1. A method, implemented at a computer system that includes a processor, for preventing inclusion of payload data in code execution log data, the method comprising:
determining that a payload data item associated with code execution log data has entropy exceeding a defined entropy threshold;
identifying a particular executable code that interacted with the payload data item; and
taking a preventative action that excludes the payload data item from inclusion with a record of execution of the particular executable code.
