Security issue disclosure

Joe Thorpe from Secarma disclosed an XSS issue that was inadvertently fixed in 2.5.0 by another bug fix. Tracks previously rendered XSS content in the user's own data. The content is only shown to the user themself, which mitigates the vulnerability in the normal use case where a single user account is only used by one person. The CVSS rating for self-XSS is debatable and thus is not published for this issue.

I want to thank Joe for reporting the issue and for the insightful discussion regarding the issue. Thanks to the disclosure there is now also a written security policy for the project.

Bug fixes

• Editing a due date in the calendar view fixed
• Adding actions in the context view fixed
• Fixed the recurring todo UI

See doc/upgrading.md for the upgrade documentation!

New features

• Updated documentation both in the doc directory and online.
• .skip-docker file has been replaced with .use-docker, see upgrading.md for details.
• Added email, last login, creation and update time to the user model.
• Added terms of service and email fields to the signup form. The TOS link is defined in site.yml, see config/site.yml.tmpl.
• New, lighter default color scheme. The black color scheme is also available for selection in the user preferences. Default theme can be set in site.yml.
• Added a help page to the ? menu linking to online help assets.
• Allow the user to remove their own account.

Removed features

• Ruby versions below 2.5 are no longer supported.
• Old Internet Explorer versions (7 and 8) are no longer supported.

Bug fixes

• Fixed the signup form to use login form styles.
• Lots of dependencies have been upgraded, including Rails major upgrade.
• Fixed some minor UI bugs.

Plenty of security fixes.

A small update to the new todo creation sidebar to make use of bootstrap's styles to provide more space for the UI.

This is a quick release to fix an issue in the migration to the new release. There are no changes affecting a fresh install compared to version 2.4.0.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in the tag migration that prevented the migration from completing at least in some MySQL environments. The bug only affected upgrading an existing Tracks installation.

PLEASE NOTE: Upgrading to 2.4.0 from earlier versions might fail at least with a MySQL database because of a broken migration. We suggest using 2.4.0 only for new installs for now.

New features

• Removed support for deprecated password-hashing algorithm. This eliminates config.salt. Note the addition of a pre-upgrade step to check for obsolete passwords.
• All tags now belong to a user. Existing tags are migrated to users based on the taggings and duplicated as necessary. If there's only one user, all unused tags are assigned to them, otherwise unused tags are removed.
• All REST APIs now also accept user token as password.
• The stats view now uses Charts.js instead of the Flash-based chart library.
• A Docker environment is used unless the .skip-docker file exists.
• Rails 5.2
• Thin replaces WEBrick as the included web server
• Tracks is tested on Ruby 2.4 and 2.5
• The MessageGateway will save the received email as an attachement to the todo
• Add a configuration option for serving static assets from Rails

Removed features

• Ruby versions below 2.4 are no longer supported.

Bug fixes

• Multiple fixes to REST APIs.
• Several UI bugs fixed.
