UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72818

The URLS regular expression in nltk/tokenize/casual.py, compiled into TweetTokenizer.WORDRE and applied by TweetTokenizer.tokenize, contains a naked-domain branch whose domain-label prefix a-z0-9+?:.-a-z0-9+ is unbounded. Input consisting of many alternating label separators can be partitioned in...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-65915

NLTK versions before 3.10.0 contain a logic bug in FileSystemPathPointer.open where the sandbox validation check compares a normalized path against itself, making the security check permanently inert. Attackers can pass file:// URLs to nltk.data.load to read arbitrary files accessible to the...

CVE-2026-78681

NLTK versions before 3.10.3 use xml.etree.ElementTree to parse XML in multiple modules, which honors entity declarations in document DTDs. Attackers can craft XML payloads with nested entity declarations that expand from hundreds of bytes to megabytes in memory, causing denial of service...

CVE-2026-62388

NLTK versions before 3.10.0 default to ENFORCE=False in pathsec.py, causing all security validation functions to emit warnings instead of raising exceptions. Attackers can bypass path traversal and pickle deserialization protections by exploiting the disabled security controls that are only activ...

CVE-2026-71513

NLTK before 3.10.3 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in AllowlistUnpickler that validates only the pickle module string and not the global name, allowing attackers to resolve dotted names by attribute traversal to callables outside the allowlisted namespace. Attackers can craft...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-71514

NLTK 3.9.4 through 3.10.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in CrubadanCorpusReader. loadlangngrams joins the corpus root with crubadancode, the column-0 value read from the corpus table.txt mapping file, and opens the result with the builtin open rather than the pathsec-validated opener, s...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-62385

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...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-63310

NLTK before 3.9.3 fails to verify file integrity after downloading packages and before extraction in the downloader module. Attackers can perform man-in-the-middle attacks or DNS poisoning to inject malicious package contents that are extracted without validation...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-62384

NLTK versions before 3.10.2 contain a symlink-based sandbox bypass in FramenetCorpusReader that allows attackers to read arbitrary XML files outside the corpus root. Attackers can place symlinks with names containing no path separators inside the corpus subdirectory, which pass the path validatio...
