Description

Hi,

Encountered unexpected behavior yesterday when i accidentally added a Git archive cloned from another site (buildroot in this case) which contained a lot of commit-messages like

"Closes #1123" 

This ended up in a lot of actions like:

Comment Edit

Applied in changeset alleatoautomationplatform:buildroot|commit:4f0361ab2ca4f25207c84b557e31319c9a417a76.

This was not only in the project the Repository is in but sitewide.

The user Anonymous have no permissions set.

This differs in two ways from my expected behavior:

1) The anonymous user should not be able to close issues.
2) A repo commit should only be able to modify issues in the same project as the repo.

This is an old installation that have gone through several upgrades. Unfortunately I don't have time to reproduce it in a clean environment but I thought it might be best reporting it anyway since it is security related.

I disagree with this one, Anonymous here is not the Redmine anonymous user but a developer which has commit access to the repository and which SCM identifier is not mapped to an actual Redmine user, this is far from being a lambda person but a member of the project.

This should not be touched IMHO.

I understand but it might lead to security breaches. You say that the person is being member of the project, but really it is member of any project. So if a committer by accident or on purpose mistypes the issue-id or enters one belonging to an external ticket system he or she might change things in a project where he or she might not have access. The person who made the mistake will not then be alerted at all and have no way to correct the problem.

My solution is to add three configuratoin options to the repos.

[] Allow altering of tickets through commit messages
[] Allow system wide altering of tickets through commit messages
[] Allow Non-mapped users in the repo to alter tickets through commit messages

We track external repos in some projects and this led to some confusion (to say the least) ...

The root problem should be fixed by r4823 which disables issue updates when importing old commits. The requested option "Allow system wide altering of tickets through commit messages" is also already available as "Allow issues of all the other projects to be referenced and fixed".

FTR: it should read issue #4823 (and r12199).
