Impact
---
An attacker can read arbitrary `.md` files from the server's filesystem due to an [improper input validation](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html), which results in the ability to perform a [relative path traversal](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/23.html).

PoC / Quicktest
---
To verify if you are affected, you can try to open the following URL: `http://localhost:3000/..%2F..%2FREADME#` (replace `http://localhost:3000` with your instance's base-URL e.g. `https://demo.hedgedoc.org/..%2F..%2FREADME#`).
- If you see a README page being rendered, you run an affected version.
Analysis
---
The attack works due the fact that [the internal router, passes the url-encoded alias](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/blob/master/lib/web/note/router.js#L26) to the `noteController.showNote`-function. This function passes the input directly to [`findNote()`](78a732abe6/lib/web/note/util.js (L10)) utility function, that will pass it on the the [`parseNoteId()`](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L188-L258))-function, that tries to make sense out of the noteId/alias and check if a note already exists and if so, if a corresponding file on disk was updated.
If no note exists the [note creation-function is called](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L240-L245)), which pass this unvalidated alias, with a `.md` appended, into a [`path.join()`-function](78a732abe6/lib/models/note.js (L99)) which is read from the filesystem in the follow up routine and provides the pre-filled content of the new note.
This allows an attacker to not only read arbitrary `.md` files from the filesystem, but also observes changes to them.
The usefulness of this attack can be considered limited, since mainly markdown files are use the file-ending `.md` and all markdown files contained in the hedgedoc project, like the README, are public anyway. If other protections such as a chroot or container or proper file permissions are in place, this attack's usefulness is rather limited.
Workarounds
---
On a reverse-proxy level one can force a URL-decode, which will prevent this attack because the router will not accept such a path.

As explained in #391, the previous note creation logic didn't handle the case "alias is set, but it's not a file on disk". The fix introduces a separate if-statement for this scenario at the cost of a doubled filesystem read access.

We have various places with overly simple if statements that could be
handled by our logging library. Also a lot of those logs are not marked
as debug logs but as info logs, which can cause confusion during
debugging.
This patch removed unneeded if clauses around debug logging statements,
reworks debug log messages towards ECMA templates and add some new
logging statements which might be helpful in order to debug things like
image uploads.

Since we are about to release it's time to finally fix our linting. This
patch basically runs eslint --fix and does some further manual fixes.
Also it sets up eslint to fail on every warning on order to make
warnings visable in the CI process.

Since our previous scrypt library is unmaintained since 3 years, it's
time to look for an alternative.
A refactoring towards another password algorithm was worked on and this
is probably still the way to go. But for now the successor of our
previous library should already be enough.

In the current setup users could be tricked into deleting their data by
providing a malicious link like `[click me](/me/delete)`. This commit
prevents such an easy attack and need the user's deleteToken to get his
data deleted. In case someone requests his deletion by email you can
also ask him for this token.
We can add a GUI that shows it later on.
