Abstract
An example process includes identifying, by one or more processing devices, a location in computer code that is subject to vulnerability, where the location corresponds to a memory access that is repeatable and that operates on a particular type of variable; and performing processes, by one or more processing devices, to heal the vulnerability. The memory access may be part of a system-to-system or a user-to-system interaction that is repeatable.
