Java Code Scanning

Hi there and a good day to you,

Cutting to the chase; if I am to do a textual scan of a piece of Java
application code for potential malicious code embedded, what are the key
words to scan for?

For example in the case of C/C++ program; I might look for memory
handling code i.e memcpy(), strcpy(), strdup(), memset(), system
execution code sys(), exec(), fork(), etc. IPC & RPC calls. Codes which
try to access password directory that sort of thing.

The idea is not to look for bad code writing, but to identify/flag code
which may have security implications for more detailed sturdy or even
code walkthrough.

Anyone have a list of keywords to search with?

Thanks!
