How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:10 tinymce.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tinymce package and not the tinymce package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bbcode plugin in TinyMCE 3.5.8 does not properly enforce the TinyMCE security policy for the (1) encoding directive and (2) valid_elements attribute, which allows attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via application-specific vectors, as demonstrated using a textarea element.
