Unifies the two previously independent email subsystems — MailService
(net/smtp transport) and NotificationService (HTTP-based providers) —
so email can participate in the notification dispatch pipeline.
Key changes:
- SendEmail signature updated to accept context.Context and []string
recipients to enable timeout propagation and multi-recipient dispatch
- NotificationService.dispatchEmail() wires MailService as a first-class
provider type with IsConfigured() guard and 30s context timeout
- 'email' added to isSupportedNotificationProviderType() and
supportsJSONTemplates() returns false for email (plain/HTML only)
- settings_handler.go test-email endpoint updated to new SendEmail API
- Frontend: 'email' added to provider type union in notifications.ts,
Notifications.tsx shows recipient field and hides URL/token fields for
email providers
- All existing tests updated to match new SendEmail signature
- New tests added covering dispatchEmail paths, IsConfigured guards,
recipient validation, and context timeout behaviour
Also fixes confirmed false-positive CodeQL go/email-injection alerts:
- smtp.SendMail, sendSSL w.Write, and sendSTARTTLS w.Write sites now
carry inline codeql[go/email-injection] annotations as required by the
CodeQL same-line suppression spec; preceding-line annotations silently
no-op in current CodeQL versions
- auth_handler.go c.SetCookie annotated for intentional Secure=false on
local non-HTTPS loopback (go/cookie-secure-not-set warning only)
Closes part of #800
- Added a new documentation file outlining the manual test plan to validate the SMTP mock server flakiness fix, ensuring improved mail test reliability without affecting production behavior.
- Updated the current specification document to reflect the focus on stabilizing flaky SMTP STARTTLS+AUTH unit tests, including detailed research findings and requirements for the implementation.
- Created a QA/Security validation report for the SMTP flaky test fix, confirming that changes are test-only, stable under repeated runs, and do not introduce new security risks.
- Refactored notification provider tests to use Discord webhook URLs.
- Updated frontend forms and API interactions to restrict provider type to Discord.
- Modified translations to reflect the change in supported provider types.
- Enhanced UI to indicate deprecated status for non-Discord providers.
- Adjusted documentation to align with the new provider structure.
- Implemented `useManualChallenge`, `useChallengePoll`, and `useManualChallengeMutations` hooks for managing manual DNS challenges.
- Created tests for the `useManualChallenge` hooks to ensure correct fetching and mutation behavior.
- Added `ManualDNSChallenge` component for displaying challenge details and actions.
- Developed end-to-end tests for the Manual DNS Provider feature, covering provider selection, challenge UI, and accessibility compliance.
- Included error handling tests for verification failures and network errors.
- Created `qa-test-output-after-fix.txt` and `qa-test-output.txt` to log results of certificate page authentication tests.
- Added `build.sh` for deterministic backend builds in CI, utilizing `go list` for efficiency.
- Introduced `codeql_scan.sh` for CodeQL database creation and analysis for Go and JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Implemented `dockerfile_check.sh` to validate Dockerfiles for base image and package manager mismatches.
- Added `sourcery_precommit_wrapper.sh` to facilitate Sourcery CLI usage in pre-commit hooks.
- Added a test case in CrowdSecConfig to show improved error message when preset is not cached.
- Introduced a new test suite for the Dashboard component, verifying counts and health status.
- Updated SMTPSettings tests to utilize a shared render function and added tests for backend validation errors.
- Modified Security.audit tests to improve input handling and removed redundant export failure test.
- Refactored Security tests to remove export functionality and ensure correct rendering of components.
- Enhanced UsersPage tests with new scenarios for updating user permissions and manual invite link flow.
- Created a new utility for rendering components with a QueryClient and MemoryRouter for better test isolation.
- Updated go-test-coverage script to improve error handling and coverage reporting.
CodeQL flagged critical vulnerabilities in mail_service.go where
untrusted input could be used to inject additional email headers
via CRLF sequences.
Changes:
- Add sanitizeEmailHeader() to strip CR, LF, and control characters
- Sanitize all header values (from, to, subject) in buildEmail()
- Add validateEmailAddress() using net/mail.ParseAddress
- Add comprehensive security tests for header injection prevention
This addresses the 3 critical CodeQL alerts:
- Line 199: buildEmail header construction
- Line 260: sendSSL message usage
- Line 307: sendSTARTTLS message usage
Security: CWE-93 (Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences)
- Added a new SMTP settings page with functionality to configure SMTP settings, test connections, and send test emails.
- Implemented user management page to list users, invite new users, and manage user permissions.
- Created modals for inviting users and editing user permissions.
- Added tests for the new SMTP settings and user management functionalities.
- Updated navigation to include links to the new SMTP settings and user management pages.
