AI-Generated

NLTK versions prior to 3.10.0 are susceptible to a path traversal vulnerability in the FramenetCorpusReader and NKJPCorpusReader, enabling attackers to read arbitrary XML files outside the designated corpus root by manipulating unsafe selectors or poisoned index states. This vulnerability can be exploited through specific methods such as frame_by_name, doc, lu, and header, potentially leading to unauthorized data exposure. Organizations using affected NLTK versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
