CVE-2016-6806
HighSummary
Apache Wicket versions 6.x before 6.25.0, 7.x before 7.5.0, and 8.0.0-M1 contain a security vulnerability that improperly handles CSRF prevention, failing to detect some cross-origin requests. The issue also involves not checking all Wicket server-side targets.
Risk Assessment
Organizations using vulnerable versions of Apache Wicket may be exposed to CSRF attacks, potentially leading to unauthorized access to application data or functions.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to Apache Wicket versions 6.25.0, 7.5.0, or 8.0.0-M1 to ensure proper CSRF protection.
Other vulnerabilities in Apache Wicket
See all- CVE-2026-43646High
Apache Wicket has a vulnerability that exposes sensitive information to unauthorized actors. This affects versions from 8.0.0 to 8.17.0, from 9.0.0 to 9.22.0, and from 10.0.0 to 10.8.0.
- CVE-2014-3526High
Apache Wicket before 1.5.12, 6.x before 6.17.0, and 7.x before 7.0.0-M3 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via identifiers for storing page markup for temporary user sessions.
- CVE-2014-7808High
Apache Wicket before 1.5.13, 6.x before 6.19.0, and 7.x before 7.0.0-M5 make it easier for attackers to defeat a cryptographic protection mechanism and predict encrypted URLs by leveraging use of CryptoMapper as the default encryption provider.
- CVE-2016-6793Critical
The DiskFileItem class in Apache Wicket 6.x before 6.25.0 and 1.5.x before 1.5.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) and write to, move, and delete files with the permissions of DiskFileItem. Additionally, if running on a Java VM before 1.3.1, it can execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized Java object.
- CVE-2026-66391Medium
A vulnerability in Apache Wicket due to use of insufficiently random values and protection mechanism failure. Affects versions 9.0.0 through 9.23.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.9.0. Upgrade to version 10.10.0 is recommended.
- CVE-2026-66390Medium
A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Apache Wicket due to improper input neutralization during web page generation. Affects versions 9.0.0 through 9.23.0 and 10.0.0 through 10.9.0. Upgrade to version 10.10.0 is recommended.
Original NVD description (English source)
Apache Wicket 6.x before 6.25.0, 7.x before 7.5.0, and 8.0.0-M1 provide a CSRF prevention measure that fails to discover some cross origin requests. The mitigation is to not only check the Origin HTTP header, but also take the Referer HTTP header into account when no Origin was provided. Furthermore, not all Wicket server side targets were subjected to the CSRF check. This was also fixed.
