High [CVE-2026-12252] Arbitrary Code Execution via Untrusted JAR File Loading
CVE-2026-12252Source published Source updated
In nltk/nltk versions 3.9.3 and earlier, five Stanford interface classes (StanfordPOSTagger, StanfordNERTagger, StanfordParser, StanfordDependencyParser, and StanfordNeuralDependencyParser) are vulnerable to untrusted JAR code execution. These classes accept user-controllable JAR paths and execute them via the `java()` function, which invokes `subprocess. Popen()` without integrity verification. This vulnerability is identical to CVE-2026-0848, which was fixed for StanfordSegmenter by adding SHA256 verification. However, the fix was not applied to these additional classes, leaving them susceptible to arbitrary code execution when loading untrusted JAR files. A flaw was found in the `nltk` library. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute malicious code by providing an…

- No fixed-version detail extracted. This does not mean no fix exists.
- Mitigation guidance
- To mitigate this issue, users should ensure that only trusted Java Archive (JAR) files are processed by the `nltk` Stanford interface classes. Avoid loading JAR files from untrusted sources, as this vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution. Implement strict input validation and source verification for any JAR files used with `nltk` to prevent the execution of malicious code.
