CVE-2026-40010: Posssible session fixation attack in Apache Wicket. in Apache Software Foundation Apache Wicket
Missing invocation of Servlet http web request method changeSessionId after session binding can be exploited for a session fixation attack in Apache Wicket. This issue affects Apache Wicket: from 8.0.0 through 8.17.0, 9.0.0, from 10.0.0 through 10.8.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 10.9.0, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
Apache Wicket suffers from a session fixation vulnerability because it does not invoke the Servlet API's changeSessionId method after binding a session, allowing an attacker to reuse a known session ID. This affects multiple versions from 8.0.0 through 10.8.0. The vulnerability is addressed by upgrading to version 10.9.0 where the session ID is properly changed after session binding.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to fixate a session ID and hijack a user's session, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the user's authenticated session within applications using affected Apache Wicket versions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Wicket to version 10.9.0 or later, where this session fixation vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the available data.
