   Because "wget+" in "SecFilter wget+" is a regular expression.
   The "+" at the and means "one or more characters". In this
   case it applies to the letter "t".

   So it matches "wget", but it would match "wgett" or
   "wgetttttttttt" too.

   What do you want to block with that signature? You have to
   remember that something like:

   "cd%20.temp22;wget%20http://".

   looks to mod_security as:

   "cd .temp22;wget http:/".

   (read the part in the manual that discusses anti-evasion)

   Finally, it seems to me you want to use "wget ".

   Another word of warning: "wget " is *very* broad. Be careful
   not to block legitimate requests.
