This ommmit contains some security hardening measures for the Hugo build runtime.
There are some rarely used features in Hugo that would be good to have disabled by default. One example would be the "external helpers".
For `asciidoctor` and some others we use Go's `os/exec` package to start a new process.
These are a predefined set of binary names, all loaded from `PATH` and with a predefined set of arguments. Still, if you don't use `asciidoctor` in your project, you might as well have it turned off.
You can configure your own in the new `security` configuration section, but the defaults are configured to create a minimal amount of site breakage. And if that do happen, you will get clear instructions in the loa about what to do.
The default configuration is listed below. Note that almost all of these options are regular expression _whitelists_ (a string or a slice); the value `none` will block all.
```toml
[security]
enableInlineShortcodes = false
[security.exec]
allow = ['^dart-sass-embedded$', '^go$', '^npx$', '^postcss$']
osEnv = ['(?i)^(PATH|PATHEXT|APPDATA|TMP|TEMP|TERM)$']
[security.funcs]
getenv = ['^HUGO_']
[security.http]
methods = ['(?i)GET|POST']
urls = ['.*']
```
Unless the merge strategy is set up to do so.
For `disableKinds` the current workaround is to make sure the project config has an entry, even if is empty:
```
disableKinds = []
```
Note that this issue only touches root, non-map config-values that either is not set in project config or in Hugo's defaults.
Fixes#8866
This commit adds support for using the `cascade` keyword in your configuration file(s), e.g. `config.toml`.
Note that
* Every feature of `cascade` is available, e.g. `_target` to target specific page sets.
* Pages, e.g. the home page, can overwrite the cascade defined in config.
Fixes#8741
The main motivation behind this is simplicity and correctnes, but the new small config library is also faster:
