https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/KTLO-58/dont-send-ghost-acess-cookies-if-no-member-is-logged-in
- Currently when member's caching is enabled, but no member is logged
in, we always send `ghost-access=null;` and `ghost-access-hmac=null;`
cookies in the requests to `/members/api/member/`. This is done to clear
the cookies, but an unintended consequence is that these requests can
never be cached since there is a cookie in the response.
- This PR removes the cookies from the requests when no member is logged
in, the cookies will not be sent, allowing the requests to be cached
- It also unsets the cookies when deleting a member's session, so that
the cookies are not sent in the requests after the member logs out
- This should improve the cache hit ratio with members caching enabled

- When the GET /api/session endpoint is called, the session is deleted
if it is invalid
- We don't have a body parser for this GET endoint, and the request
object was passed to the deleteSession handler. This caused a type error
(cannot read properties of undefined)
- We had dangling promise because deleteSession is async and wasn't
awaited, causing random errors in tests
- Added a test that would have caught this earlier

- Adds the transient_id column to the members table. This defaults to
email, to keep it backwards compatible (not logging out all existing
sessions)
- Instead of using the email in the cookies, we now use the transient_id
- Updating the transient_id means invalidating all sessions of a member
- Adds an endpoint to the admin api to log out a member from all devices
- Added the `all` body property to the DELETE session endpoint in the
members API. Setting it to true will sign a member out from all devices.
- Adds a UI button in Admin to sign a member out from all devices
- Portal 'sign out of all devices' will not be added for now
Related changes (added because these areas were affected by the code
changes):
- Adds a serializer to member events / activity feed endpoints - all
member fields were returned here, so the transient_id would also be
returned - which is not needed and bloats the API response size
(`transient_id` is not a secret because the cookies are signed)
- Removed `loadMemberSession` from public settings browse (not used
anymore + bad pattern)
Performance tests on site with 50.000 members (on Macbook M1 Pro):
- Migrate: 6s (adding column 4s, setting to email is 1s, dropping
nullable: 1s)
- Rollback: 2s
As discussed with the product team we want to enforce kebab-case file names for
all files, with the exception of files which export a single class, in which
case they should be PascalCase and reflect the class which they export.
This will help find classes faster, and should push better naming for them too.
Some files and packages have been excluded from this linting, specifically when
a library or framework depends on the naming of a file for the functionality
e.g. Ember, knex-migrator, adapter-manager
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/14508
This change requires the frontend to send an explicit `emailType` when sending a magic link. We default to `subscribe` (`signin` for invite only sites) for now to remain compatible with the existing behaviour.
**Problem:**
When a member tries to login and that member doesn't exist, we created a new member in the past.
- This caused the creation of duplicate accounts when members were guessing the email address they used.
- This caused the creation of new accounts when using an old impersonation token, login link or email change link that was sent before member deletion.
**Fixed:**
- Trying to login with an email address that doesn't exist will throw an error now.
- Added new and separate rate limiting to login (to prevent user enumeration). This rate limiting has a higher default limit of 8. I think it needs a higher default limit (because it is rate limited on every call instead of per email address. And it should be configurable independent from administrator rate limiting. It also needs a lower lifetime value because it is never reset.
- Updated error responses in the `sendMagicLink` endpoint to use the default error encoding middleware.
- The type (`signin`, `signup`, `updateEmail` or `subscribe`) is now stored in the magic link. This is used to prevent signups with a sign in token.
**Notes:**
- Between tests, we truncate the database, but this is not enough for the rate limits to be truly reset. I had to add a method to the spam prevention service to reset all the instances between tests. Not resetting them caused random failures because every login in every test was hitting those spam prevention middlewares and somehow left a trace of that in those instances (even when the brute table is reset). Maybe those instances were doing some in memory caching.

- @tryghost/error constructors take an object, not a string - the expectation is that message, context & help should all be set
- This does the bare minimum and just ensures message is set correctly

The `cookies` module will unset a cookie if `null` or `undefined` is
passed as the value, or if the value is not passed. The previous call
was passing the options, which were being read as the value, and
resulting in `'[Object object]'` being stored as a cookie.
Explicitly passing `null` as the value makes this code correct and
easier to maintain.
