[jira] [Updated] (ACCUMULO-4590) Use JSON.parse instead of eval on client side javascript

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4590?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Josh Elser updated ACCUMULO-4590:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Right now we rely on "eval" to decode json results in the monitor display:

[vis.js|https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/master/server/monitor/src/main/resources/web/vis.js#L85]

{code}
function handleNewData() {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState!=4) {
    return;
  }
  if (xmlhttp.status!=200 || xmlhttp.responseText==null) {
    xmlReturned = true;
    return;
  }
  var newstats = eval('(' + xmlhttp.responseText + ')');
{code}

We should instead use JSON.parse
