    Abstract: Indirect function call target identification in software is provided. A set of explicit data flows that pass a function address between software modules of a program is determined using an explicit data dependency analysis. A set of indirect function call targets is generated from results of the explicit data dependency analysis and a dynamic execution analysis of the program. The set of indirect function call targets is expanded by identifying similar target functions based on feature embeddings generated by a graph neural network.
