Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
FolderUploadsFileManager in Apache Wicket does not validate or sanitize the uploadFieldId parameter or the clientFileName before constructing file paths, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files outside the intended upload directory or read files from arbitrary locations on the server.
