{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-79676","description":"NLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a path traversal vulnerability in corpus readers that reopen root-derived paths using built-in open() instead of nltk.pathsec.open(), allowing symlinks to escape trusted roots. Attackers who stage symlinked corpus files under a trusted data root can disclose outside-root content through normal corpus reader methods like channels(), domains(), and synonyms().","publishedAt":"2026-08-25T16:17:28","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-28T18:56:34","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-79676","cvssScore":5.9,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","epssProbability":0.00297,"riskScore":0.61,"affectedProduct":"NLTK","affectedVersions":"<3.10.3","vulnerabilityType":"Library","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-79676","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-79676","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-79676","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-79676","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-79676","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-79676","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-79676","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-79676"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-79676"}}
