If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list 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#Insecure_dependency_error .
