SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CODE INJECTION DETECTION

A computer-implemented method for detecting a code injection threat may include: performing a search process on a memory of a computer system to identify property list files; in response to an identification of a property list file, retrieving the property list file; performing an analysis process on the property list file to identify a target identifier; in response to an identification of the target identifier in the property list file, determining whether the target identifier corresponds to an electronic application stored in the memory of the computer system; in response to determining that the target identifier corresponds to the electronic application, determining that the property list file is indicative of a code injection threat to the electronic application; and in response to the determination that the property list file is indicative of a code injection threat to the electronic application, performing a security action based on the property list.
