There was no checking of attributedTo, actors and referent object IDs to make
sure they exist in the same domain. Therefore, one could spoof messages from
people by doing attributedTo: whoever-i-want-to-spoof
Avoid the use of deprecated MariaDB "zero dates" globally. If they're present
as attribute defaults somewhere, they will be replaced with NULL implicitly.
The existing "zero dates" in MariaDB storage will be left intact and this
should not present any issues.
The "timestamp" type in table definitions now corresponds to DATETIME in
MariaDB with "DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP", which
should be close enough to the original behaviour for compatibility purposes.
It is now the recommended type for "modified" attributes, because of the
update trigger on MariaDB. But there is no such trigger implemented on
PostgreSQL as of this moment.
Make common_sql_weight employ standard SQL functions for the timestamp
difference in seconds.
Also replace UTC_TIMESTAMP in the MariaDB-specific part with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
as it is the only occurence and GNU social sets UTC as a default timezone.
In a delete_orphan_files.php script simplify the main query considerably.
In clean_profiles.php stop using COUNT as if it is ANY, that is unnecessary
punishment for the database. Instead implement the anti-join with a
left outer join.
In Autocomplete and Activitypub_profile use joins instead of a WHERE OR
anti-pattern for the semi-joins.
In lib/ui/galleryaction.php replace a CROSS JOIN with an INNER JOIN.
In actions/sup.php remove a redundant subquery: WHERE is applied before
grouping either way.
Activitypub_profile:
- Update do_insert to trigger TFN's assistance in inserting the profile
explorer:
- Use the new LRDD's method for grabbing profile aliases
Remove redundant setting retrival code.
An example config.php entry to activate the new config:
$config['site']['sensitivecontent']['hideforvisitors'] = true;
This should fix nulls on explorer lookups inputed by postman after generate_followers/getSubscribers, that I think were caused by calling common_profile_uri that, curiously, only handles local profiles
Use $object->sqlValue('NULL') (identical to DataObject_Cast'ing) instead and
fix related issues like (email|sms)settings considering these NULLs as a
false positive for the E-Mail address still being set when it's been removed.
There could also be security implications to the now-disabled approach of
considering 'NULL' strings as SQL NULLs.
