Summary

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-m4rf-3fr8-xwx3. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description NLTK before 3.10.3 fails to validate JVM options passed through the per-call options parameter in the java() function, allowing attackers to inject dangerous JVM flags. Attackers can supply malicious options like -agentpath, -javaagent, or @argfile to Stanford wrapper classes to achieve arbitrary code execution.
