single deliberate act that the browser turns into dozens of Range requests. Its docblock ended by naming the route where the same act happens without an account -- PublicGroupsController::preview -- and that route logged unconditionally. Five requests for the same public file wrote five rows where the signed-in twin wrote one, so one visitor watching one clip buried the public half of the activity log, which is the half an operator reads to see what the outside world is doing.
The window moves into a shared PreviewLog, next to PreviewKind, which those two routes already share for the same reason. Keying is unchanged for a signed-in viewer. An anonymous visitor has no account to key on, so the request IP stands in -- the same substitute ApiServiceProvider's rate limiter makes for an unauthenticated caller. It is a cache key with a five-minute life and never reaches the log, which keeps its own decision about recording an IP.
Downloads are deliberately untouched and stay one row per download: each is a transfer, and DownloadAllowance::used() counts those rows to enforce a per-file cap, so swallowing one would hand out free downloads.
The limit this leaves open, since the IP is a stand-in and not an identity: two anonymous visitors behind one address share a key, so within five minutes the second one's view of the same file is not recorded. That is the same trade the signed-in side has always made per account, and the alternative is the row-per-Range-request this fixes.
Verified before merging: 24 passed across the public-preview and thumbnail suites on the trial-merge, which also confirms this co-exists with #1725 -- the two share both controllers and change different methods in each. With app/ reset and PreviewLog deleted, 1 failed / 9 passed. The signed-in route's existing debounce tests pass unchanged, which is what says the shared class did not move that side. request()->ip() honours the trusted-proxy configuration, so a forged X-Forwarded-For cannot defeat the window from outside.
Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
The edit screen is given a file's expiry as a calendar date read back in the viewer's own zone -- deliberately, or "a file set to expire on the 12th reopens showing the 11th". Every save posts that date back, touched or not, and update() derived a fresh instant from it every time. So the expiry drifted by the difference between two people's zones on any other edit: a file set from Pacific/Auckland moved 19 hours later the moment somebody in Buenos Aires renamed it, and moved again on the next save from a third zone. A file could quietly outlive the expiry somebody set for it, through an edit that had nothing to do with expiry.
The instant is now re-derived only when the posted date differs from the one the form was given, compared against the same string through a named pair: expiryDateFor() renders it, expiryInstant() reads it back, and the edit screen calls the render half so the two cannot drift apart. What a changed date means is unchanged -- still the end of that day in the zone of whoever changed it. bulkUpdate() needs nothing: its expiry is an explicit set / clear / no_change action, so an untouched expiry is never posted at all.
Verified before merging: 22 passed on the trial-merge, 1 failed / 21 passed with app/ reset. The "a real change still lands in the editor's zone" and "clearing still clears" tests are green either way. Edge cases walked: a posted date against no stored expiry still sets it, and a posted null against a stored null leaves the column alone rather than writing.
Reported and fixed by @denkfabrik-li.
FilesController::expiryInstant() exists because a calendar day ends where the person naming it lives: the web form posts a bare YYYY-MM-DD, which Eloquent would otherwise store as midnight UTC, so "expires on the 12th" would cut the file off partway through the 11th for anyone in the Americas. PATCH /api/v1/files/{id} took the same field, validated it as a date, and stored it exactly as it arrived -- so the same value that meant end-of-the-12th on the web meant start-of-the-12th over the API, and earlier still for a caller west of Greenwich.
A bare YYYY-MM-DD now means the end of that day in the caller's timezone, through the same LocalDay::end() the web path uses. A value carrying a time is unchanged: that is an instant the caller named on purpose, the API can express one where a date input cannot, and it is stored as it arrives. null still clears the expiry, and the validation rule and permission gate are untouched.
Note for the release notes: this lengthens the life of a file whose expiry an existing integration sets with a bare date, by up to a day. That is the correct meaning and the one the web has always had, but it is a behaviour change for callers who were relying on the old one.
Verified before merging: 19 passed on the trial-merge, 1 failed / 18 passed with app/ reset. The timestamp and clearing tests are green either way. The bare-date branch is gated on a strict ^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$ match, so nothing else takes it. scramble:export on the merged tree reproduces the committed docs/api/openapi.json byte for byte.

File::isExpired() documents the rule the application is supposed to
follow: once past, the file is hidden from clients and the public site
"but staff keep full access to view, download, and manage it".
The second half is not true of a client-scoped staff member.
StaffLibraryScope::buildFiles() builds their library as their own uploads
union what each assigned client may see, and that second half runs
through File::scopeVisibleToClient, which ends in notExpired() -- a
client-side rule. Measured on main, with a rep holding one client and a
file the administrator uploaded and shared with that client:
before expiry in_library true GET .../download -> 200
after expiry in_library false GET .../download -> 403
the rep's own expired upload in_library true
an unscoped administrator, same expired file in_library true
Api\FilesController says it the same way -- "Only the client branch of
the visibility rules drops them" -- which reads as though a staff caller
is unaffected, when a client-scoped one is reached through that very
branch.
