CVE-2026-82704: Apache Wicket missing authorization in listener request handling

CVE-2026-82704 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-01

Apache Wicket is a Java web application framework that uses authorization rules to control which components users can access. A flaw in how the framework validates permissions for component listeners allows attackers to invoke protected component actions by bypassing authorization checks, potentially exposing sensitive functionality or data that should be restricted.

Technologies: Apache Wicket. Vendors: Apache.

Technical details

ListenerRequestHandler fails to enforce authorization when a listener URL omits the page identifier, causing a new page instance to be constructed without running Component#configure(). This skips the authorization flag check that normally blocks unauthorized listeners. Stateless pages are particularly vulnerable since Wicket itself generates listener URLs without page identifiers for them. The vulnerability affects components restricted via IAuthorizationStrategy (including role-based decorators) or Component#onConfigure() visibility/enabled flags.

Affected products

Apache Wicket 8.0.0 through 8.19.0, 9.0.0 through 9.24.0, 10.0.0 through 10.11.0
