Newly released CVEs across every platform — sleek to read, verbose on demand, and served raw as markdown for AI and agent ingestion. Severity reads as depth: the deeper the contact, the graver the threat.
Depth = severity + exploitation

CVE-2026-78680High· 7.8NLTK versions before 3.10.3 fail to use validated absolute paths when invoking the Graphviz dot binary in dependencygraph.dot2img and AlignedSent._repr_svg_, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious dot binary …
GHSA-qp76-pq9f-gr9mHigh· 5.9Duplicate Advisory: Stable FrameNet and NKJP readers parse outside-root XML in 3.9.4
CVE-2026-70626Medium· 6.2NLTK versions before 3.9.4 contain a symlink escape vulnerability in CorpusReader.open() that allows local attackers to read arbitrary files outside the corpus root. The vulnerability exists because path validation is lexical and does no…
CVE-2026-66393High· 7.5NLTK versions before 3.9.4 contain an unbounded recursion vulnerability in JSONTaggedDecoder.decode_obj() that allows attackers to cause denial of service by supplying deeply nested JSON structures. Attackers can craft JSON payloads exce…
CVE-2026-65915Medium· 6.5NLTK versions before 3.10.0 contain a logic bug in FileSystemPathPointer.open() where the sandbox validation check compares a normalized path against itself, making the security check permanently inert. Attackers can pass file:// URLs to…
CVE-2026-63312High· 7.5NLTK before 3.10.0 contains an arbitrary local file read vulnerability in StreamBackedCorpusView that bypasses pathsec.ENFORCE by calling builtins.open() directly instead of pathsec.open(). Attackers who control the fileid argument can r…
CVE-2026-63311Medium· 5.3NLTK before 3.10.0 (affected versions <= 3.9.4) contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the validate_network_url() function in nltk/pathsec.py. The _resolve_hostname() helper catches OSError and ValueError during s…
CVE-2026-62388High· 7.5NLTK versions before 3.10.0 default to ENFORCE=False in pathsec.py, causing all security validation functions to emit warnings instead of raising exceptions. Attackers can bypass path traversal and pickle deserialization protections by e…
CVE-2026-62385Medium· 5.9NLTK versions before 3.10.0 contain a path traversal vulnerability in FramenetCorpusReader and NKJPCorpusReader that allows attackers to parse XML files outside the corpus root by supplying unsafe selectors or poisoned index state. Attac…
CVE-2026-62384High· 7.5NLTK versions before 3.10.2 contain a symlink-based sandbox bypass in FramenetCorpusReader that allows attackers to read arbitrary XML files outside the corpus root. Attackers can place symlinks with names containing no path separators i…
CVE-2026-62383Medium· 5.5nltk versions before 3.10.2 contain a symlink-based arbitrary file read vulnerability in IPIPANCorpusReader methods that bypass nltk.pathsec validation entirely. Attackers can place a symlink in the corpus root directory and read arbitra…
CVE-2026-71514Low· 2.5NLTK 3.9.4 through 3.10.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability in CrubadanCorpusReader. _load_lang_ngrams joins the corpus root with crubadan_code, the column-0 value read from the corpus table.txt mapping file, and opens the result w…
CVE-2026-71513High· 8.8NLTK before 3.10.3 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in AllowlistUnpickler that validates only the pickle module string and not the global name, allowing attackers to resolve dotted names by attribute traversal to callables …
CVE-2026-72818High· 7.5PoCThe URLS regular expression in nltk/tokenize/casual.py, compiled into TweetTokenizer.WORD_RE and applied by TweetTokenizer.tokenize, contains a naked-domain branch whose domain-label prefix [a-z0-9]+(?:[.\-][a-z0-9]+)* is unbounded. Inpu…
CVE-2026-12372Low· 3.7A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in nltk/nltk versions 3.9.4 and the current develop branch. The `nltk.pathsec.validate_network_url()` function, intended to prevent SSRF by rejecting internal network addresses, f…
CVE-2026-12261Medium· 6.5PoCA vulnerability in `nltk.downloader` in nltk/nltk versions <= 3.9.4 allows for cross-package resource and model poisoning. The downloader extracts package archives into shared namespaces such as `corpora/` and `taggers/` instead of packa…
CVE-2026-12259Medium· 6.5In nltk version 3.9.4, the `nltk.downloader.Downloader._download_package()` function writes downloaded package bytes to disk and may extract them before enforcing SHA-256 or MD5 checksum validation. This allows an attacker to tamper with…
The beta is over. VulnSea now runs at vulnsea.com, every old beta link redirects to the same page, and your account, API keys and watchlists came with it. Plus a round of hardening, faster pages, and new request limits agents should know about.
A summary of everything that shipped over the last two weeks — the whole corpus is open, agents get change feeds, alias resolution and EPSS movers, and the data now includes CVE.org, vendor CSAF, aggregated exploits and per-source scores.
A step-by-step guide to plugging VulnSea into automated and agentic workflows — poll the delta, triage without burning tokens, match an SBOM, and let an MCP-native model do the reasoning.
