SCA: security update for org.apache.wicket:wicket-core (GHSA-xc66-mg8r-q6r5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 434710

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Apache Wicket 6.x before 6.25.0, 7.x before 7.5.0, and 8.0.0-M1 provide a CSRF prevention measure that
fails to discover some cross origin requests. The mitigation is to not only check the Origin HTTP header,
but also take the Referer HTTP header into account when no Origin was provided. Furthermore, not all
Wicket server side targets were subjected to the CSRF check. This was also fixed. (CVE-2016-6806)
