NLTK 3.10.3 之前的版本中存在远程代码执行漏洞。该漏洞源于白名单 pickle 加载器信任整个模块命名空间，而非仅信任特定的安全可调对象。攻击者可通过构造恶意的 pickle 载荷，利用 pickle 的 REDUCE 机制调用命名空间内危险的函数（例如 和 ），从而在加载模型或分词器（tokenizer）工件时执行任意命令。

Vulnerability Title
NLTK before 3.10.3 Remote Code Execution via Unsafe Pickle Deserialization
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
NLTK versions before 3.10.3 contain a remote code execution vulnerability in allowlisted pickle loaders that trust entire module namespaces instead of specific safe callables. Attackers can craft malicious pickle payloads invoking dangerous in-namespace functions like ReppTokenizer._execute and numpy.f2py.crackfortran.myeval through pickle REDUCE to execute arbitrary commands during model or tokenizer artifact loading.
