If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Can you verify that the insecure eval happens in the .../SpreadSheetPlugin/Calc.pm ... reading the error logs.

A similar error has been reported in SpreadSheetPluginDev. Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce this error on any of my installations, though I suspect that the RenderPageNavigation TopicFunction in the BlogPlugin is evoking the error as this function is called when your click on "reply" and does a couple of CALC calls. Try to disable one by one of those CALCs and test again, please.

I get this error of Insecure Dependency only on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant) Kernel 2.6.9-5.ELsmp on an i686 and perl v5.8.5 . When I installed it on my desktop with Windows and Perl 5.6 it worked fine without any error. So to overcome this problem on the Linux Server, I removed the -T switch in the twiki/bin/view script (first line). Now I am not getting this error. But still the cause of the problem is not known but only this workaround is available.

I have no idea why an untained variable throws a taint error in eval. See my comment in SpreadSheetPluginDev.

This same problem is described, along with a solution, in BlogPluginDev .
