NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-nltk package and not the py3-nltk package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

NLTK through 3.8.1 allows remote code execution if untrusted packages have pickled Python code, and the integrated data package download functionality is used. This affects, for example, averaged_perceptron_tagger and punkt.
