The marketplace now talks to the extension directory's v2 API only. The
detail page lists every version, previews the one picked, installs it,
and refuses a version the publisher withdrew unless the admin confirms,
or one outside the Bulwark range it supports. The listing gains sort, an
Installed view and an updates strip fed by the directory's updates check,
with notices for advisories, deprecations and suspensions.
A self-hosted directory older than 2026-10-14 has no v2 API and no
longer works with the marketplace.
Plugins that talk to Nextcloud, Paperless or an AI provider used to need
the password or key in their own settings, readable by the plugin and
stored in the browser. A plugin can now declare credentials in its
manifest and send requests "with credential X" through the server:
- `credentials` in the manifest: admin scope (secret and server from the
admin config) or user scope (the user connects an account; the server
address is fixed or chosen by the user)
- `/api/plugin-secrets`: the user's connected accounts, encrypted per
mail account under `PLUGIN_SECRETS_DIR`; listing never returns secrets
- `/api/plugin-proxy`: adds the secret and forwards only to the
credential's own origin, through the SSRF guard unless the admin set
the server up or listed it in `PLUGIN_PROXY_PRIVATE_ORIGINS`; no
redirects or WebDAV moves to other servers, streamed bodies capped at
512 MB up and 2 GB down, 300 requests a minute per plugin, 8 at once
per user, and one audit line per request without paths or bodies
- a capture mode that stores a secret from a sign-in response (Nextcloud
Login Flow v2) and removes it from what the plugin gets back
The admin page offered "User Plugin Uploads" and "Require Admin
Approval", but nothing in Settings used them: there was no upload, no
uninstall and no way to ask for approval, and the admin had no list of
requests. The approval code that existed pinned a hash of the code only
and showed the admin a manifest the browser sent, never the code.
Now:
- Settings > Plugins has an install button (when uploads are allowed),
a remove button for the user's own plugins, and lists in plain
language what each plugin may do, high-risk items first
- an install sends the ZIP to the server, which reads the manifest and
code itself and pins the request to a hash of both
- the admin Plugins tab lists requests with the code and approves or
denies them; a user may have 10 open requests
- a user plugin is checked again on every start, so a revoked approval
or turning user plugins off takes effect
- the consent dialog and the plugin settings are translated, use the
theme colours, and show the sites a plugin may send data to
The Settings upload, the admin upload, the marketplace install and the
marketplace preview each parsed the ZIP and manifest with their own copy
of the code, and the copies had drifted. A `permissions` string skipped
validation and was then matched by substring, a small ZIP could inflate
to hundreds of megabytes on the server, the Settings upload dropped
`locales` and took origin lists unchecked, and settings schemas were
never checked at all.
All of them now go through `lib/extension-package.ts`:
- every file is inflated through a byte cap, with a limit on entries
- one manifest check: types, permissions, entrypoint, version,
minAppVersion, settingsSchema, configSchema, locales and origin lists
- only checked fields are stored
Users with several accounts can save the list of accounts in their browser
(address, server, label, colour) on the webmail server and bring it back on
another device. The list is encrypted in the browser with a password the user
chooses (PBKDF2-SHA-256, 600,000 iterations, AES-256-GCM, owner bound as
additional data); the server stores only the envelope, one file per owner
under SETTINGS_DATA_DIR/account-archives. No mailbox passwords are included.
Off by default behind the admin feature gate accountArchiveEnabled, pinned
off in Lite. Every method of /api/account-archive needs a session cookie of
the owner, matched without regard to case, whose credential is checked
against the mail server on each call; listing included.
Restored accounts this browser lacks are listed as awaiting sign-in: they
survive a reload, and opening one leads to the sign-in form with the address
filled in. Accounts already present get their archived label and colour.
The agenda sidecar queried only the session's primary calendar account,
so events in a shared or group account (a family or team calendar) never
reached the Calendar Agenda plugin, although the calendar app shows them.
Read every account the calendar app reads: the primary account plus
accounts that advertise the calendar capability or are not personal,
mirroring the client's getCalendarCapableAccountIds(). Event and
calendar ids repeat across accounts, so the DTO id is scoped as
<accountId>:<id> and carries accountId; calendar colours are looked up
per account. A shared account whose calendars cannot be read is skipped
instead of failing the whole agenda; a failure of the primary account is
still reported.
