CVE-2026-87718: Apache Wicket missing Content-Security-Policy headers with nested request handler delegates

CVE-2026-87718 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-01

Apache Wicket is a web application framework that uses Content-Security-Policy headers to protect against content injection attacks. When a page's render request handler is wrapped in multiple layers (a common practice with custom request mappers and encryption), Wicket fails to apply the CSP headers that block malicious scripts and styles, leaving pages vulnerable to code injection and data theft.

How to fix

Fixed in: Wicket 9.25.0, 10.12.0

Technical details

Wicket 10.10.0, 10.11.0, and 9.24.0 unwrap only a single IRequestHandlerDelegate level when determining whether a request renders a page; with deeper nesting, the CSP header detection fails and nonce-based protection for inline scripts and styles is lost. The vulnerability requires applications to explicitly wrap request handlers in multiple delegates (stock Wicket applications are not affected). An attacker can inject malicious content into vulnerable pages when nested delegation is present.

Affected products

Apache Wicket 9.24.0, 10.10.0, 10.11.0
