* Remove deprecated "getNonceOldStyle" function This commit removes the following functions: - getNonceOldStyle - generateNonceStringOldStyle The functions have been replaced in newer versions of grav. It seems to me that they only existed in order to make a upgrade to a newer version of grav painless (i.e. accept both types of nonce tokens). Nowadays, existing old style nonces are expired long time ago so it should be save to delete the deprecated funtions. * Fix caching of nonces in static class variable Currently, the behavior of `getNonce` is broken because it saves the generated nonce in an array and only use the $action as the key. However, the generated nonce does not only depend on the $action, but also on $plusOneTick. * Fix broken "plusOneTick" for nonces It looks to me that there is a bug in the current implemention of verifyNonce. Here is an example: - 2018-08-01 10:00: We respond to a request and generate a nonce. The current tick is at 35489 - 2018-08-01 10:05: We use the previously generated nonce to make another request. We compare the given nounce with a new generated one (based on the same tick). The result is exactly the same and the request succeeds. - 2018-08-01 14:00: We're now one tick ahead. Remember: A day (24 hours) is separated into two ticks (each 12 hours). A request comes in, we compare the given nounce with a newly generated one based on the current tick (now at 35490). They don't match (which is totally okay). If the comparison fails, we then compare the given nounce with a another, newly generated one. This time, we pass "plusOneTick", to the function, which increases the current tick by one. Our tick is now at 35491. We generate a nonce based on that tick and of course, it still does not match the given nonce. Instead of increasing the tick, we should rather decreasing it by one (i.e. use the previous tick). If the first comparison fails, we use the current tick (35490), decrease it by one (35489) and then compare it again. 35489 is the same tick as in the very first request. This bug leads to a maximum life time of 12 hours for a nonce and in worst case only a few seconds (!) I would like to prove the bug with an unit test but I'm too unexperienced in PHP. Furthermore it seems that we need some kind of library which is able to mock builtin functions (like "time"). Maybe <https://github.com/Codeception/AspectMock> would be a good canditate?
