CVE-2026-40025: Sleuthkit The Sleuth Kit

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Sleuth Kit through 4.14.0 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the APFS filesystem keybag parser where the wrapped_key_parser class follows attacker-controlled length fields without bounds checking, causing heap reads past the allocated buffer. An attacker can craft a malicious APFS disk image that triggers information disclosure or crashes when processed by any Sleuth Kit tool that parses APFS volumes.

Affected products

• Sleuthkit The Sleuth Kit: before 4.15.0 (fixed in 4.15.0)
