Dynamic library insertion (dylib injection) is a technique that forces a running process to load an external shared library. It is used legitimately for debugging, instrumentation, and extending functionality, but also maliciously for code injection, persistence, and hijacking. On macOS, this is achieved via environment variables ( DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES ), dlopen() with RTLD_GLOBAL , or code injection using task ports. This report details the mechanisms, risks, detection, and mitigation. DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/path/to/my
