"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-014271 advisory.

    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
