fix #1634:
1. Fix auth bypass in the default configuration with the addition of server.password (the REGISTER command was allowed before connection registration, allowing unauthenticated users to REGISTER and then take advantage of skip-server-password) 2. Caution operators against the use of require-sasl without disabling user-initiated account registration. (Such a configuration is still valid in the case of a public server that requires everyone to register.)

## [2.6.1] - 2021-04-26
|
||||
|
||||
Oragono 2.6.1 is a bugfix release, fixing a security issue that is critical for some private server configurations. We regret the oversight.
|
||||
|
||||
The issue affects two classes of server configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Private servers that use `server.password` (i.e., the `PASS` command) for protection. If `accounts.registration.allow-before-connect` is enabled, the `REGISTER` command can be used to bypass authentication. Affected operators should set this field to `false`, or upgrade to 2.6.1, which disallows the insecure configuration. (If the field does not appear in the configuration file, the configuration is secure since the value defaults to false when unset.)
|
||||
2. Private servers that use `accounts.require-sasl` for protection. If these servers do not additionally set `accounts.registration.enabled` to `false`, the `REGISTER` command can potentially be used to bypass authentication. Affected operators should set `accounts.registration.enabled` to false; this recommendation appeared in the operator manual but was not emphasized sufficiently. (Configurations that require SASL but allow open registration are potentially valid, e.g., in the case of public servers that require everyone to use a registered account; accordingly, Oragono 2.6.1 continues to permit such configurations.)
|
||||
|
||||
This release includes no changes to the config file format or the database.

|

|

This mode is comparable to Slack, Mattermost, or similar products intended as internal chat servers for an organization or team. In this mode, clients cannot connect to the server unless they log in with SASL as part of the initial handshake. This allows Oragono to be deployed facing the public Internet, with fine-grained control over who can log in.
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode, clients must have a valid account to connect, so they cannot register their own accounts. Accordingly, an operator must do the initial account creation, using the `SAREGISTER` command of NickServ. (For more details, `/msg NickServ help saregister`.) To bootstrap this process, you can make an initial connection from localhost, which is exempt (by default) from the requirement, or temporarily add your own IP to the exemption list. You can also use a more permissive configuration for bootstrapping, then switch to this one once you have your account. Another possibility is permanently exempting an internal network, e.g., `10.0.0.0/8`, that only trusted people can access.
