Description

The request handling in the core in Apache Wicket 7.0.0 on any platform allows an attacker to create a DOS via multiple requests to server resources. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 9.19.0 or 10.3.0, which fixes this issue.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

10.0.0 ≤ v < 10.3.010.0.0-M1 ≤ v ≤ 10.2.*7.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 7.18.*7.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 7.18.08.0.0 ≤ v ≤ 8.16.08.0.0-M1 ≤ v ≤ 8.16.*9.0.0 ≤ v < 9.19.09.0.0-M1 ≤ v ≤ 9.18.*10.0.0-M17.0.08.0.0-M19.0.0-M1
Affected range stops below 10.3.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
