CVE-2013-2055
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUnspecified vulnerability in Apache Wicket 1.4.x before 1.4.23, 1.5.x before 1.5.11, and 6.x before 6.8.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors that cause raw HTML templates to be rendered without being processed and reading the information that is outside of wicket:panel markup.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceApache Wicket versions 1.4.x before 1.4.23, 1.5.x before 1.5.11, and 6.x before 6.8.0 contain an information disclosure vulnerability where raw HTML templates are rendered without being processed, allowing attackers to read sensitive information that falls outside wicket:panel markup boundaries.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Apache Wicket versionLocate the wicket jar file in your application WEB-INF/lib directory or your build artifact (pom.xml, build.gradle), or run: jar -xf your-wicket-jar.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and inspect the Implementation-Version attributeAffected if The version is 1.4.x before 1.4.23, 1.5.x before 1.5.11, or 6.x before 6.8.0
-
Verify use of wicket:panel markupSearch your HTML template files for instances of <wicket:panel> tags using grep or your IDE search functionAffected if Your application uses wicket:panel components in any HTML template file
-
Inspect for content outside wicket:panel boundariesOpen each HTML file containing <wicket:panel> and examine whether any content exists before the opening <wicket:panel> tag or after the closing </wicket:panel> tag that should have been processed by Wicket but was notAffected if Sensitive information such as credentials, tokens, internal data, or other content intended to be handled by Wicket appears as raw HTML outside the wicket:panel tags
-
Test template rendering in a non-production environmentDeploy your application and access a page using wicket:panel components, then view the page source in your browser to confirm whether all markup renders as expected or if raw unprocessed content appears outside the panel boundariesAffected if Raw HTML or sensitive data that should have been filtered by Wicket is visible in the rendered page outside the panel area
You are affected if your installed Apache Wicket version falls within the vulnerable ranges AND your application uses HTML templates with wicket:panel components containing content outside those boundaries that could be exposed as raw HTML.