This does not change that behaviour. c8078f65 weighed exactly this and
decided against it: widening it would mean a library query that keeps
expired rows, and scopeVisibleToClient is the single source of truth for
client file access, the highest-stakes function to go changing for a
dashboard widget. The widget was relabelled instead.
That decision lives in a commit message and in one widget's label.
Nothing in the code said it, and the docblock nearest the rule went on
promising the opposite -- which is how the next person re-derives "staff
keep full access" and widens something.
So both comments now state the boundary and why it is where it is, and
ExpiredFileStaffAccessTest makes it executable: an unscoped staff member
keeps an expired file, a client-scoped one keeps their own expired
upload, a client-scoped one loses a client's file when it expires.
Not changed: scopeVisibleToClient, StaffLibraryScope, and the
expired-files widget. If the boundary should move, that is a separate
conversation and a separate change.
Counter-check inverted, since these pass on unmodified main by
construction -- there is no behaviour fix for them to prove. What they
have to do is fail if the boundary moves, so the mutation is the widening
itself. Deleting the closing notExpired() call from scopeVisibleToClient
turns the file red, 1 failed / 2 passed, and it is the third case, the
one carrying the decision, that falls.
Suite 2108 passed / 2 skipped, 11416 assertions, PHPStan level 8 clean.
Measured on base 06c364d2, where main itself is 2105 / 2.
Both thumbnail routes treat "the file exists" as "the rendition is
cached", and nothing ever invalidates one: RenderedImageCache::flush()
runs on ImageRenderingChanged, which no core code raises. Whatever is at
the path is what every later viewer gets.
ThumbnailGenerator encoded straight onto that path. A render that died
partway -- a full volume, a killed worker -- left a half-written file
that was then served as the rendition for good, and two requests
rendering the same file at once encoded into one path together.
It now writes beside the destination and renames into place. rename()
within a directory is atomic and replaces what is there, so the path is
either the previous rendition or a complete new one, and the loser of a
race leaves a whole image rather than a mixture of two. The temporary
file is removed on the way out either way.
The read side gets the other half: an empty file is not a rendition, so
both routes replace one rather than serve it. Writing through a temporary
file means this state can no longer be created here, but an installation
that ran an older version can already have it on disk, and nothing else
will ever clear it.
Three tests: an empty rendition is replaced on the signed-in route and on
the public one, and a successful render leaves nothing half-written
behind. Without the fix the first two go red; the third is about the fix's
own temporary file and passes either way.
The edit form is given a file's expiry as a calendar date, read back in
the viewer's own zone -- deliberately, so a file set to expire on the 12th
does not reopen showing the 11th. Every save posts that date back, whether
or not anybody touched it, and update() derived a fresh instant from it
every time.
So the expiry drifts by the difference between two people's zones on any
other edit. A date set from Pacific/Auckland stores 2026-09-12T11:59:59Z;
a colleague in UTC-3 opens the file, sees the same 12th, renames it, and
the file now expires at 2026-09-13T06:59:59Z -- 19 hours later, with
nobody having gone near the date.
The instant is now re-derived only when the posted date differs from the
one the form was given, compared against the same string through a named
pair: expiryDateFor() renders it, expiryInstant() reads it back. The edit
screen uses the same method it is compared against, so the two cannot
drift apart.
bulkUpdate() needs nothing: its expiry is an explicit set/clear/no_change
action, so an untouched expiry is never posted in the first place.
Three tests: the rename leaves the instant alone, a real change still
lands in the editor's own zone, and clearing still clears. Without the fix
the first goes red.
FilesController::expiryInstant exists because a calendar day ends where
the person naming it lives: the web form posts a bare YYYY-MM-DD, and
storing that as it arrives would cut a file off at midnight UTC -- "expires
on the 12th" ending partway through the 11th for anyone in the Americas.
The API takes the same field, validates it as a date, and stores it raw:
web → 2026-09-12T23:59:59+00:00 (end of the day, as the docblock means)
API → 2026-09-12T00:00:00+00:00 (raw)
Same value, same field, same file, two meanings -- and the earlier of the
two is a file that dies at the start of the day it was promised.
A bare date now means the end of that day in the caller's timezone, as it
does on the web. A value carrying a time is unchanged: it is an instant
the caller named on purpose, the API can express one and a date input
cannot. The endpoint's docblock says both, so the OpenAPI document does
too.
Three tests: the day, the timestamp, and clearing. Without the fix the
first goes red.
FileThumbnailController::preview() writes at most one FilePreviewed row
per viewer per file per five minutes, because a browser turns one video
into a long tail of Range requests against the same URL. Its docblock
names the anonymous route as the place the same act happens without an
account -- and that route logs unconditionally.
Measured: five requests for the same public file, five
PublicFilePreviewed rows, against one for the signed-in twin. One visitor
watching one clip buries the public half of the activity log, which is
also the half an operator reads to see what the outside world is doing.
