Abstract
Embodiments detect security vulnerabilities, e.g., backdoors, in applications. An embodiment reverses object code of a computer application to generate source code of the computer application. In turn, the generated source code is compared to trusted source code of the computer application to detect a security vulnerability in the object code of the computer application. Embodiments can take one or more protection actions, e.g., sending a notification or preventing execution of the object code, amongst other examples, in response to detecting the security vulnerability.
