Abstract: An execution environment has been designed that detects likely data exfiltration by using taint tracking and abstract execution. The execution environment is instrumented to monitor for use of functions identified as having functionality for transferring data out of an execution environment. In addition, heuristics-based rules are defined to mark or “taint” objects (e.g., variables) that are likely targets for exfiltration. With taint tracking and control flow analysis, the execution environment tracks the tainted objects through multiple execution paths of a code sample. After comprehensive code coverage, logged use of the monitored functions are examined to determine whether any tainted objects were passed to the monitored functions. If so, the logged use will indicate a destination or sink for the tainted source. Each tainted source-sink association can be examined to verify whether the exfiltration was malicious.
