Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

The Sleuth Kit（TSK）是Brian Carrier个人开发者的一套数据取证工具集合。该工具能够分析FAT、NTFS、UFS等文件系统，并提供文件系统的详细信息。 The Sleuth Kit（TSK） 4.14.0及之前版本存在路径遍历漏洞，该漏洞源于tsk_recover 组件中程序对文件系统镜像中的文件名与路径校验不足，攻击者可通过构造恶意路径遍历序列实现目录越权，导致任意文件写入。

Vulnerability Title
Sleuth Kit tsk_recover Path Traversal
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in tsk_recover that allows an attacker to write files to arbitrary locations outside the intended recovery directory via crafted filenames or directory paths with path traversal sequences in a filesystem image. An attacker can craft a malicious filesystem image with embedded /../ sequences in filenames that, when processed by tsk_recover, writes files outside the output directory, potentially achieving code execution by overwriting shell configuration or cron entries.
