How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.wicket:wicket-core to version 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 Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the newResourceResponse() method in AbstractFileUploadResource. An attacker can consume server disk space or heap and deny service by submitting a multipart upload with an oversized maxSize and omitting fileMaxSize and fileCountMax; the server trusts these request parameters instead of enforcing the limits configured on FileUploadToResourceField. Unless the application explicitly authorizes the separately mounted upload resource, the request requires no authentication or prior page view.
