• Max score is 1000. Note that the real score may have changed since the PR was raised.
• This PR was automatically created by Snyk using the credentials of a real user.
• Some vulnerabilities couldn't be fully fixed and so Snyk will still find them when the project is tested again. This may be because the vulnerability existed within more than one direct dependency, but not all of the affected dependencies could be upgraded.

This upgrade spans several minor versions and introduces environment and behavioral changes that require verification.

Key Changes:

• Python Version Requirement: The target version nltk@3.10.3 requires Python 3.10 or newer. [7] Support for Python versions 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 was dropped in intermediate releases. [1]
• WordNet Sorting: As of version 3.9, WordNet synsets and relations are no longer sorted by default. Code that relies on a sorted output must now explicitly sort the results. [2]
• METEOR Evaluation: Since version 3.6.5, the METEOR evaluation function requires pre-tokenized input, which may require changes to how it is called. [1]
• Security Fixes: This upgrade incorporates numerous security patches, including replacing pickled models to resolve CVE-2024-39705, which is noted as a breaking change. [2, 10]

Recommendation:
Ensure your environment uses Python 3.10+. Review any code using WordNet's synset/relation ordering or the METEOR evaluation function to ensure compatibility.
