Summary
OS Command injection vulnerability in sleuthkit fls tool 4.11.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted value to the m parameter. NOTE: third parties have disputed this because there is no analysis showing that the backtick command executes outside the context of the user account that entered the command line.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
