汎濫 - 《重编国语辞典修订本》、《漢語大詞典》 收录
------------------------

Editor:
We revised the policy to allow entries for variant compounds, but only when there's a *significant amount of usage*.

Here are the Google results for the three forms:
"氾濫" - 9,620,000
"泛濫" - 1,430,000
"汎濫" - 17,300

That suggests that either 氾濫 or 泛濫 is used in about 99.84% of cases, and that usage of 汎濫 is, at least nowadays, relatively insignificant (about 0.16%).

There are zero instances of 汎濫 in "Taiwan Panorama" magazine articles:
"氾濫" site:.taiwan-panorama.com - 207
"泛濫" site:.taiwan-panorama.com - 101
"汎濫" site:.taiwan-panorama.com - 0

We have 氾濫 as the trad form in the main entry for fànlàn, and, under the revised policy, we include another entry for 泛濫 as a variant with significant usage. However, 汎濫 doesn't appear to have significant usage.
Diff:
# 汎濫 泛滥 [[fan4lan4]] /variant of 氾濫|泛滥[fan4lan4]/
