CVE-2012-4230 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:19.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tinymce package and not the tinymce package as distributed by Ubuntu.
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.
