[Severity: minor] Fixed the target="_blank"
vulnerability reported by James Gaskell.
Issue summary: If a victim had access to a spoofed version of ckeditor.com via HTTP (e.g. due to DNS spoofing, using a hacked public network or mailicious hotspot), then when using a link to the ckeditor.com website it was possible for the attacker to change the current URL of the opening page, even if the opening page was protected with SSL.

Clipboard (copy&paste, drag&drop) and file uploading features and improvements (#11437).
editor#paste
event and a set of new editor events was introduced — dragstart
, drop
, dragend
.editor#paste
event.editor#paste
event can have the range
parameter so it is possible to change the paste position in the listener or paste in the not selectable position. Also the editor.insertHtml()
method now accepts range
as an additional parameter.#11621: A configurable paste filter was introduced. The filter is by default turned to 'semantic-content'
on Webkit and Blink for all pasted content coming from external sources because of the low quality of HTML that these engines put into the clipboard. Internal and cross-editor paste is safe due to the change explained in the previous point.
Other changes and related fixes:
#12095: On drag and copy of widgets the same method is used to get selected HTML as in the normal case. Thanks to that styles applied to inline widgets are not lost.
#11219: Fixed: Dragging a captioned image does not fire the editor#paste
event.
#9554: [Webkit Mac] Fixed: Editor scrolls on paste.
#9898: [Webkit&Divarea] Fixed: Pasting causes undesirable scrolling.
#11993: [Chrome] Fixed: Pasting content scrolls the document.
#12613: Show the user that they can not drop on editor UI (toolbar, bottom bar).
#12851: [Blink/Webkit] Fixed: Formatting disappears when pasting content into cells.
#12914: Fixed: Copy/Paste of table broken in div
-based editor.
Browser support.
Browser support for related features varies significantly (see http://caniuse.com/clipboard).
File APIs needed to operate and file upload is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and below.
Only Chrome and Safari on Mac OS support setting custom data items in the clipboard, so currently it is possible to recognize the origin of the copied content in these browsers only. All drag and drop operations can be identified thanks to the new Data Transfer facade.
No Internet Explorer browser supports the standard clipboard API which results in small glitches like where only plain text can be dropped from outside the editor. Thanks to the new Data Transfer facade, internal and cross-editor drag and drop supports the full range of data.
Direct access to clipboard could only be implemented in Chrome, Safari on Mac OS, Opera and Firefox. In other browsers the pastebin must still be used.
#12875: Samples and toolbar configuration tools.
#10925: The Media Embed and Semantic Media Embed plugins were introduced. Read more about the new features in the Embedding Content article.
#10931: Added support for nesting widgets. It is now possible to insert one widget into another widget's nested editable. Note that unless nested editable's allowed content is defined precisely, starting from CKEditor 4.5 some widget buttons may become enabled. This feature is not supported in IE8. Included issues:
editor.insertHtml()
method. Fixes pasting a widget with a nested editable inside another widget's nested editable.Notification system:
#11636: Introduced new, UX-focused, methods for getting selected HTML and deleting it — editor.getSelectedHtml()
and editor.deleteSelectedHtml()
.
#12416: Added the widget.definition.upcastPriority
property which gives more control over widget upcasting order to the widget author.
#12036: Initialize the editor in read-only mode when the <textarea>
element has a readonly
attribute.
#11905: The resize
event passes the current dimensions in its data.
#12126: Introduced config.image_prefillDimensions
and config.image2_prefillDimensions
to make pre-filling width
and height
configurable for the Enhanced Image.
#12746: Added a new configuration option to hide the Enhanced Image resizer.
#12150: Exposed the getNestedEditable()
and is*
widget helper functions (see the static methods).
#12448: Introduced the editable.insertHtmlIntoRange
method.
#12143: Added the config.floatSpacePreferRight
configuration option that switches the alignment of the floating toolbar. Thanks to InvisibleBacon!
#10986: Added support for changing dialog input and textarea text directions by using the Shift+Alt+Home/End keystrokes. The direction is stored in the value of the input by prepending the \u202A
or \u202B
marker to it. Read more in the documentation. Thanks to edithkk!
#12770: Added support for passing widget's startup data as a widget command's argument. Thanks to Rebrov Boris and Tieme van Veen!
#11583: Added support for the HTML5 required
attribute in various form elements. Thanks to Steven Busse!
Changes:
config.mathJaxLibrary
option does not default to the MathJax CDN any more. It needs to be configured to enable the Mathematical Formulas plugin now.editable.insertHtml()
and editable.insertElement()
when the range
parameter is used. Now, the editor.insertElement()
method works on a higher level, which means that it saves undo snapshots and sets the selection after insertion. Use the editable.insertElementIntoRange()
method directly for the pre 4.5 behavior of editable.insertElement()
.editor.showNotification()
instead of alert()
directly whenever possible. When the Notification plugin is loaded, the notification system is used automatically. Otherwise, the native alert()
is displayed.dom.element.addClass()
, dom.element.removeClass()
and dom.element.hasClass()
methods. Note: The previous implementation allowed passing multiple classes to addClass()
although it was only a side effect of that implementation. The new implementation does not allow this.Fixed issues:
range.cloneContents()
should not change the DOM in order not to affect selection.dom.element.getChild()
should not modify a passed array.<br />
filler is placed in the wrong position by the range.fixBlock()

Both the Basic and the Standard distribution packages will not contain the new Indent Block plugin. Because of this the Advanced Content Filter might remove block indentations from existing contents.
