release: 2.14.4: the follow-ups of the security audit of 2026-10-17
test / test (push) Canceled after 0s

Stages 0-6 of docs/security-audit-2026-10-17.md in one cut: the high A2
(the user form asks for the account password), the seven mediums (M1, M2,
M3, W1, I1, I2, A1) and the lows and nits the plan names, with three
read-only security reviews of the fixes and their findings fixed. Stage H
(the test server's host) is the owner's.

No migration; schema 13. Upgrading: give the TLS key to group 10997;
copy antispam/ again where the sidecar runs (rspamd 4.2.2, a third file);
set TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR behind Apache on the host if unset.

make e2e (64 passed) and go vet + go test (26 packages) on the test server
for 32f6ed6, the tree this release commit adds only pins and notes to. The
pins (compose, README, guide), the guide's backup example, the planned
cuts, the roadmap row and the plan's stages marked shipped. No tag.

The follow-ups of the security audit of 2026-10-17
([docs/security-audit-2026-10-17.md](docs/security-audit-2026-10-17.md)),
stages 0-6: its one high (A2), its seven mediums and the lows. No migration;
schema 13. Read *Upgrading* below: the TLS key's group, and copy
`antispam/` again where the sidecar runs.

same in whatever renews it. Group 10998, which the guide named until now,
has Postfix in it; the backup keeps working with either, but only 10997
keeps the key from Postfix's daemons.
- **With the antispam sidecar, copy `antispam/` again** (audit S4): rspamd
4.2.2, and a third file, `antispam/rspamd/worker-proxy.inc`, that the
fragment now mounts; `docker compose ... up -d` recreates the sidecar.
- **Behind Apache on the host, set `TRUSTED_PROXY_CIDR`** if it is not set
(audit A1): the guide's install step prints the gateway to put there; the
panel's log says so after the first requests when it is missing.
### Security
- **A stolen `global` session no longer takes a full backup** (security
audit 2026-10-17, A2, high): the user form set the signed-in user's own
password without the current one, which then passed the backup's password
check. Adding a user, setting a password, changing an e-mail or a role on
the user form, and deleting a user now ask for your own account password,
as a backup does, under the same limit on wrong guesses - which now
counts wrong passwords only.
- **One stranger behind a shared proxy no longer locks everyone out of
signing in** (audit A1, A8, A9): sign-in counts failures per address and
username (a hundred per address alone), a right password no longer

milter before Postfix holds it to the login, so a client that never
