Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for nltk.

CVE-2026-33231[0]:
| NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a suite of open source Python
| modules, data sets, and tutorials supporting research and
| development in Natural Language Processing. In versions 3.9.3 and
| prior, `nltk.app.wordnet_app` allows unauthenticated remote shutdown
| of the local WordNet Browser HTTP server when it is started in its
| default mode. A simple `GET /SHUTDOWN%20THE%20SERVER` request causes
| the process to terminate immediately via `os._exit(0)`, resulting in
| a denial of service. Commit bbaae83db86a0f49e00f5b0db44a7254c268de9b
| patches the issue.
