Pull Requests Opened This Week: 6

Key Open Pull Requests

1. fix: prevent 500 crash in vault picker after user/contact deletion: This pull request fixes a 500 server error in the vault picker by ensuring that the vault dashboard rendering gracefully handles cases where a user's associated contact has been deleted, preventing a type error caused by passing a null contact to a non-nullable parameter.

• URL: pull/7966

• Associated Commits: 2d40a

2. fix: restrict document upload file types to prevent XSS (#7959): This pull request fixes a security vulnerability by adding a strict allowlist of safe file types to the document upload validation rules, preventing the upload and public serving of executable files like HTML that could enable cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and account takeover.

• URL: pull/7967

• Associated Commits: 30990

3. fix: escape release notes from external version server (#7960): This pull request fixes a security vulnerability by changing the rendering of release notes fetched from an external version server in the Monica app to use Blade's HTML-escaped syntax instead of unescaped output, preventing potential cross-site scripting attacks from malicious content injected via the version server.

• URL: pull/7968

• Associated Commits: 4d1ab

Other Open Pull Requests

• Journal entries synchronization: This pull request fixes the issue where journal entries created via the API were not appearing in the web UI by ensuring that the API controller mirrors the web controller's behavior to create, update, and delete the corresponding polymorphic journal_entries rows. This synchronization prevents orphaned records and keeps the data consistent across interfaces.
  pull/7969

• Activity log spam reduction: This pull request addresses activity log spam by modifying the PostController::update() method to only detach and attach contacts that have actually been removed or newly added when editing a journal post. This prevents duplicate "added the contact to a post" entries from being created when saving a post without changes to tagged contacts.
  pull/7970

• TrustProxies middleware registration for Laravel 11: This pull request fixes the issue where Laravel 11 did not register the TrustProxies middleware, causing post-login redirects to generate insecure http:// URLs behind TLS-terminating reverse proxies. By wiring the middleware in bootstrap/app.php to trust proxy headers based on the existing APP_TRUSTED_PROXIES environment variable, it ensures redirects use https:// and prevents mixed content blocking in the Inertia SPA.
  pull/7971
