AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting in Apache Wicket's Button component allows injection of arbitrary markup into rendered pages when the button is bound to a <button> HTML element whose model contains attacker-influenced data. The root cause is an intentional design choice - Button's constructor clears the escape-model-strings flag to prevent double-encoding of <input> attribute values - that becomes a security flaw in the <button> rendering path, where element body content is never encoded by ComponentTag. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two simultaneous application-level conditions: (1) the application renders a Button, AjaxButton, AjaxFallbackButton, or WizardButton component bound to a `<button>` HTML element - not the default `<input>` rendering - and (2) the button's model object is populated with data an attacker can influence, such as a stored user-submitted value or a request parameter reflected into the model. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Risk is conditional and lower than a typical network-exploitable XSS. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Apache Wicket 8.19.0, 9.24.0, or 10.11.0, which correct the encoding behavior for Button components rendered as `<button>` elements; these versions are confirmed by the vendor advisory at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q3/619. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
