NLTK before 3.10.4 contains a denial of service vulnerability in Tree.chomsky_normal_form that allows remote attackers to exhaust CPU through quadratic-time right-factor binarization using list.pop(0). Attackers can supply a wide flat treebank tree parsed by Tree.fromstring to force tens of seconds of single-threaded CPU consumption, blocking the processing thread.
