Hi

I looked TagMePlugin page on twiki.org and came to understanding that you're primary
>
maintainers of TagMePlugin. I'm developing a small TWiki plugin as a part of my studies. To get
>
a better understanding how Twiki plugins work I was looking at the TagMePlugin's way to handle
>
user input and discovered that it doesn't properly validate it.
>
For example typing url:
>
"http://yourtwikihost/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/TWikiUsers?tpaction=add;tag=<blink>partyhard;tagmode="
>
yields interesting results. Manually typing urlparameters bypasses the need for authentication so
>
that you can tag any topic you are allowed to read (even with user 'guest') and you can use any tag
>
you like, it doesn't even have to exist.

Yours,

This is now fixed.
Docs are updated as well. Also removed the uninviting warning on top of the topic to not edit the page.

Re-opened to fix packaging issue. Also merged to 4.3 branch since this plugin is part of the TWiki release.
