Introducing Apache Wicket

Invented in 2004, Wicket is one of the few survivors of the Java serverside web framework wars of the mid 2000's. Wicket is an open source, component oriented, serverside, Java web application framework. With a history of over a decade, it is still going strong and has a solid future ahead. Learn why you should consider Wicket for your next web application.

Work with JavaScript and CSS

Global JavaScript libraries and CSS styling mix properly with component local JavaScript and CSS resources. You can use custom component libraries that ship with default JavaScript behaviour and CSS styling, without having to do anything yourself. Creating such self-contained component libraries is as easy as creating a JAR file.

CVE-2016-6806 Apache Wicket CSRF detection vulnerability

08 Nov 2016

Severity: Important

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected: Apache Wicket 6.20.0, 6.21.0, 6.22.0, 6.23.0, 6.24.0, 7.0.0, 7.1.0, 7.2.0, 7.3.0, 7.4.0 and 8.0.0-M1

Description: Affected versions of Apache Wicket 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.

Mitigation: 6.x users should upgrade to 6.25.0, 7.x users should upgrade to 7.5.0 and 8.0.0-M1 users should upgrade to 8.0.0-M2.

Credit: This issue was discovered by Gerben Janssen van Doorn

Users of Wicket verions prior to 6.20 are not affected because the particular component was introduced in 6.20.0.
