Code Injection Detection

MAD continuously monitors the application's runtime environment to identify attempts at runtime code injection. This type of attack occurs when a malicious actor introduces arbitrary binary code or unauthorized libraries into the process's memory space, with the purpose of altering the application's legitimate behavior, bypassing security controls, or executing malicious payloads stealthily.

This vector is widely exploited by instrumentation tools, dynamic loaders and hooking frameworks, allowing external code to run in the same context as the application and directly interfere with its internal logic and handling of sensitive data.

Technical Mechanism: Similarly to the protection applied on Android, MAD observes the dynamic loading behavior of modules and the organization of the executing process's memory space, looking for anomalies that indicate the presence of foreign or unauthorized components. Upon identifying signs of code or improper library injection, MAD's RASP classifies the environment as compromised, immediately applies the configured protection policies and reports the event to the Command Center, preserving the application's integrity and reducing the risk of runtime compromise.
