XF 2.1 XF 2.1 - Job.php running wild

[ichpen]

So this appears very reminiscent of the bug fixed here that I also previously experienced:

Fixed - Infinite HTTP requests : running AJAX job.php

Hello, Don't ask me why, but every visitors on my forum are calling the job.php file (via XHR request). That's making a huge amount of unwanted HTTP requests. I searched every JS and PHP files on my server to find a backdoor, but nothing... Here is an example : Any ideas ?

Since upgrading to 2.1 yesterday I'm noticing both on in Chrome console as well as GTMetrix and other online profiling tools that job.php is having a bit of a field day:

Next step is to try disabling addons but wondering if this has been reported prior.

Ideally we’d need some idea of which jobs are being run. You would have to look at the xf_job table for this.

I did take a peek in there and didn't see any odd jobs but will grab a snapshot tomorrow. Appreciate the help.

The culprit was the latest version of Sendy (2.0.5) by @truonglv. Merely disabling the addon did not remove the errant cron job entry so anyone that experiences this do uninstall it.

In case someone else has this issue.

There are only job EmailBounce check which triggered through cron. If the add-on are disabled, the cron never run and that job never be triggered. So what the job you mention for?

The sendy job was in xf job after disabling. Uninstalling your addon immediately stopped the 250+ instances of job.php that were running at every page reload. I'm just telling you what happened. Feel free to investigate as you see fit.

Boy, am I ever having this problem with job.php, but I'm not using that add-on. It involves sending THOUSANDS of emails; AWS SES has shut me down.

I'll start disabling some add-on.

based on info I saw in another thread, I truncated the xf_jobs table and the emails have stopped. Still unsure the cause, but my deployment is pretty compex... I've sought to simplify it.