The window is now a shared PreviewLog, next to PreviewKind, which the two
preview routes already share for the same reason. Keying is unchanged for
a signed-in viewer; an anonymous one has no account to key on, so the
request IP stands in -- the same substitute the API's rate limiter makes
for an unauthenticated caller. It is a cache key with a five-minute life
and never reaches the log, which keeps its own decision about recording an
IP (ActivityLogger::shouldRecordIp, Setting::DownloadIpLogging).
Three tests: the replay is one row, two visitors are two rows, and the
window is per file. Without the fix the first goes red.
Two different things stop a selected file being changed, and bulkUpdate()
reported both as the first one.
Files dropped by the Gate::allows('update') filter are ones the staff
member may not edit at all. A file that survives the filter and still
changes nothing is a different case: it was editable, and every field they
asked to change was one their role does not let them set -- expiry,
download limit, categories, each behind its own permission, exactly as the
single-file editor treats them.
Measured with edit_files but without set_file_expiration_date, three files
they own, expiry the only change: "0 of 3 selected files were updated. The
rest were skipped because you don't have permission to edit them." They
own all three and editing is precisely what they may do, so the sentence is
both wrong and unactionable.
The two cases now have their own sentences. The existing string is kept
for the case it describes -- every skip a file they may not edit -- so its
sixteen translations stay in use. The new one covers a field permission,
and covers a mixture of both reasons, since "permission to make those
changes" is true either way.
The new key is English only; a locale without it falls back to English,
which is a translated-but-wrong sentence traded for an untranslated
correct one.
Three tests: each reason on its own, and the mixture. Without the fix the
first and third go red.
Both chunked-upload quota checks resolve the limit through
ClientStorageUsage::quotaBytes(), which falls back to the site default
when a client has no quota of their own -- and then print
`$user->storage_quota_mb` in the rejection. For every client who was never
given an explicit quota that column is 0, so the message reads "This
upload would exceed your storage quota of 0 MB." at the one moment
somebody is trying to find out what their limit is.
The API's single-request upload already prints
`$this->storageUsage->quotaMb($user)` for the same sentence
(Api/FilesController.php:208). The two chunked copies now do the same.
Three tests: the inherited default is named at session creation and again
at completion, and a client with a quota of their own still sees their own
number. Without the fix the first two go red, the third stays green.
FoldersController::destroy() authorizes `delete` on the folder and nothing
else. FolderService::delete() then soft-deletes every file in the subtree,
and File::booted()'s `deleted` hook takes the bytes off disk. There is no
restore.
FilePolicy::delete asks two questions the folder route never reaches:
`delete_others_files` for somebody else's upload, and
StaffLibraryScope::allowsFile on top of it. Measured with a role holding
create_own_folders, delete_files, upload and edit_files -- the shape the
Client Manager system role already has, minus delete_others_files:
DELETE /files/{someone-elses} 403, the file is still there
DELETE /folders/{their-folder} 302, the file and its bytes are gone
MyFoldersController::destroy already refuses the client half of this exact
cascade, and says why: "Owning the folder is not authority over content
someone else put in it... Refuse rather than silently destroy them." This
is the staff half of the same sentence.
Counted rather than asked per file. A folder can hold thousands, Gate
resolves a fresh policy for every check, and a per-row policy check on a
listing is the cost 0a8b609e went to some trouble to remove. Both halves
of FilePolicy::delete are expressible in SQL: the permission half is
constant for the viewer, and the library half is the query
StaffLibraryScope already memoises per request. Somebody holding both
delete permissions with no library scope short-circuits before the query
runs at all, so the common case pays nothing.
Not changed, deliberately:
- The service. FolderService::delete stays dumb. Its other caller applies
the client rule ("files you did not upload"), which is a different
predicate, and putting both in one place is the drift this codebase
keeps refactoring away from.
- The client half. MyFoldersController is already correct.
- Nothing partial. A blocked folder is left whole rather than emptied of
what the actor may delete -- half a tree is worse than either answer.
Worth saying plainly: this is a behaviour change. A folder delete that
used to succeed now refuses, and somebody will notice. The alternative is
irreversible loss of files the same person is refused one route over.
Six tests. Four measured red against the unguarded controller (4 failed /
2 passed), one per half of the predicate: the permission half, its
message, a nested file, and the library half -- that last one with both
delete permissions held, so only StaffLibraryScope can refuse. The two
that stay green either way are the other side of the question -- that a
folder holding only your own files still goes, and that an administrator
holding both permissions is unaffected. They guard against the fix
over-refusing, not against the bug.
Full suite passes (2054 passed / 2 skipped), PHPStan level 8 clean.
The new string is English only, per CONTRIBUTING.md -- translations are
their own pass.
Finalise each chunked upload once, under a per-session lock
Resolved a trivial conflict in ChunkedUploadsTest: this branch and
d7e639b both append tests to the end of the file, so both are kept.
