CVE-2024-36522

31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2024-36522 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Apache Wicket versions prior to 10.1.0, 9.18.0, and 8.16.0. The flaw stems from an XSLT injection vulnerability in the default configuration of XSLTResourceStream.java, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code when processing unvalidated, untrusted input. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction, potentially leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, immediate patching is strongly recommended due to the high severity and ease of exploitation.
