Apache Wicket CSRF Detection Flaw in Multiple Versions

CVE-2016-6806

What is CVE-2016-6806?

Apache Wicket versions prior to 6.25.0, 7.5.0, and 8.0.0-M1 have a vulnerability that inadequately implements CSRF prevention measures by failing to check the Referer HTTP header in certain scenarios. This oversight potentially allows malicious exploitation via cross-origin requests, as not all server-side targets within Wicket were subjected to CSRF checks. Mitigational measures require the inclusion of both the Origin and Referer headers to enhance the framework's security.
