Summary

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-3gq4-3j92-5w49. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description 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 filesystem content and SQLite databases outside the pathsec sandbox boundary.

Affected packages

Remediation: No patched version is listed by GitHub.
