fix(security): require tokens for AJAX admin toggles and account actions - #656
New Xoops\Core\Security::requireAjaxToken(): accepts a state change only as a POST with the token in the request body, keeps the token so all toggles on a page share one, and answers 403 otherwise so Xoops.changeStatus() / system_setStatus() do not flip the icon.
Toggles now token-protected: avatars (system, custom), page content and related, profile registration steps, smilies, user ranks. The existing guards in page permissions and the images admin header now use the helper.
System module: system_addAjaxToken() gives blocks.js, module.js and the system templates the token as XOOPS_TOKEN. Protected ops: blocks display / drag / order, modules active / display_in_menu / order, control panel system_activate.
Account actions
Self-delete in user.php and modules/profile/user.php now validates the token its confirm form already sends.
modules/profile/admin/deactivate.php requires POST plus a token and accepts only level 0 or 1. The user info form sends the token.
Fixes found on the way
system/admin/blocksadmin/main.php did not parse on PHP 8 ($_{$key}), so the blocks admin page was down.
The page content display toggle posted to the nonexistent pagecontent.php; it now posts to content.php.
Left as is
Logout by GET link: low impact, and changing it breaks every theme's logout link.
Marking a message read on view, and userconfigs restoring a user's own defaults on view: not cross-site state changes.
Tests
Full suite passes. SecurityTest covers a valid POST passing twice with one token. The reject path ends in exit(), so check it in a browser: toggles still flip, and a request without the token gets 403.
Summary by Sourcery
Harden administrative AJAX toggles and account state-changing actions against CSRF while restoring affected administration functionality.
New Features:
Require CSRF tokens and POST requests for AJAX administrative state changes across avatars, page content, permissions, profile steps, smilies, user ranks, blocks, modules, and system controls.
Protect self-account deletion and profile-admin user activation/deactivation actions with token validation.
Bug Fixes:
Correct the PHP 8 parse error that prevented the blocks administration page from loading.
Fix the page content display toggle to submit to the correct content administration endpoint.
Enhancements:
Add reusable AJAX token handling that preserves a page token across multiple toggles and returns HTTP 403 for rejected requests.
Expose shared AJAX tokens to system administration scripts and templates.
Tests:
Extend security unit coverage for valid AJAX token reuse across multiple requests.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Security
Administrative status changes across avatars, pages, profile settings, smilies, system settings, blocks, modules, and user ranks now require valid request verification.
Account deletion now checks request verification before proceeding, with an error message shown if verification fails.
Avatar updates and profile deactivation use validated request values before applying changes.

Walkthrough
This change adds reusable AJAX token validation and applies it to administrative updates across several modules. It also adds token checks and POST-only input handling to profile administration and confirmed account deletion flows.
requireAjaxToken() checks for POST and a valid token without clearing it. A unit test verifies repeated checks retain the token.
System admin token provisioning and requests htdocs/modules/system/include/functions.php, htdocs/modules/system/admin.php, htdocs/modules/system/admin/blocksadmin/main.php, htdocs/modules/system/admin/extensions/main.php, htdocs/modules/system/admin/modulesadmin/main.php, htdocs/modules/system/blocks/main.php, htdocs/modules/system/js/*, htdocs/modules/system/templates/admin/*
System pages supply a token to JavaScript requests. Block and module update handlers require AJAX tokens. Block filter defaults are passed directly to Request::getInt.
Module administrative status updates htdocs/modules/avatars/..., htdocs/modules/images/admin/header.php, htdocs/modules/page/admin/*, htdocs/modules/page/templates/admin/*, htdocs/modules/smilies/..., htdocs/modules/userrank/...
Avatar, image, page, smiley, and user-rank updates require tokens. Their toggle requests supply tokens. The page display toggle now targets content.php.
Profile and account-changing requests htdocs/modules/profile/admin/*, htdocs/modules/profile/templates/*, htdocs/modules/profile/user.php, htdocs/user.php
Profile administration supplies tokens for update requests and forms. Deactivation uses checked POST values. Confirmed account deletion checks the token before continuing.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 97896
The change adds CSRF tokens to many admin toggles, but one alternate page-status operation can still be triggered by a plain GET, so the protection is incomplete there. The profile deactivate endpoint can also deactivate an account when the level value is missing or invalid. Admin pages left open for over an hour will silently stop saving toggles and reordering until reloaded. Fix the unguarded operation and the level validation before merging.

Protect the alternate menu-status operation.
The new check protects update_status, but case 'view' at Lines 195–206 also toggles related_domenu without a token check. A GET request with op=view and a valid related_id selects that branch and changes the same state. Remove the alternate mutation path or apply the POST-and-token check to both operations.

Reject invalid levels instead of deactivating the user.
If a valid POST omits level or sends level=2, this expression sets the level to 0 and deactivates the account. Reject missing values and values other than 0 or 1 before saving. The PR objective specifies that only those two levels are accepted.

Handle expiry of the page token.
After one hour, the token expires and every toggle on the open page receives HTTP 403. Xoops.changeStatus() has no failure handler, so the administrator receives no explanation. Handle the failure and prompt for a page refresh or renew the token. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Handle the expired AJAX token as a minor long-page failure.
After 3600 seconds, Security::validateToken() rejects the token. The sortable callbacks keep the reordered DOM in place, but the server rejects the request with HTTP 403. No error handler reports the failure, so the displayed order can differ from the saved order. Module toggle callbacks also provide no failure feedback.
Renew the token before expiry, or handle the 403 response and restore the displayed state. This affects pages kept open for more than one hour and is recoverable by reloading the page.

requireAjaxToken() exits after setting HTTP 403, so ordinary in-process PHPUnit tests cannot cover rejection paths. Add isolated subprocess tests for missing, invalid or expired tokens, non-POST requests, and query-only tokens. Assert status 403 and that code after the guard does not run.

Isolate the test from exit().
If the first validation consumes the token, the second call exits before the assertion. The test runner can then stop with exit code 0, leaving this regression and later tests unreported. Run this test in a separate process so PHPUnit reports the premature exit. (php.net)
As per path instructions: “Review test code for proper assertions, test isolation, and edge case coverage.”
