| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in NLTK. When processing untrusted input for its `per-call options` parameter in the `java()` function, NLTK fails to validate Java Virtual Machine (JVM) options. A remote attacker could exploit this by injecting dangerous JVM flags, such as -agentpath or -javaagent, to achieve arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires specific conditions, indicating a higher attack complexity.
