  "description": "NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a suite of open source Python modules, data sets, and tutorials supporting research and development in Natural Language Processing. In versions 3.9.3 and prior, \u0060nltk.app.wordnet_app\u0060 allows unauthenticated remote shutdown of the local WordNet Browser HTTP server when it is started in its default mode. A simple \u0060GET /SHUTDOWN%20THE%20SERVER\u0060 request causes the process to terminate immediately via \u0060os._exit(0)\u0060, resulting in a denial of service.
