Archive results for private messages are incomplete

Anno_van_Vliet · December 8, 2024, 6:46pm

Testing with openfire 4.8.3 and Monitoring plugin 3.6.1

Assume two users A and B. A and B have joined the same anonymous room. They have both sent each other 2 private messages in the room. They have also opened a private chat and send each other 2 direct private messages.

When user A sends a query to his own archive (to:A) and specifies a with critirium for B (with=B), the plugin returns 6 messages: 4 private and two whispers, the private messages sent by B as room participant. In fact those are the two messages which user A should not be allowed to know that they were send by B, because they were send by the B room alias.

It does not matter if the room was not anonymous, the result is always 6 messages, so either their are 2 message to many or 2 are missing (the private messages A has sent to B in the Room)

I had a look in the code, but this only added to the confusement.

Hi Anno,

Thanks for reporting this. Please bear with me as I’m trying to reproduce with a copious amount of examples.

I have tried to reproduce the issue(s) using this snippet of Smack code executed against Openfire in demoboot. I suspect that behavior is pretty consistent across versions, but I’ve used Smack 4.5.0-beta5, Openfire 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT and Monitoring 2.7.0-SNAPSHOT (things that I happened to have installed).

The Smack code that I had was this:

import org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionConfiguration;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackConfiguration;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.MessageBuilder;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration;
import org.jivesoftware.smackx.mam.MamManager;
import org.jivesoftware.smackx.muc.MultiUserChat;
import org.jivesoftware.smackx.muc.MultiUserChatManager;
import org.jxmpp.jid.impl.JidCreate;
import org.jxmpp.jid.parts.Resourcepart;

public class TestClientMam
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        SmackConfiguration.setDefaultReplyTimeout(5000);
        SmackConfiguration.DEBUG = true;

        final XMPPTCPConnection connJane = new XMPPTCPConnection(
                XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                    .setUsernameAndPassword("jane", "secret")
                    .setXmppDomain("example.org")
                    .setHost("localhost")
                    .setResource("test")
                    .setPort(5222)
                    .addEnabledSaslMechanism("PLAIN")
                    .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                    .build());

        final XMPPTCPConnection connJohn = new XMPPTCPConnection(
            XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                .setUsernameAndPassword("john", "secret")
                .setXmppDomain("example.org")
                .setHost("localhost")
                .setResource("test")
                .setPort(5222)
                .addEnabledSaslMechanism("PLAIN")
                .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                .build());

        // Reduce XMPP data in debug output.
        connJane.setUseStreamManagement(false);
        connJane.setUseStreamManagementResumption(false);

        connJane.connect();
        connJohn.connect();
        try {
            connJane.login();
            connJohn.login();

            final MultiUserChat mucJane = MultiUserChatManager.getInstanceFor(connJane).getMultiUserChat(JidCreate.entityBareFrom("test@conference.example.org"));
            mucJane.createOrJoin(Resourcepart.from("Jill")).makeInstant();
            final MultiUserChat mucJohn = MultiUserChatManager.getInstanceFor(connJohn).getMultiUserChat(JidCreate.entityBareFrom("test@conference.example.org"));
            mucJohn.createOrJoin(Resourcepart.from("Jack"));

            connJane.sendStanza(MessageBuilder.buildMessage().to(connJohn.getUser()).setBody("Direct message from Jane to John").build());
            connJohn.sendStanza(MessageBuilder.buildMessage().to(connJane.getUser()).setBody("Direct message from John to Jane").build());
            mucJane.sendMessage("MUC message (public) from Jane");
            mucJohn.sendMessage("MUC message (public) from John");
            mucJane.createPrivateChat(JidCreate.entityFullFrom("test@conference.example.org/Jack"), null).sendMessage("MUC message (private) from Jane (as Jill) to John (as Jack).");
            mucJohn.createPrivateChat(JidCreate.entityFullFrom("test@conference.example.org/Jill"), null).sendMessage("MUC message (private) from John (as Jack) to Jane (as Jill).");

            Thread.sleep(250);

            final MamManager janeMamManager = MamManager.getInstanceFor(connJane);
            janeMamManager.getMamNamespace();

            janeMamManager.queryArchive(MamManager.MamQueryArgs.builder().build()).getMessages();

            Thread.sleep(250);

            janeMamManager.queryArchive(MamManager.MamQueryArgs.builder().limitResultsToJid(JidCreate.bareFrom("john@example.org")).build()).getMessages();

            Thread.sleep(250);

        } finally {
            connJane.disconnect();
            connJohn.disconnect();
        }
    }
}

This generates XMPP stanzas that query both the entire personal archive of Jane, as well as another query result that contains data from Jane’s personal archive, filtered for John.

The full XMPP dump for only Jane’s connection is included below.

The first query (without the ‘with’ clause) results in 5 messages:

Direct message from Jane to John
Direct message from John to Jane
MUC message (public) from Jane
MUC message (private) from Jane (as Jill) to John (as Jack).
MUC message (private) from John (as Jack) to Jane (as Jill).

The second query (that does define the ‘with’ clause) results in 3 messages:

Direct message from Jane to John
Direct message from John to Jane
MUC message (private) from John (as Jack) to Jane (as Jill).

One thing (out of possibly multiple issues) that is clearly incorrect is the inconsistency with regards to the inclusion of MUC private messages in the result sets.

The first set contains both the ‘sent’ and ‘received’ message, while the second set only contains the ‘received’ message. That is clearly inconsistent. You’d expect the same messages to be in both result sets.

I have raised the following ticket for this: Inconsistent MUC PM inclusion in queries that use 'with' · Issue #422 · igniterealtime/openfire-monitoring-plugin · GitHub

A proposed fix is available in Fix Inconsistent MUC PM inclusion in queries that use 'with' by guusdk · Pull Request #423 · igniterealtime/openfire-monitoring-plugin · GitHub

I would love your feedback on this.

There is likely at least one other issue here: when the room is semi-anonymous, then the ‘with’ clause (using the ‘real’ JID of a user) probably should not result in private messages received from that user, as in a semi-anonymous room the ‘real’ JID of the user is not visible to the owner of the message archive (unless they’re an admin or something)

In other words: If the room is semi-anonymous, then Jane does not know that the private message received from nickname ‘Jack’ was actually sent by user john@example.org. By returning the private message in the result set to Jane when she asks for all messages with john@example.org, Openfire leaks the information that the MUC participant ‘Jack’ was actually john@example.org.
