Prevents CSRF attacks on Wicket components by checking the Origin and Referer HTTP headers for cross domain requests. By default only checks requests that try to perform an action on a component, such as a form submit, or link click.

Installation

You can enable this CSRF prevention filter by adding it to the request cycle listeners in your application's init method:

 @Override
 protected void init()
 {
        // ...
        getRequestCycleListeners().add(new CsrfPreventionRequestCycleListener());
        // ...
 }
 

Configuration

When the Origin or Referer HTTP header is present but doesn't match the requested URL this listener will by default throw a HTTP error ( 400 BAD REQUEST) and abort the request. You can configure this specific action.

A missing Origin and Referer HTTP header is handled as if it were a bad request and rejected. You can configure the specific action to a different value, suppressing or allowing the request when the HTTP headers are missing.

When the Origin HTTP header is present and has the value null it is considered to be from a "privacy-sensitive" context and will trigger the no origin action. You can customize what happens in those actions by overriding the respective onXXXX methods.

When you want to accept certain cross domain request from a range of hosts, you can whitelist those domains.

You can enable or disable this listener by overriding isEnabled().

You can customize whether a particular page should be checked for CSRF requests. For example you can skip checking pages that have a @NoCsrfCheck annotation, or only those pages that extend your base secure page class. For example:

 @Override
 protected boolean isChecked(IRequestablePage requestedPage)
 {
        return requestedPage instanceof SecurePage;
 }
 

You can also tweak the request handlers that are checked. The CSRF prevention request cycle listener checks only action handlers, not render handlers. Override isChecked(IRequestHandler) to customize this behavior.

You can customize the default actions that are performed by overriding the event handlers for them:

• onWhitelisted(HttpServletRequest, String, IRequestablePage) when an origin was whitelisted
• onMatchingOrigin(HttpServletRequest, String, IRequestablePage) when an origin was matching
• onAborted(HttpServletRequest, String, IRequestablePage) when an origin was in conflict and the request should be aborted
• onAllowed(HttpServletRequest, String, IRequestablePage) when an origin was in conflict and the request should be allowed
• onSuppressed(HttpServletRequest, String, IRequestablePage) when an origin was in conflict and the request should be suppressed
