[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-27736) ClassCastException iterating DescribableList with inappropriate elements blocks job loading

Fri, 03 Apr 2015 05:28:54 -0700

Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: core
Created: 03/Apr/15 12:28 PM
Description:

A user of cloudbees-template somehow wound up with a template that specified a publisher in the <builders> section of a config.xml template. When Jenkins was next restarted, the job failed to load. The log file shows

java.lang.ClassCastException: hudson.plugins.descriptionsetter.DescriptionSetterPublisher cannot be cast to hudson.tasks.Builder

The CCE seems to be in





for (BuildStep step : getBuildersList()) {





meaning that the builders field in config.xml contained something that was not a Builder. As far as I know this remains vulnerable in Jenkins trunk despite the recent fix of JENKINS-22811 in adjoining code. Probably onLoad needs to scan the list for illegal elements, and if it finds any, remove them and call OldDataMonitor.report. (This could be a utility method in DescribableList.)
