Hi,
For 7.2, we are introducing a new right to control permissions on the
execution of scripts.
Right now, out of all the scripts we support, Velocity is special and
does
not require programming rights, since it uses
only the public API. Of
course, if it has PR available, it can also access privileged API. All
other scripts (groovy, python, etc) require PR by default.
The new 'script' right should be used to control "light"/sandboxed
scripting, such as velocity or any other scripts that are configured to
consider this new right when executing (assuming they override the
standard
PR check).
We actually do have another one already, a custom version of Groovy
JSR223 engine done by Vincent.
All that to say that you should probably also update
org.xwiki.rendering.internal.macro.groovy.GroovyMacroPermissionPolicy
in xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-groovy module.
I have noticed it, but did not touch it since I see it has a custom way of
restricting execution (it sets a 'secure' flag in the groovy configuration
that tells it to consider if the macro transformation context is restricted
or not and, if not restricted, it does not need PR, but delegates to a
Groovy dedicated security customizer) and if that is not used/configured,
it falls back to programming rights.
Do you think we need to or should do more than that for Groovy? If not
custom security customizer is set, then PR decide if a groovy script runs
or not (which is often the case). And if so, what do you propose?
I know how it's working and the goal of this customisation is allow
using Groovy without PR in which case it should require Script right
exactly like Velocity does. It would not make much sense to not be
allowed to do Velocity when you can do Groovy.
Thanks,
Eduard
Since the build is not in top shape due to the nested spaces changes, I
have currently committed my work on this in a branch, created a PR and
would like to profit from this occasion to ask the devs that are more
familiar with the rights system for some feedback on it.
The Jira issue is
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12171
The PR is
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/410
Looks good (all I could do is a minor comment on a comment :) ).
Thanks,
Eduard
