CVE-2024-27439
MEDIUMCVE-2024-27439 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in org.apache.wicket:wicket. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2024-27439 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Apache Wicket: Possible bypass of CSRF protection
Blast Radius
org.apache.wicket:wicket☕org.apache.wicket:wicketReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
An error in the evaluation of the fetch metadata headers could allow a bypass of the CSRF protection in Apache Wicket. This issue affects Apache Wicket: from 9.1.0 through 9.16.0, and the milestone releases for the 10.0 series. Apache Wicket 8.x does not support CSRF protection via the fetch metadata headers and as such is not affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.17.0 or 10.0.0, which fixes the issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.wicket:wicket. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update org.apache.wicket:wicket to 9.17.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-27439 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-27439 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2024-27439. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
