#### Brief overview of PR changes/additions This PR fixes a security vulnerability where dangerous MXP tags like `<SEND>` were being processed in open mode, allowing malicious users to inject commands through chat channels. The fix ensures that only safe formatting tags are allowed in open mode, while secure and locked modes continue to work as intended. #### Motivation for adding to Mudlet The MXP specification clearly defines three security modes: - **Open mode** (default): Only basic formatting tags should be allowed - **Secure mode**: All tags are allowed when explicitly enabled by the server - **Locked mode**: No tags are processed Mudlet was treating open mode the same as secure mode, creating a security risk where players could send clickable links with commands to other players through in-game chat that uses open mode. #### Other info (issues closed, discussion etc) Closes #8150 **Changes made:** - Added `TMxpMudlet::startTagReceived()` to validate tags against current MXP mode - Open mode now only allows safe formatting tags (B, I, U, COLOR, FONT, BR, etc.) - Secure mode continues to allow all tags including SEND, A, VAR, SOUND, MUSIC - Locked mode blocks all tags as expected - Added comprehensive test suite with 5 test cases covering all modes - All 13 existing tests still pass **Testing:** ✅ New test: `TMxpModeSecurityTest` with full coverage of mode transitions ✅ All existing MXP tests continue to pass ✅ Manual testing with live MUD connection confirmed the fix works
