"Injecting code," is not the way I'd describe making changes to a product that it's your job to maintain.

(am Googler but obviously not speaking in an official capacity)

My understanding from articles I've read is that it wasn't her job to maintain the product. It was her first time interacting with that code base, and she intentionally altered the defaults of the code review tool so that the team responsible for the extension wouldn't be informed of her changes.

did the change have anything to do with their job? No, so it's basically injecting code.
