Arbitrary Local File Read

NLTK is vulnerable to an Arbitrary Local File Read. The vulnerability is due to StreamBackedCorpusView directly calling builtins.open instead of the security-enforcing pathsec.open, which allows an attacker who controls the fileid argument to bypass the ENFORCE setting and read arbitrary local...

NLTK: StreamBackedCorpusView Bypasses pathsec.ENFORCE - Arbitrary Local File Read

Summary Setting nltk.pathsec.ENFORCE = True is documented to sandbox all file access to allowed NLTK data directories and raise PermissionError on unauthorized access. However, StreamBackedCorpusView opens files via builtins.open directly, bypassing pathsec.validatepath entirely. An attacker who...
