GHSA-568F-PV23-39P4 NLTK: Stable FrameNet and NKJP readers parse outside-root XML

Summary Published nltk==3.9.4 still contains several XML-reader entrypoints that build parser paths from caller-controlled selectors or trusted-looking index state without preserving the corpus-root boundary. Details - Vulnerability type: Path traversal and trusted-root bypass - Affected componen...

CVE-2026-62385 NLTK 3.9.4 Path Traversal via FrameNet and NKJP Readers

NLTK versions before 3.10.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in FramenetCorpusReader and NKJPCorpusReader that allows attackers to parse XML files outside the corpus root by supplying unsafe selectors or poisoned index state. Attackers can exploit framebyname, doc, lu, and header methods wi...

GHSA-XH95-F55M-82FW Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) has path traversal in FramenetCorpusReader.frame() that allows arbitrary XML file read, bypassing the nltk.pathsec sandbox (ENFORCE=True)

Summary FramenetCorpusReader.framename interpolates a caller-supplied frame name into an XML file path that is read with the builtin open, bypassing CorpusReader.open and the nltk.pathsec sandbox — including strict ENFORCE=True mode. A ../ sequence in the name escapes the corpus root, yielding an...
