CVE-2026-79674 is fixed in nltk on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-79674 (version 3.10.3-1), released August 27, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
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.
