The unsafe-path regex check is performed before url2pathname() decodes the %xx sequences (a classic decode-after-check / TOCTOU-style flaw), allowing an attacker to bypass the protection documented in NLTK&#39;s SECURITY.md and read arbitrary files from the filesystem. While literal traversal strings such as ../../../etc/passwd are correctly blocked, encoded variants such as %2fetc%2fpasswd, %2e%2e%2f..., and ..%2f..%2f slip past the regex and are subsequently decoded into a real filesystem path. ### Affected Component nltk/data.py — find(), normalize_resource_url(), and the _UNSAFE_NO_PROTOCOL_RE regex check. Relevant occurrences:</p> <p>data.py L650–L653 — final path constructed from url2pathname(resource_name) after checks data.py L54–L69 — _UNSAFE_NO_PROTOCOL_RE operates only on the undecoded string data.py L219–L245 — normalize_resource_url() for nltk: scheme contributes to decode-after-check data.py L615–L618 — defense-in-depth traversal check also operates on undecoded input</p> <p>Root Cause The regex _UNSAFE_NO_PROTOCOL_RE is matched against the raw resource string. Path normalization via url2pathname() happens later, so any percent-encoded / (%2f) or . (%2e) is invisible to the regex but becomes active in the final path. ### Proof of Concept ``` &#34;&#34;&#34; NLTK Arbitrary File Read via URL-Encoded Path Traversal ======================…</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Homebrew: acronym</p> <p>### Summary nltk.data.load() in NLTK is vulnerable to path traversal via URL-encoded path separators and traversal segments when using the nltk: URL scheme.
