How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 libdata-formvalidator-perl to version 4.66-3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The Data::FormValidator module 4.66 and earlier for Perl, when untaint_all_constraints is enabled, does not properly preserve the taint attribute of data, which might allow remote attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via form input.
