Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

NLTK versions before 3.10.0 let the FrameNet and NKJP corpus readers parse XML files outside the corpus root. An application that passes attacker-influenced frame names, LU ids, NKJP file identifiers, or corpus index data to these readers can have outside-root XML content returned. Upgrade to NLTK 3.10.0.
