Summary

Chart macro crashes or makes Confluence unresponsive depending on the settings and values used to compose the graph.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a page
Add the Chart macro with the following settings:
- Type = timeSeries
- Content Orientation = vertical
- Date format = MMM yyyy
- Time Period - Month
Create a table with 2 columns in the body of the chart macro
- First column = Date
- Second column = Value
Add two lines with these values:
1. Jan 21 2018 | 123123
2. Feb 222018 | 123456
Edit the Chart macro to preview the graph

For some reason, if we put the data with the year altogether, the macro breaks and the instance stops responding.

This also happens if the date has two <span> tag in the source code:

<td colspan="1"><span>Jan 28 </span><span>2019</span></td>

Expected Results

The graph will work or the macro prints out a message indicating an issue with the format of the input value.

Actual Results

The application hangs and may eventually crash with high CPU or heap exhaustion.

Without thread dumps, stuck threads referencing a page that contains the chart will be recorded within the catalina logs. The related stack trace will reference a Java package utilized by the Chart macro along with some method involving date processing - for example:

Notes

In this example we simply keep the day and year together, which causes the problem.

However, it's important to note that other combinations that do not conform to Java's SimpleDataFormat may result in the same problem.

Workaround

To fix an incorrect date format contained with the Chart macro configuration:

If the page containing the Chart macro is displayable, edit the Chart macro configuration natively or the page's source code using the Source Code Editor plugin and look for multiple span tags in the same cell of the table.
If the page containing the Chart macro can't be displayed, disable the Chart plugin:
- Click on > Manage Apps
- Enter chart in the search field
- Change the dropdown list to System
- (i)You should see chart-plugin being filtered below after all the apps have been loaded
- Click chart-plugin to expand it
- Click Disable
- Then edit the Chart macro configuration natively or the page source as mentioned above.

Also, note that LTS Confluence 8.5.x should now display a message indicating a formatting issue with the input data - for example:

Incorrect data values found in the content. Date format: yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm

As such, another option would be to upgrade to this LTS release.
