<p>Abuse of DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES or hijacking framework paths for malicious libraries. Defender observes processes invoking abnormal dylibs, modified plist files, or persistence entries pointing to altered binaries.</p>

- Part of
- DET0218 Detection Strategy for Hijack Execution Flow across OS platforms.
Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| macos:unifiedlog | Execution of process with DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES set | DC0032 Process Creation |
| macos:unifiedlog | Modified application plist or binary replacement in /Applications | DC0061 File Modification |
| macos:unifiedlog | Dylib loaded from abnormal location | DC0016 Module Load |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
AllowedDylibPaths | Baseline directories for dylib loading. |
PlistMonitors | Specific plist files used for persistence monitoring. |
