CVE-2026-79674

A flaw was found in NLTK. A path traversal vulnerability in corpus-reader constructors allows a remote attacker to bypass the intended data root sandbox. By supplying arbitrary corpus root paths to LinThesaurusCorpusReader and PanLexLiteCorpusReader constructors, an attacker can read files and...

CVE-2026-79676

NLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a path traversal vulnerability in corpus readers that reopen root-derived paths using built-in open instead of nltk.pathsec.open, allowing symlinks to escape trusted roots. Attackers who stage symlinked corpus files under a trusted data root can disclose...

CVE-2026-79676 NLTK before 3.10.3 Path Traversal via Symlink Bypass

NLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a path traversal vulnerability in corpus readers that reopen root-derived paths using built-in open instead of nltk.pathsec.open, allowing symlinks to escape trusted roots. Attackers who stage symlinked corpus files under a trusted data root can disclose...

CVE-2026-79676

NLTK versions before 3.10.3 are affected by a path traversal vulnerability in its corpus readers. The root cause is that these readers reopen root-derived paths using the built-in open() instead of nltk.pathsec.open(), which fails to resolve symlinks confined to a trusted root. An attacker who ca...

CVE-2026-79674 NLTK 3.10.2 Path Traversal via corpus-reader constructors

NLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a path sandbox bypass vulnerability in corpus-reader constructors that allows attackers to read files outside the intended data root. Attackers can supply arbitrary corpus root paths to LinThesaurusCorpusReader and PanLexLiteCorpusReader constructors to access...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-0847

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - A vulnerability in NLTK versions up to and including 3.9.2 allows arbitrary file read via path traversal in multiple CorpusReader classes, including...

CVE-2026-0847 Path Traversal in nltk/nltk

A vulnerability in NLTK versions up to and including 3.9.2 allows arbitrary file read via path traversal in multiple CorpusReader classes, including WordListCorpusReader, TaggedCorpusReader, and BracketParseCorpusReader. These classes fail to properly sanitize or validate file paths, enabling...
