Abstract:
An example process includes: identifying, by one or more processing devices, candidate code in executable code based on a static analysis of the executable code, where the candidate code includes code that is vulnerable to attack or the candidate code being on a path to code that is vulnerable to attack, where information related to the attack is based, at least in part, on the candidate code; customizing, by one or more processing devices, a healing template based on the information to produce a customized healing template; and inserting, by one or more processing devices, the customized healing template into a version of the executable code at a location that is based on a location of the candidate code in the executable code, where the customized healing template includes code that is executable to inhibit the attack.
