CVE-2023-48387 — TAIWAN-CA(TWCA) JCICSecurityTool fails to check the source website and access locations when executing multiple Registry-related functions

High CVSS 8.8

TAIWAN-CA(TWCA) JCICSecurityTool fails to check the source website and access locations when executing multiple Registry-related functions. In the scenario where a user is using the JCICSecurityTool and has completed identity verification, if the user browses a malicious webpage created by an attacker, the attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read or modify any registry file under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, thereby achieving remote code execution.

Matched remediation archetype

Command, code, expression, and template injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
  • Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
  • Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.

Remediate safely

  • Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
  • Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
  • Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
