Pypi · Nltk · CVE-2026-62384
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
NLTK versions prior to 3.10.2
**Description**
A symlink-based sandbox bypass exists in the FramenetCorpusReader. This issue allows attackers to read arbitrary XML files located outside the corpus root. By placing symlinks with names that contain no path separators inside the corpus subdirectory, attackers can bypass the path validation guard. These symlinks are then resolved to files outside the intended directory when accessed through the `frame by name()`, ` lu file()`, or `doc()` methods.
**Recommendations**
Update NLTK to version 3.10.2 or later.
