Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache Wicket (org.apache.wicket:wicket-core) versions 8.0.0 through 8.17.0, 9.0.0 through 9.22.0, and 10.0.0 through 10.8.0 are affected. FolderUploadsFileManager does not validate the uploadFieldId parameter or the clientFileName before building file paths, so an unauthenticated attacker can write or read files outside the intended upload directory. Upgrade to version 10.9.0, which fixes the issue.
