This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\nNLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a filesystem containment bypass vulnerability in the Downloader.download and Downloader.incr_download methods that allows attackers to overwrite files outside the install root through pre-existing hardlinks. Attackers with write access to a shared downloader directory can create hardlinks pointing to outside-root files that are then overwritten during normal package extraction, mutating files outside the intended install tree.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"nltk","ecosystem":"PyPI","purl":"pkg:pypi/nltk"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"3.10.2"}]}],"versions":["0.8","0.9","0.9.3","0.9.4","0.9.5","0.9.6","0.9.7","0.9.8","0.9.9","2.0.1","2.0.1rc1","2.0.1rc2-git","2.0.1rc3","2.0.1rc4","2.0.2","2.0.3","2.0.4","2.0.5","2.0b4","2.0b5","2.0b6","2.0b7","2.0b8","2.0b9","3.0.0","3.0.0b1","3.0.0b2","3.0.1","3.0.2","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.0.5","3.1","3.10.0","3.10.1","3.10.2","3.2","3.2.1","3.2.2","3.2.3","3.2.4","3.2.5","3.3","3.4","3.4.1","3.4.2","3.4.3","3.4.4","3.4.5","3.5","3.5b1","3.6","3.6.1","3.6.2","3.6.3","3.6.4","3.6.5","3.6.6","3.6.7","3.7","3.8","3.8.1","3.9","3.9.1","3.9.2","3.9.3","3.9.4","3.9b1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2026/08/GHSA-4xw3-jf9x-x7mf/GHSA-4xw3-jf9x-x7mf.json"}}],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/nltk/nltk/security/advisories/GHSA-f794-5jv7-7672"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-81727"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/nltk-before-3.10.3-hardlink-file-overwrite-via-downloader"}],"database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-59"],"github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2026-09-02T14:35:28Z","nvd_published_at":"2026-08-27T17:21:03Z","severity":"MODERATE"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"CVSS_V4","score":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/MVI:X/MVA:X/MSC:X/MSI:X/MSA:X/S:X/AU:X/R:X/V:X/RE:X/U:X"}]}
