description
NLTK YCOECorpusReader before 3.10.4 can follow malicious psd or pos directory symlinks outside the loaded YCOE corpus root. An attacker who controls a YCOE corpus loaded by an application can cause read-only disclosure of files elsewhere in the permitted NLTK data sandbox.
mitigation
Upgrade nltk to version 3.10.4 or later. Until upgraded, do not load untrusted YCOE corpora and ensure corpus directories do not contain attacker-controlled directory symlinks.
fixed in 3.10.4
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
