Not enough EPSS history yet.
In nltk version 3.9.4, the `nltk.downloader.Downloader._download_package()` function writes downloaded package bytes to disk and may extract them before enforcing SHA-256 or MD5 checksum validation. This allows an attacker to tamper with the package response body for `info.url` through a compromised mirror, malicious proxy, or other source-substitution condition, leading to the installation of attacker-controlled package bytes. The vulnerability can result in malicious corpus or model content being trusted by downstream users or applications.

CVE-2026-0392——
——0eParakstītājs 3.0 for Windows before version
1.10.0 retrieves and executes its automatic updates over a channel that is not
authenticated or integrity-protected. On each launch the application fetches an
update descriptor (XML) over TLS but accepts any TLS certificate (a permissive
TrustManager and a HostnameVerifier that always returns true), does not verify
any digital signature on the update descriptor, and does not verify the
Authenticode signature or a checksum of the downloaded installer before running
it. A man-in-the-middle attacker able to redirect www.eparaksts.lv can serve a
crafted update descriptor pointing to an attacker-controlled executable, which
the client downloads and executes, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the
victim host.8hCVE-2026-66398—15.4%
——5phpMyFAQ before v4.1.6 contains a remote code execution vulnerability in the configuration API that allows authenticated administrators with CONFIGURATION_EDIT and ATTACHMENT_ADD privileges to write arbitrary PHP files by manipulating the upgrade.lastDownloadedPackage setting. Attackers can upload a malicious ZIP file as an attachment, point the updater configuration to its stored path, and extract it into the application root to achieve code execution as the web server user.6dCVE-2026-50562—4.8%
——1FastGPT is a knowledge-based AI application platform. At commit 22ebfacbb43311e9b73294040ae0eb87390c6bba and earlier, artifacts built from untrusted pull request code in .github/workflows/preview-docs-build.yml and .github/workflows/preview-fastgpt-build.yml can be downloaded by privileged workflow_run jobs in .github/workflows/preview-docs-push.yml and .github/workflows/preview-fastgpt-push.yml, allowing attacker-controlled Docker images from the document/ tree or FastGPT build context to be pushed to GHCR and, for documentation previews, deployed with secrets.KUBE_CONFIG_CN.19dCVE-2021-479867.5 HIG2.2%
——1Parse Server before 4.10.0 contains a supply chain vulnerability where incorrect version tags were pushed to the repository linking to unreviewed code in a personal fork. Attackers could exploit this by specifying affected version tags in dependency declarations to execute unreviewed and potentially malicious code.4dCVE-2026-556988.8 HIG18.3%
——5pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, pnpm can persist package-manager bootstrap metadata in the first YAML document of pnpm-lock.yaml. Before the patch, direct pnpm execution trusted an already resolved packageManagerDependencies entry when the committed env lockfile contained matching pnpm and @pnpm/exe versions. A malicious repository could therefore commit package-manager lockfile package records and snapshots that bypassed fresh package-manager resolution, then cause pnpm to install and execute bytes selected by that committed lockfile state during automatic version switching. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3.34dCVE-2026-556977.5 HIG7.1%
——2pnpm is a package manager. Prior to 10.34.2 and 11.5.3, pnpm can install configDependencies declared in pnpm-workspace.yaml before command dispatch. Before the patch, a repository could declare pacquet or @pnpm/pacquet as a config dependency and pnpm treated that repository-controlled dependency as an install-engine opt-in. During install, pnpm resolved a platform-specific @pacquet/<platform>-<arch>/pacquet binary from node_modules/.pnpm-config/<packageName> and spawned it as the developer or CI user. This vulnerability is fixed in 10.34.2 and 11.5.3.34d
