Enterprise Edition: JUnit file cannot be parsed with Jenkins

Yuta | Last updated: Apr 30, 2024 02:42PM UTC

Hi team, Our team is using the CI-driven scan feature of the Enterprise Edition integrating Jenkins and we are currently facing "XML Parsing Error: reference to invalid character number" error when we try to display the scan result from the JUnit file generated by Burp Suite using Jenkins 'JUnit' plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/junit/) and 'Warnings' plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/warnings-ng/). It seems there are invalid characters inside the JUnit file: ``` XML Parsing Error: reference to invalid character number Location: https://XXXXX/jenkins/job/XXXXX/job/XXXXX/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/burp_junit_report.xml Line Number 6251, Column 6: PK]]>&#3;&#4; -----^ ``` ``` Failed to read test report file /home/jenkins/workspace/XXXXX/XXXXX/burp_junit_report.xml org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 6251 of document : Character reference "&#3" is an invalid XML character. at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:511) at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:392) at hudson.tasks.junit.SuiteResult.parse(SuiteResult.java:194) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.parse(TestResult.java:422) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.parsePossiblyEmpty(TestResult.java:337) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.parse(TestResult.java:279) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.parse(TestResult.java:265) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.parse(TestResult.java:243) at hudson.tasks.junit.TestResult.<init>(TestResult.java:196) at hudson.tasks.junit.JUnitParser$ParseResultCallable.invoke(JUnitParser.java:185) at hudson.FilePath$FileCallableWrapper.call(FilePath.java:3616) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:211) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:54) at hudson.remoting.Request$2.run(Request.java:377) at hudson.remoting.InterceptingExecutorService.lambda$wrap$0(InterceptingExecutorService.java:78) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at hudson.remoting.Engine$1.lambda$newThread$0(Engine.java:125) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 6251; columnNumber: 10; Character reference "&#3" is an invalid XML character. at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLScanner.reportFatalError(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLScanner.scanCharReferenceValue(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContentDriver.next(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentScannerImpl.next(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLNSDocumentScannerImpl.next(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at java.xml/com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserImpl$JAXPSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.dom4j.io.SAXReader.read(SAXReader.java:494) ... 19 more ``` It would be great if you could help us solve this error. This is a blocker for us to display scan results on Jenkins native UI. Our environment is as follows: - Enterprise: v2024.3.2 - Agent: public.ecr.aws/portswigger/enterprise-scan-container:2024.3.1 - Jenkins: v2.426.3 - Jenkins JUnit plugin: 1265.v65b_14fa_f12f0 - Jenkins Warnings plugin: 11.3.0 Let me know if you need further information. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Yuta, can you send us an email at support@portswigger.net about this? It might be easier to diagnose this over email rather than the forum.

Hi Josh, Actually, we sent an email to support@ already last week and we haven't got a reply so far. Let me send an email again to support@ about this topic just in case. Thank you so much for your support!
