+The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 8.18.0!
+
+Apache Wicket is an open source Java component oriented web application
+framework that powers thousands of web applications and web sites for
+governments, stores, universities, cities, banks, email providers, and
+more. You can find more about Apache Wicket at https://wicket.apache.org
+
+This release marks another minor release of Wicket 8. We
+use semantic versioning for the development of Wicket, and as such no
+API breaks are present in this release compared to 8.0.0.
+
+New and noteworthy

+ * CVE-2026-42509 crafted strings can break out of the JavaScript sequence
+ * CVE-2026-40010 possible session fixation using AuthenticatedWebSession
+
+
+Using this release

+With Apache Maven update your dependency to (and don't forget to
+update any other dependencies on Wicket projects to the same version):
+
+{% highlight xml%}
+<dependency>

+
+Upgrading from earlier versions

+    <p>The Apache Wicket PMC is proud to announce Apache Wicket 8.18.0!</p>
+
+<p>Apache Wicket is an open source Java component oriented web application
+framework that powers thousands of web applications and web sites for
+governments, stores, universities, cities, banks, email providers, and
+more. You can find more about Apache Wicket at https://wicket.apache.org</p>
+
+<p>This release marks another minor release of Wicket 8. We
+use semantic versioning for the development of Wicket, and as such no
+API breaks are present in this release compared to 8.0.0.</p>
+
+<h2 id="new-and-noteworthy">New and noteworthy</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li>CVE-2026-43646 crafted URLs can bypass PackageResourceGuard</li>
+  <li>CVE-2026-42509 crafted strings can break out of the JavaScript 
sequence</li>
+  <li>CVE-2026-40010 possible session fixation using 
AuthenticatedWebSession</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="using-this-release">Using this release</h2>
+
+<p>With Apache Maven update your dependency to (and don’t forget to
+update any other dependencies on Wicket projects to the same version):</p>
+
+<figure class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-xml" 
data-lang="xml"><span class="nt">&lt;dependency&gt;</span>

class="nt">&lt;/version&gt;</span>
+<span class="nt">&lt;/dependency&gt;</span></code></pre></figure>
+
+<p>Or download and build the distribution yourself, or use our
+convenience binary package you can find here:</p>

+<h2 id="upgrading-from-earlier-versions">Upgrading from earlier versions</h2>
+
+<p>If you upgrade from 8.y.z this release is a drop in replacement. If
+you come from a version prior to 8.0.0, please read our Wicket 8
+migration guide found at</p>
