The admin-only raw HTML/JS embed is a deliberate stored-XSS surface, so gate the whole feature behind a workspace toggle that is OFF by default; it only works when a workspace admin explicitly enables it. - settings.htmlEmbed (boolean, default false) + workspace-update field htmlEmbed, persisted via WorkspaceRepo.updateSetting with an audit diff. Flipping it is admin-only (same Manage Settings CASL as other workspace toggles). - New gate htmlEmbedAllowed(featureEnabled, role) = featureEnabled && admin/owner. All 7 server write paths (create, duplicate, collab onStoreDocument, REST/MCP/AI updatePageContent, single + zip import, transclusion unsync) now read the workspace's settings.htmlEmbed and strip unless (toggle ON AND admin). OFF (default, or a failed/empty workspace lookup) strips htmlEmbed for EVERYONE including admins -> existing embeds are cleaned up on next save, none persist. - Client (defense-in-depth): the /html slash item is hidden unless toggle ON + admin; the NodeView executes nothing and shows a 'disabled in this workspace' placeholder when OFF; an admin Switch in Workspace Settings -> General with a description of the behavior. - docs/html-embed-admin.md documents the toggle + admin-only + fail-closed coedit (a non-admin save strips an admin's embed) + execution semantics.

# HTML embed (admin-only) — workspace feature toggle
|
|
|
|
The `htmlEmbed` node lets a workspace **admin/owner** embed raw HTML/CSS/JS that
|
|
**executes in the wiki page origin** for everyone who views the page. This is a
|
|
deliberate stored-XSS surface (e.g. for analytics trackers / third-party
|
|
widgets). It is gated behind a per-workspace feature toggle that is **OFF by
|
|
default**.
|
|
|
|
## Behavior
|
|
|
|
- **OFF by default.** A fresh/unconfigured workspace has the feature disabled
|
|
(`settings.htmlEmbed` absent or `false`). With the toggle OFF, htmlEmbed is
|
|
stripped on every save for **everyone, including admins** — the feature is
|
|
fully disabled.
|
|
- **Only admins/owners can insert.** When the toggle is ON, the `/html` slash
|
|
item (and the embed editor) is offered only to workspace admins/owners.
|
|
Members never see it. The gate is **toggle AND admin**.
|
|
- **Server strips on every write path (fail-closed).** The UI gate is a
|
|
convenience only. The server independently strips htmlEmbed nodes from every
|
|
write where the gate is not satisfied. If a **non-admin** edits and saves a
|
|
page that contains an admin's embed, that save **strips the embed** — the
|
|
admin must re-add it. Same if the toggle is OFF.
|
|
- **Turning the toggle OFF neutralizes existing embeds.** Existing embeds are
|
|
stripped on their next save (collab store / REST / etc.), and the client
|
|
NodeView stops executing them immediately, rendering a disabled placeholder
|
|
instead (defense in depth at render time).
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
The toggle lives in the workspace `settings` jsonb at the top level:
|
|
`settings.htmlEmbed` (boolean). ABSENT/`false` => OFF.
|
|
|
|
- Update field: `htmlEmbed: boolean` on `UpdateWorkspaceDto`.
|
|
- Persisted by `WorkspaceService.update` via
|
|
`WorkspaceRepo.updateSetting(workspaceId, 'htmlEmbed', value)` (top-level
|
|
scalar settings key; analogous to `updateAiSettings`). The change is
|
|
audit-logged like the AI toggles.
|
|
|
|
## Server gate
|
|
|
|
`apps/server/src/common/helpers/prosemirror/html-embed.util.ts`:
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
// Allowed only when the workspace feature toggle is ON and the user is admin/owner.
|
|
export function htmlEmbedAllowed(featureEnabled: boolean, role): boolean {
|
|
return featureEnabled === true && canAuthorHtmlEmbed(role);
|
|
}
|
|
// settings.htmlEmbed === true (ABSENT/non-true => OFF).
|
|
export function isHtmlEmbedFeatureEnabled(settings): boolean { ... }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every write-path gate site reads the workspace's setting
|
|
(`workspace.settings?.htmlEmbed === true`, via `WorkspaceRepo.findById`) and
|
|
applies `!htmlEmbedAllowed(featureEnabled, role)` before persisting. The 7 sites:
|
|
|
|
- `core/page/services/page.service.ts` — `create()` and `duplicatePage()`
|
|
- `collaboration/extensions/persistence.extension.ts` — collab store
|
|
- `collaboration/collaboration.handler.ts` — REST/MCP/AI content update
|
|
- `integrations/import/services/import.service.ts` — single import
|
|
- `integrations/import/services/file-import-task.service.ts` — zip import
|
|
- `core/page/transclusion/transclusion.service.ts` — transclusion unsync
|
|
|
|
## Client
|
|
|
|
- Slash menu: the `/html` item carries `requiresHtmlEmbedFeature: true` and
|
|
`adminOnly: true`; it is hidden unless the persisted
|
|
`workspace.settings.htmlEmbed === true` AND the user is admin. The slash
|
|
function reads the toggle from the persisted `currentUser` localStorage entry
|
|
(same mechanism as `isCurrentUserAdmin()`).
|
|
- NodeView (`html-embed-view.tsx`): only executes the raw HTML/JS when the
|
|
toggle is ON; otherwise renders a neutral "HTML embed is disabled in this
|
|
workspace" placeholder and injects nothing.
|
|
- Admin UI: a Switch in **Workspace Settings → General** (`HtmlEmbedSettings`)
|
|
toggles the feature with an optimistic `updateWorkspace({ htmlEmbed })`, with a
|
|
description documenting the security implications.
