How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.wicket:wicket-core to version 8.20.0, 9.25.0, 10.12.0 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.wicket:wicket-core is a Java web application framework that takes simplicity, separation of concerns and ease of development to a whole new level. Wicket pages can be mocked up, previewed and later revised using standard WYSIWYG HTML design tools. Dynamic content processing and form handling is all handled in Java code using a first-class component model backed by POJO data beans that can easily be persisted using your favorite technology.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the component resource handlers in ResourceLink, LocalizedImageResource, and AjaxDownloadBehavior. An attacker can retrieve restricted resource contents, including data-table exports, by requesting a component listener URL that serves an IResource directly; these paths call IResource.respond() without checking the configured IAuthorizationStrategy. The flaw affects applications that restrict resources with a custom strategy or @AuthorizeResource and pass those resources to ResourceLink, Image, ImageButton, AjaxDownloadBehavior, or ExportToolbar.

Workarounds

  • Register the resource as an application shared resource and pass its ResourceReference to the component instead of the IResource; this routes requests through authorization and prevents the component-listener path from bypassing the resource authorization strategy.
